Hummingbirds are perhaps my favorite bird to photograph! Why? I think for several reasons. 1 – It’s difficult! And, that...
Living in "Cardinal Nation" and having friends who are very fond of the bird, I decided to give them their own page. So, here you go, 101 cardinals throughout the seasons.
I have over 8,000 bird portraits of numerous species which includes; bluebird, cardinal, woodpeckers, goldfinch, hummingbird, blue jay, owl, warblers of all kind, wrens, titmouse, thrush, mockingbird, phoebe, tanager, oriole, fly catchers, birds of prey, and many others.
Each year we have a resident hummer(s) that move in and take control of our flower garden and nectar feeder. And, if you've not witnessed it, hummers are very aggressive towards anything that invades its space!
From April to June, Missouri’s backyards become a seasonal theater of color, song, and movement. Spring migration peaks in May, with warblers, vireos, and flycatchers sweeping through in waves

Cast like iron he fixed his gaze, Upon the future of distant days, With hope and dreams as bright as flame, A yearning heart, an untold claim.

Hi, there! In the past I’ve posted thousands of bird portraits and snapshots – but not all I’ve captured. You can check them out in my 5 bird galleries on the menu and my monthly blog posts at the bottom of each page.
After the recent devastation caused by hurricane Helene I started looking at some raw data on the NOAA website. I decided to download 100 years of data, put into a spreadsheet, then extrapolate the information. What I found was very interesting so I thought I'd share some of that data with you.

As a Christian people we have forgotten, or never really understood, the art of lament. So here are my thoughts....
Two lonely monarchs,Each sitting on their throne,Both trying desperately,To buy up every vote. Here a promise,There a promise,Do words really...
Kathleen and I walk early in the morning. Since school started we've been walking past high schoolers waiting for their bus. In one of the small groups standing at a corner we noticed five girls. One standing by herself and a group of the other four.
A favorite song of mine is Flawless by MercyMe. I'll share the lyrics below. I always enjoy seeing a newly emerged butterfly from its cocoon. In essence they are "flawless." Not a mark on them. Such was the case today as I saw this tiger swallowtail blow through our garden.
Looking through my window pane,Is it just me, or has the world gone insane,A canvas painted with hues of gray,Where...

In between the sporadic bird activity yesterday, I was glancing down at the river rock in our hardscape and noticed a tiny fossil inside a golf ball sized rock that was split in two. I began to ponder for a moment, then came this...
