"It's kind of a special feeling
When you're out on the sea alone
Staring at the full moon, like a lover

April 26, 2007 -Little Duck was hit and killed by a car a short while ago. Leaving behind a nest with two eggs. The Forest Service will gather the eggs and remove her
I hear an "eep" type sound, heard it again... moved in the general direction. I am not sure if it was the snake, but I think it was. Then I saw the leaves move. Then a tiny little head. This made my day.
Ok everyone on the east coast join in.. 'Stormy Weather....'
To honor those who lost their lives at Virginia Tech.

some will say the flower bloomed too soon
The colors left a month ago and now
This night is cold and dark and filled
With the crack of trees and crunch
Of frozen footsteps
A man walks, ponders how much cold
He can take with a smile, with a balled up fist
While the snow falls, hides
His gritted teeth
While deep deep down a flower sits
Beneath the snow and ice, beneath
The balled up fist and gritted
Teeth, it blooms
And some will say the flower bloomed
Too soon, to hope for survival, to hope for
Warmth, but the man stoops down
And says, “not soon enough”.
this little guy visits sometimes. I love the pattern of black n white on the face.
I bought this little rubber peep because I couldn't resist. Then I wondered what the birds and squirrels would do if I set it out with them.
The squirrels were happy to sniff it and leave it alone, the birds gladly ate with it. :)

kite flying, jogging, walking, sitting.... late afternoon National Mall - Washington DC
I may brave the tourists to go to the tidal basin Monday to get the traditional shot. We'll see :-)
the macro lens, with it being spring and all :-) Everytime I use this lens I ask myself why I don't use it more often, it's a great lens.

The cardinal said after seeing the seed I put out. A really overcast day here. I wish the quality was better, but sometimes you take what you get :)
one mapped - not sure about the coloring....My eyes are tired. LOL...
A fabulous day! mostly sunny and warm. At Huntley Meadows today I saw an Eagle, Great Blue Heron, Osprey, Vulture, ducks and geese and loud children.
Never seen this before, so I wondered if it were Ernie Jr from last summer? Or if this poor wee guy had mites or something. I prefer to think it's Jr.
Happy First Day of Spring (Tuesday March 20)
a beautiful blue sky but just enough wind and wind gusts to make being outside on the cold side. It warms up again this week. Yeah
Ernie hiding by a tree as I walked by. He and his partner are guarding their female. It's that time of year again. I didn't blow his cover. True to his nature, he called his buddy in to chase off another male.
it was a good little point n shoot... buh bye little Nikon
