Mid summer

It's mid summer. Crickets are quietly chirping, and there are still some bird singing in the morning.  I came across a hermit thrush on her nest right alongside a road I frequently walk, in her nest were 3 babies, and 1 intact egg. Granted the photo is not the best, it's just a record of the moment.

Early morning and evening have a beautiful quality about them, the light golden, the air calm and cool.They are my favorite times of the day. Although late night in summer is also hard to beat. Moonlight, the quiet, loons calling.

Summer is quickly moving along, as it always seems to do here in Maine. Stop and catch you breath, and it's gone.

With a dog as your co-pilot, well, 4 eyes are better than 2.

Happy Birthday USA!

It's being a wet-ish spring. The plants around here are looking really good. And so are the mosquitoes.

I'm slowly getting back on track.

My dog continues to impress me. Smarter than me, well sometimes.
But he waits for me, minds pretty well, and knows how to have fun.

A warbler.

Northern Parula

A bird flitted by, it was small, I didn't get a good look. Then a cedar waxwing  sat with a strawberry in it's beak, I looked up and saw a small face. She was watching me.
