Hobbyist nature picture-taker in the mid-Atlantic, USA trying desperately to keep my tiny spot in the online world positive.
All images I post are mine unless otherwise stated.
If they bring you a smile, a laugh, or some bit of joy, then I've succeeded.
It's way too early, but I'm starting to get antsy for the return of the feisty zoomers.

Another cold, frosty morning but they say that is about to change. Looking at the sun rising over the local marsh.

Only the best vantage point will work for this intrepid explorer.

Sorry for all the Cardinal posts lately. No, scratch that. I'm not sorry at all.

There's a touch of water in that slush to wade in, although it might be too cold for a casual stroll.

This #TalonTuesday, we have a sweet little Sharp-shinned Hawk who landed on top of our wood snag and sent all the little Sparrows and Juncos skittering to the bottom for refuge.

Derwent Water, Keswick, Cumbria (Dec 25) with Skiddaw in the background.
The wooden jetty was the one under water in my post yesterday.

The cold, snowy conditions bring less common visitors, too. This is such a pretty little sparrow.

Nothing draws visitors like an easy meal during adverse conditions. 😄 Here's a small sampling during a recent snow.

#TongueOutTuesday with Peaches! 🍑

Peaches is getting older, but is still such a fun bun.
She plays with me nearly daily even in the middle of winter!
She's my fave bun born in 2025 🥰
