Blue Moon plus one day

Do you remember the words from a song..." Blue Moon, I saw you standing alone..."

Here is my Blue Moon, plus one day.......  the reflection from the setting sun gave it a lovely pink tone.
As the light from the sun set faded, the moon became orange/gold......

Little Birds Should Wear Name Tags

This little one has been in one of the trees in the yard for a couple of days, given that he seems to be with a adult that looks like a common yellow warbler, I'm guessing that it may be one as well.....

However, there is no name tag..... who knows?    He/She is pretty cute anyway.

All Dressed Up Like A Painted Lady

 It is a favourite food of the Painted  Lady Butterfly

August Moon

Summer is quickly sliding by... we have had some lovely days, and clear sky at night.  The setting sun is sometimes upstaged by a rising moon.... here is an example.

Sharp Shinned Hawk

Most of May has been wet and cold.... not my favourite....  but  this is what one can find on a warm day in May.

I WANT SOMETHING SOFT AND FLUFFY IN MY NEST

Female Osprey does a lot of the work when building the nest.  She places most of the sticks, and like to make things comfortable.

The Weeping Willows know that Spring is here....

The Weeping Willows look different this week. They know that Spring is here, and soon those tiny yellow nodules will burst into vibrant green. They are not yet weeping...but there's a small glisten in their eye.
