Welcome To The Exploration Photography Daily View

I was looking through Sunday's photos today and came across today's view. In fact it is what inspired me to shoot some of the "signs of Spring" that I have shared this week. I was filling the Cafe feeders and as I was heading toward the house from the back of our yard I saw this and just needed to shoot it. Don't know why really. I guess I just like feathers.

Welcome To The Sunday View

Today Kim and I caught up on a lot of yard projects that have kind of been put on the back burner over the Summer. Oh I have maintained everything pretty well but there are projects that need to be done. I am not kidding when I say that we have been working since 8 am this morning. But all of that hard work is paying off and things are looking good. There's still a ways to go but I can see it coming together.

While doing some leaf blowing today I came across what became the subject of today's photo. As many woodpeckers that I see every day I have never found a woodpecker feather. Well I found one today and now I am sharing it with you. This is from a Downy Woodpecker.

Welcome To The Daily View

I told you before that we get a wide variety of wildlife here at the New Cafe. Especially birds. We get lots of cardinals and bluejays and of course finches along with many others that I recognize. Today however I came across a feather that once belonged to a bird that I don't think I've seen. I say this because of it's colors. So if any of you know what bird this came from I would greatly appreciate it if you would let me know. Thanks!

September 11, 2014 - Photo Of The Day

Yesterday afternoon I went out into our front yard and was prepared to shoot a bunch of bird photos.Well as you probably know that didn't work out. I did get a lot of great squirrel pics though. Well today I went out again and his time I got some birds. I'd like to share one with you.

Not too bad for a handheld shot. What do you think?

This is at the top of our insanely tall arborvitaes. The birds seem to love it though.

Thanks for visiting and be sure to come back soon.

Until next time...
