Yesterday was such a nice day that I decided to take a drive over to the John James Audubon Center at Mill Grove to have a walk around. And today I would like to share a handful of shots that I got, plus a couple videos. There's still more to go over but for now here is what I have. The squirrel in the first few photos was very friendly. He actually ran up to me and seemed to pose for the camera.
Until next time...
Today's view defines the weather we have had for the past several days. This little guy was just trying to cool off from the 90°F + temperatures.
Until next time...
For today's view here is another couple shots from yesterday at the Cafe.
Until next time...

I did a lot of shooting at the Cafe today and captured a lot of pictures of our guests. And what a variety we saw. But for today's view I would like to share just two visitors. And they both happen to be squirrels. I have learned that squirrels like black oil sunflower seeds a lot more than they like peanuts. I guess that's good because the seeds are a lot better for them.
I would also like to share a video. I shot this yesterday with my GoPro. It's a quick thunderstorm that rolled through in the evening. For the first minute and a half or so you can hear the birds singing but as the thunder gets louder and the rain gets harder they fly away to take cover. And at the end they come back and start singing again. This video can be viewed up to 4K quality.
That's all for today. Thanks for stopping by!

It seems that no matter where I go I find a squirrel. Or perhaps they find me? And Longwood Gardens is no exception. I was on my way back to the main entrance to head home and I looked up and saw this guy looking down. I didn't have anything to feed him but I don't think I would be allowed to anyway. Not in the gardens. So I took a few pictures of him and would like to share one of them with you. As an aside I only had a 50mm lens on my camera that day. I just got it at Christmas and wanted to use it for photographing flowers. I must say I am very pleased with the results. Though it's not as good for shots like this one. I don't think it turned out too bad though considering.
That's all for today. Thanks for stopping by!

Today we take a look at the same squirrel from yesterdays view as she was coming down out of the tree. I often see squirrels squirrels flatten themselves up against the tree trunk. I guess it's their way of staying safe as they look around for other animals and possibly hawks. Or maybe they're just playing.
That's all for today. Thanks for stopping by!

What a difference a day makes. Okay I guess it's really a couple days but today sure is nice. The sun is shining and it's in the 60's. All of the ice and most of the snow from Saturday has melted and it feels a lot like Spring. I even planted some tulip bulbs this afternoon. Let's hope they do well. And of course while in the garden I had my camera nearby to grab a shot or two since our wildlife is very active. And for today's view I would like to share this squirrel. I put peanuts out and she quickly grabbed one to snack on.
That's all for today. Thanks for stopping by!
Until next time...
