Here's Looking at You

I was sitting on the porch this morning and I was watching all the birds. This one was just sitting under a bush and kept staring at me with those big bird eyes. I was lucky enough to get this picture.

A Fiery Sunset

Tonight I noticed the sky changing color so I grabbed my camera and headed outside. As I watched the sky transform and the sunset I kept taking pictures. This is the one I liked the most.

Red Heart Shaped Leaf

I snapped this picture of a fallen Fall leaf. I love the color, shape and shadow of this leaf. A very simple picture with a big impact.

Sialia currucoides

I think this is also a Mountain Bluebird but I am not sure. This one was in a tree on the property - I just love all the birds that are hanging around the house.

The Stick People

Today I was in Albuquerque with friends. We stopped by the Bosque School to see the stick people. This is an art project by Patrick Dougherty. He uses tree saplings to construct sculptures - it was an amazing display.

Mountain Bluebird

I was at the Randall Davey Audubon Center today and there were tons of birds. I got this picture of this beautiful bird. I think it is a Mountain Bluebird but I am not sure.

A Bird's Nest

This bird's nest is in our Rose of Sharon bush. I am just amazed at the construction and the way that the whole thing stays together through al the rain, snow and wind.
