Okay, so it was spring. For like a minute…

And then the snow returned…

Doing my best to get a good shot of the cardinal who greets me every morning. He’s wary of me though. Any time I pick up the camera and move toward the window, he’s gone. (I hear his chirp outside my window right now!)

Had to zoom in on the tree for this one, so the resolution is not great.

Need a high-end camera!

 

 

Finch dive-bombing the feeder outside my office window…

 

 

Just having some fun here… This is the field next to my house. To my surprise, I really enjoy flying a kite. A bought it over the summer on a trip to Cape Cod — a $12.99 investment that continues to pay dividends. Flying a kite reminds me of fishing — there’s thrill of the unknown… What will be on the end of the line? Will I be able to keep this kite from being eaten by a tree?

I actually get anxious when the kite gets really high… is it too high? There’s a metaphor there for life, I suppose…

But it is a simple, clean rush…

 

 

 

Finally — these things don’t fly… but an update on Limpy the fox who lives across the road under my neighbor’s barn. Limpy’s got a wife and they have three little pups! I will try to get pictures because the babies are sooo cute (they even wag their tails like little puppies). Will do my best to get a photo or movie, but I am not sure how close I can get…
