Spring has slowly emerged in our Forest.  Tiny wildflowers, glowing tree seeds and new leaves have begun to appear.  Delicate brush strokes of color flowing from the forest floor up into the canopy.

Carolina Wren in the Thicket

Unlike many other birds I see the Carolina Wren often before I hear its call. Living among the lower branches and often perched on stumps this tiny being is always a lovely sight. They build their nest on branches 3-6 ft off the ground, in stumps and in tree holes. A thicket seems to be a perfect home for this little beauty.

Among the sleeping sentinels signs of spring have begun to emerge. Each step reveal newly arrived greenery, seeds, fungi and wildflowers.

Happy Trails

Avant Garde Night Sky

As mentioned in my previous blog posting when I rushed out to see the eclipse my tripod did not follow me. An unsteady camera with big lens pointed skyward and low aperture can create a serious of unusual effects. These are my favorite unexpected images.

Love to ALL!

Under the Blood Moon Eclipse

Blood Moon Lunar Eclipse

I am a child of the moon and have been lucky to witness many of her magical events. On this night however a serious of unfortunate events lead me to a mad scramble whose result was forgetting my tripod. I was thankful to get anything which resembled the moon. Tomorrow I will share the avanguard versions of my moon photography.

Love to ALL!
