So, where have I been?

A kind commenter asked where I went. Has it really been three years since I used this platform? I'm still here. I still marvel at the beauty of my little corner of Jefferson County, New York. I still try to capture that beauty with my camera. These days, though, the pictures live on my Facebook page, where I reach a wider audience. Where else have I been? Training at Sunset Tae Kwon Do. This crazy middle aged broad is now a Black Belt! Who could have imagined that? I have a few things to say about this adventure, and I will write about them soon. On this beautiful day, however, I am going to go out and putter in my weedy garden. See you soon! ~~ miniature rose ~~

A Study in Blue

To be able to watch a bluebird family grow and thrive on our property is a priceless gift!

Another walk in the woods

A Study in Scarlet

A Scarlet Tanager is studied, banded, and released at the Prince Edward Point Bird Observatory.

Joy, unexpected

The trail beckoned us

To revel in the crimson and gold

And to bid the geese good luck as they prepare for their journey

Little did we know that there would still be monarchs

And painted ladies

Sharing their beauty as well.

Going out in a blaze of colour

Peeping frog!

Hyla versicolor does not approve of the state of my windows.

Wild geese that fly ...

With a rainbow on their wings ... These are a few of my favourite things!

Have I mentioned that I love butterflies?

Neither words nor photos can do justice to the amazing air show that takes place out on our back forty these days.

My favorite weeds

The weeds and wildflowers are thriving at Casa di Rosa this summer. Anything I've planted .. meh, not so much!
