One photo a day challenge: Day 86. Today was another great day to sit outside at home and watch the birds in the evening. Recently I noticed the arrival of Eastern Bluebirds to our yard. The Eastern Bluebirds have been checking out the Purple Martin house in our yard as they search for a nest site. The martin house usually ends up occupied by Tree Swallows, but some day I hope to… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 85. We took our dog, Colton, out for a walk along the trails near the Chemung River in Elmira, NY. I of course took my camera as well. I had dog walking duties for the first half of the walk. Colton was being a maniac. It seemed he may rip someone’s arm off yanking on his leash. The hope was I could reign him in until… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 84. Todays daily photo is brought to you by having running friends. I didn’t know if I would run today or not. I thought I probably would, but I had a Zoom meeting right when I got home from work. So if I ran I would be more inclined to just run something short right from home. I would not have thought to take my camera…. Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 83. Our cat Paisley has a tendency to have issues with her fur. She has long, thin, slender, delicate seeming fur and it always seems to cause her problems. Periodically she needs to have a trip to the veterinarians for a little trim. Paisley is generally a friendly cat. However, post hair cut she seems to be sulking a little. She is being extra needy. Paisley… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 81. Another beautiful day for bird watching at home. Warm temperatures. Bright sunlight. And Plenty of bird activity. I started off todays post work day birding with a walk around the yard. I wanted to see if there are any bird happenings that I couldn’t observe from the deck. Mourning doves were perched high in a tree. The titmice and black-capped chickadees flitted about the grape… Read More

One phot a day challenge: Day 80. Today was a perfect day for birding. The weather was great. The sun was out. And the birds were active. One of the reasons we chose to live where we do is the access to nature it provides. We have a nice yard with woodlands surrounding us. And we have trees distributed across the yard for birds to move through. We have multiple bird feeders… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 79. The first day of spring was a beautiful day. Got out for a nice run. Checked a lot of things off the to do list. I saw that today was supposed to be nice weather. I tried to plan and be prepared. Seemed like it would be a good day to try to photograph some of the early spring birds that have been showing up… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 78. Recently I have been able to work part time from home. In our office I have a standing desk converter. Being able to stand at work at my desk makes being in the office much more bearable. After a couple weeks worth of working from home with no standing desk was taking its toll on me. It is beginning to look like an at least… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 77. Comet is such a good dog…..for us. Comet is our long term foster dog through a local rescue. He really is a good boy. However, he has some behavioral challenges. Comet doesn’t get as much love on the socials or in photos because of the way we have to manage his behavior issues. He doesn’t really love most of our other dogs and cats. Even… Read More
