Man!  Trying to sneak up on these guys is tough!
Felt really lucky to capture what I did!

Went for a bit of a drive today in all the wind ...
and dust!  Oh man! All that soil blowing around!  :(



Watching the robins hunt for nightcrawlers is so much fun ...
they hop around, hop around, stop, turn their ear to the ground ...
and attack!!

Yeah!  The toys saw daylight today!

I can hardly wait for this thing to get wet!

Was trying to get some barn boards
together for a flatlay photo but ...
got sidetracked 

This guy was not shy!
Worked on the holes in this maple tree
fairly close beside me for a long time!

A little macro to start the day

Suzanne & I got out
on a 12+ mile bike ride today!   :)

Supper time feeding ...

I'm hoping they are not a bad sign.

April 12 ... Will's birthday photo shoot

This was less than impressive to wake
up to this morning!  :(  :(
Hence ...  my artwork :)
But ... had a wonderful time in
the school house in my old village
doing this little guy's 1 year photo shoot!  :) :)

April 11 ... Ben's birthday

Yippee!  Some birds at
our little homemade feeder today! :)

Well, Ben did agree to a little birthday photo shoot,
but this was the amount of enthusiasm he displayed until ...
a) he got threatened to cooperate or else (mom's orders), and
b) I told him he could have the remote for the shutter.  Then ...

This is what I got from him :)


Ben did get to take many, many selfies with my remote
after I'd set up the camera for him, but what he didn't know was that
I changed the settings partway through, and although he was pressing
the little remote and hamming it up for the camera, I was taking these myself!  :)

April 10 ... Day 100!! I Did It!

Day 100 of 2018 !!
Or Day 2645 for me!!

Not the cuteness of yesterday's Ravae hat
photo shoot, but couldn't resist the veranda filled
with sunshine and warmth at suppertime!
And ... got an unexpected quick visitor at the end! :) :)
