Bird Gallery #5

Wow! This is now my 5th and last bird gallery – but not my last bird portrait. Beginning in January 2022 I began creating monthly posts that contain bird and butterfly portraits. They are shown at the bottom of each webpage.

I have over 7,000 bird portraits of 150 species which includes; bluebird, cardinal, woodpeckers, goldfinch, hummingbird, blue jay, owl, warblers of all kind, wrens, titmouse, thrush, mockingbird, phoebe, tanager, oriole, fly catchers, birds of prey, and many others.

If you haven’t seen my other bird “galleries” they are listed on the menu at the top of the website.

I’m no longer offering prints for sale. If you’d like to a high resolution image for your personal or business use, please contact me. It’s very affordable.

I’m also available for workshops and presentations.

If you’ve enjoyed reading our posts and viewing thousands of images would you consider a small donation to help keep our site up and running?  Thanks for your consideration.

I'd love to hear from you.

100 Years of Hurricane Data

After the recent devastation caused by hurricane Helene I started looking at some raw data on the NOAA website. I decided to download 100 years of data, put into a spreadsheet, then extrapolate the information. What I found was very interesting so I thought I'd share some of that data with you.

Standing alone

Kathleen and I walk early in the morning. Since school started we've been walking past high schoolers waiting for their bus. In one of the small groups standing at a corner we noticed five girls. One standing by herself and a group of the other four.

Flawless

A favorite song of mine is Flawless by MercyMe. I'll share the lyrics below. I always enjoy seeing a newly emerged butterfly from its cocoon. In essence they are "flawless." Not a mark on them. Such was the case today as I saw this tiger swallowtail blow through our garden.
