with family in northern Michigan, visiting orchards and wineries and enjoying the spectacular show nature is putting on there. The colors of the trees are mesmerizing, I have never seen anything like it in person, and we had cloudy skies. But it is also nice to be back home. We are expecting our first signs of frost tonight, so I hope that more bird activity is upon us. Have a beautiful Sunday evening!
I wasn't trying to get fancy here. I was just wondering last night what my cell phone camera would make - if anything - of the moon winking, like a loose lightbulb, through the bare tree branches.
Since there wasn't enough light for a normal photo, the camera kicked into time-lapse mode and produced this image of falling snow.
The past few days up here have been cold enough to ice up the shoreline, however the temperature is expect to reach 40 today. The flurries come and go, with little accumulation.
on a much needed little break from the everyday and my computer and spent the weekend with family in the beautiful north of Michigan. There is an abundance of wildlife there, and lots of birds. I brought my cameras along but the birds there are not used to them and declined to check them out. So I decided to relax and listen. The Merlin app is a great little tool to explore your surroundings in regards to bird song. Here is my list from six minutes yesterday morning, my attempt to take a photo of the Chestnut-sided Warbler, one of the many Cedar Waxwings, and some of the unfeathered creatures. Here’s to a great Monday and week!
