Hobbyist nature picture-taker in the mid-Atlantic, USA trying desperately to keep my tiny spot in the online world positive.
All images I post are mine unless otherwise stated.
If they bring you a smile, a laugh, or some bit of joy, then I've succeeded.

To celebrate the start of #ArtAdventCalendar here's my watercolour of the pesky Wood Pigeon who keeps eating all the bird food! That guilty expression and full cheeks says it all! 🪶☺️

Happy December everyone 🕊️👋

Looking across the Solway Firth yesterday afternoon towards Criffel Hill.
The tide is out, it looks as if you could walk across to Scotland

For once I knew she was there before she knew I was, and even then, I'm not sure she saw me well enough to puzzle out what was standing there. Their eyesight is not as good as ours during daylight.

A White-breasted Nuthatch in what I suspect is their normal, upright position;
a Carolina Chickadee showing off its leg strength;
a Downy Woodpecker showing it can hang with the Chickadees;
and a Northern Parula defying gravity. All just #HangingAround. 🪶

American Red squirrel (Tamiasciurus hudsonicus). It was enjoying the sun and happily posed for me in a Fir tree.
