I cropped this image down a bit to get closer to the bird. I’m happy with the new camera’s picture quality even when zoomed in like this much.

While I typically see the swan nesting at the Public Garden I’ve yet to ever see any babies. 

Loved how the light was shining through the yellow petals.

Yesterday, the sun finally came out later in the day and the temps rose to about 60 degrees. A nice addition to Mother’s Day. This week looks like…

I think this is the sixth cloudy/rainy day in a row. The temps have been in the mid 40s/low 50s. We may see the sun on Monday and…

Still waiting for Spring to arrive.

There was a chilly breeze the last time I was taking photos of the swans. I love how the wind ruffled the feathers.

This turkey has it made as far as food. She has discovered the bird feeder at my parent’s house. She doesn’t seem to concerned about coming right up…

I’ll start with the bad news. It seems the turtles won and there are no babies in the Cordage Park pond. Even the parent swans are gone. Very…

A flower at Mom and Dad’s house. Such a pretty color.

Besides swans there were also lots of ducks to photograph.

While it looked like he may have been napping he was still keeping a watchful eye out for predators. Well, ones that weren’t turtles as they can be…

This was the third set of swans nesting that I saw on Monday. The first two sets, from the past two posts, were over at Cordage Park. This…

This set of swans was across the street from the pair I showed yesterday. This one built her nest right up against a fence that is only about…

I took the first photo with my wider lens to show the swan and the landscape. The second photo I took with my telephoto lens and focused on…

On my walk from Back Bay there is one magnolia tree that is in full bloom. I’m sure many more will be blooming soon. 

This squirrel thought he was pretty lucky to catch this apple. However, it was so big he kept dropping it. At one point he ran off so I…

Mom and Dad have a crocus who just couldn’t wait for Spring to arrive.

Looks like this little fella still has a stash of nuts.

Not sure what these are called but they were all over the ground when I did my walk up Comm. Ave. I thought they had a lot of…

Looks like it was the squirrel’s turn to take a ride on the tractor. He was filling up last weekend for the storm we had on Monday.

Somehow Maya has me in a routine where I get up around 4am and give her food. Then we go back to bed. It works well for her…

Who knew I’d be spending so much money on bird suet and seeds. When I lived in South Weymouth they wouldn’t allow us to put out bird feeders…

I was surprised to catch this squirrel at the neighbor’s feeder. I hardly ever see the squirrels in the yard. I’m assuming with their two dogs and my…

Work has been crazy busy and the cold weather has left me uninspired. I have not been out for a photowalk in months. So, I had to dig…

Mom’s amaryllis is out of control! You could literally sit and watch the thing grow throughout the day (which is why it needs the yardstick to keep it…

I love the look of the woodpecker. I don’t always love the sound they make!

If today wasn’t a holiday for Martin Luther King Jr. then I think it would have been a snow day. On the news they were saying only 1-3…

I didn’t have anything for a photo today so I knew I’d need to find something to shoot on my walk to work. I pass by this tree…

Last night we had a burst of snow. The snow was coming down fast and the flakes were huge! It looked so much more magical than my photos….

Christmas morning on my way to Mom and Dad’s I had to pull over and take a picture of all these turkeys. I also grabbed a quick video….

Hard to believe Christmas is only 3 weeks away. It’s always so hectic and busy at work that I don’t feel as if I really get to enjoy…

Hopefully, these pretty flowers will still be standing after the heavy rain we are having today. 

On Saturday, instead of going for a jog I took a walk around the neighborhood with the camera. There have been a lot of acorns falling in the…

Fall is here. As with every year it always seems like Summer ends faster than other seasons. But Fall is beautiful and hopefully I will get in some…
