Away on Spring Break

Butterfly in tree blossoms

Spring break is here. I am taking the week off with my kids, but posting a couple of springtime pictures from my front yard. The trees haven’t leafed out yet. This one probably won’t as I think that it is dying and I need to replace it. But there was a little bird in the… Read More Away on Spring Break

Time Lapse of Bird Feeder

I have bird feeders around my house and the birds can really drain the thing quickly in the morning. I thought it would be fun to attempt a time-lapse movie of the birds emptying the bird feeder. I waited until the sun rose over my roof and shone onto the bird feeder for good light… Read More Time Lapse of Bird Feeder

Finally Got a Blue Jay

I haven’t had a lot of time this week to make a big blog for Wednesday, but I have a little something. Last night, I finally saw a Blue Jay at one of my bird feeders, he was in the late afternoon sunlight, and I managed to hide out with my 70-200mm lens and shoot… Read More Finally Got a Blue Jay

Birdhouse on Back Porch

Bird at bird house Texas

There is a little decorative birdhouse on my back porch with a Texas license plate for a roof. It is right next to my back door, so I walk right by it almost every day. A sparrow, I think, decided to make a nest in it. As I sat out there on Sunday afternoon watching… Read More Birdhouse on Back Porch

Birds and Bees

Male House Finch on a Bird Feeder in Leander Texas

A good size population of birds hangs out in my front yard so I put out a bird feeder. It didn’t take them long to jump all over the free birdseed and I have to replenish the feeder every day. The birds won’t go near the feeder if I am nearby, so I set up… Read More Birds and Bees

Cormorants on the Guadalupe

Cormorant Guadalupe River Gruene Texas

I spent some time in Gruene Texas (near New Braunfels) last weekend. Gruene is kind of a touristy place north of San Antonio with a wine and antique theme. It is also common to see tubers floating down the river, but I think it was still a bit cool for that in early March. I… Read More Cormorants on the Guadalupe

Chasing a Little Green Lizard

Close up of green lizard Texas backyard wildlife

I saw a little green lizard on my back patio, so I decided that I would try to catch him and get some close-ups of him with my extension tubes. I was careful not to hurt him and I didn’t want him to shed his tail like they sometimes do to get out of trouble.… Read More Chasing a Little Green Lizard
