Winter makes Spring especially beautiful, one of the reasons I love where I love. I would like to be warm, just like many other people, but this is the right thing for me.

Without Winter, Spring would not be nearly as magical for Maria and me. I understand that people love warmth, but it’s not for us.

 

Maria: Greeting her flock,, which is always beautiful to see.

Using my new wildlife lens, my first bird photo after the feeders came down is of a Red Wings Blackbird sitting on the fence. I tried using a Tripod, but it didn’t work.

Bud in the yard, watching me in the pasture. When his ears go up, he’s onto something.

The Peaceable Kingdom, nibbling on grass.

Zinnia loves the brook and is a faithful retriever. The water is always warm for her, even in winter.

She was leading the flock out to grass in the North pasture.

 

Zip keeps me company while I take pictures.

Fate is worn out from chasing sheep but not herding them. She is complex and different, like her human.
