Alan’s Potpourri of Photography

I can't believe he's still up there!!

Just found this on the Audubon site.
Range

Breeds locally from coastal Alaska, south-central Canada, and Nova Scotia south to Mexico and West Indies. Winters as far north as southern Alaska, central United States, and southern New England. Also in Galapagos Islands.

I was thinking the same thing. They normally migrate south in the early fall.

I was surprised when I spotted the first one and then when I saw the second about 100 yards further down the path I was really amazed. I don't know if they will leave now but they usually start to come back in March. Probably will not make it back to this lake for a couple of weeks. It's a long walk and with the snow (no shoveling there) and cold (single digits) I will most likely wuss out.

Not really sure as it seemed to small for a Red Tail and the color just was not right. It could however have been a juvenile.

A couple shots out the back window. Wind chill below zero. Wind has blown all the snow off the trees.

You up to a foot yet?

You up to a foot yet?

... Oh yes... I was past a foot a while back... It has eased up though so I suspect the accumulation is done!

While watering the plants today I noticed that some critters had started an invasion. So I got out my bottle of "Weapons of Mass Destruction" and have beaten back the invasion.

 

[piperbarb]

EEEUUUUOOOOO.... What are those invaders (besides being insects )?

Aphids. These plants were outside on the deck until late October. I think they must have hatched out recently.

Something to do on a cold winter day when going outside is just not appealing.

These photos are from a WW II weekend I attended about two years ago.

I really need to find something else to do today. Think I will go down to my workshop for awhile.

i am sure my housekeeper would have something to say about flying planes inside. collages are very well done, time well spent.

Very nice collages. What software did you use to produce them?

Thanks Don. I did them online using Pixlr.com Express. My daughter told me about it (she uses it for the class she teaches) and I figured today was a good day to play with it. It has a lot of features beside collages and the price is right. (free)

Thanks, glad you liked them. It was fun just looking back at some stuff I have not looked at for awhile.
