Windows to Russia

I was crouched under a limb of a pine tree out in the fields this morning, Boza was rolling in the grass next to me and I was snapping images of swallows, snapping bugs out of the air. It was a ballet of life and death right in front of my eyes and with a […]

Last night was a full moon. Now here the sky is bright until very late and I tried out my camera; 1st picture no zoom, 2nd picture 63X zoom and last picture 126X zoom. Just wow is all I can say and it is like looking at the moon with a telescope as I use […]

What do you do with more cherries than even the birds can eat? Why, you eat them right along with the birds, that is what you do… Next year, I decided to start canning, but this year, I am just going to eat the cherries and allow the little monsters to eat all they can […]

Updated article on the Holy Spring near our village; In 2010 this was an article with a huge gallery of images. This is one of thousands of articles that was attacked and destroyed by the DOS/web attacks from DHS and TSA and several other governmental organizations. I went back today and took a bunch of […]

Now I know why the original horde of little birds had to move on. Mom and poppa birds are busy as little bees in our yard. Gives confirmation to the term, “The birds and the bees!” Those basic facts about sex that we use to?, maybe still use?, to pass on one version of the […]
