Today I'm continuing with my series of posts of my going after taking photos of the Roseate Spoonbill Bird. Still no photo yet but will keep trying and will share photos from my trips out here.

Starting Tomatoes From Seed
If there's one part of the garden that's a must for me it is fresh tomatoes. The part that is challenging but very enjoyable to me is seed starting. With tomatoes you can find some very unique varieties if you buy the seed and start them yourself instead of buying at the store plus you … Continue reading Starting Tomatoes From Seed
A Trip Out To LA
Last summer (2022) my family went on a mission trip with our church to California. We were there to help with a vacation bible school at a church for kids in the neighborhood.

Harvesting Sunflowers (Again)
Not much is going on in the garden with this heat. I cut the last bit of my Mongolian Giant Sunflowers this weekend and stored the heads in a bin to dry then give the birds this winter (I'm ready for some cold weather!) I think the later heads were bigger the the earlier ones. … Continue reading Harvesting Sunflowers (Again)
Up Close Photography
A part of photography I enjoy seeing is an up close picture or macro shot. It takes a special kind of lens with a short focus distance to get macro pictures. For instance my wildlife lens does not have a short focus distance at all. Even though it is "zoomed in" it will be very … Continue reading Up Close Photography
