A Look Back At Some Mississippi Kite Posts

So far this week I've not had a chance to get out to take any photographs. This got me to thinking (Scary Thing)...

A Quick Round Of Backyard Birding

I'm off work today for Memorial Day. I looked out the backyard and saw a bird perched on my wheelbarrow in the garden. I quickly grabbed my camera and changed clothes.

As I waited I kept seeing butterflies and moths behind … Continue reading More Birds and Butterflies

The Target: Hummingbirds

I mentioned yesterday having a particular photograph I was looking to get. While I've setup near my garden taking pictures of birds and whatnot I'd see hummingbirds around my Zinnias but could never get a photo. This time I setup closer and tried to keep my camera ready and pointed towards the Zinnias (but as … Continue reading The Target: Hummingbirds

Birds, Bees, and Butterflies

I mentioned last week some outings I had watching birds in my backyard. I setup out there again next to the garden for a particular photo I was hoping for. As I waited I was treated by several other visitors. Hint: tomorrow's post will be the particular photo I was looking for!
