Escape From the Cold, and Why I Love Belize.
I am tired, a log day of traveling but I loved it and nothing like being in a foreign country to give you a fresh perspective on life. I planned this trip a few weeks ago, looking for something historic and also with a lot of natural beauty. I think I may have chosen the…
Winter at the Bird Feeder
Didn’t want to hike out through the snow again to watch the sunset so decided to spend a little time photographing some of the visitors to my bird feeder, since it looks like you enjoyed my last blog with photos of our feathered friends. Pretty much the same birds except a few finches and mourning…
Winter Sunset
I am glad I decided to trudge through the snow and watch the sunset today. They are all beautiful, and I never saw one I didn’t like, but this one was like a scene from Dr. Zhivago. We had an ice storm and the reflection of the sun off the ice coated trees was breath…

More ice and snow along the Lehigh River
We got some moderation in the temperature today, a balmy 22 degrees this morning, but there is still a deep snow cover out there. Decided to take advantage of the paths left by snowmobilers and hike in the Lehigh Gorge. Wasn’t bad walking and ran into a few cross country skiers and snowmobilers. Not much…
Birds in the backyard
I am lucky to have a backyard frequented by all sorts of critters. In the Summer I am visited by opossums, raccoons, fox, rabbits, groundhogs and even bear. In the Winter usually only the squirrels, deer and turkey visit everyday. I enjoy the deer the most. Unfortunately, I think because of the heavy snow topped…
