Let's start with one for Nan who collects red barns


A mystery picture for you. Can you identify this object?


American Goldfinch and Pine Siskin

Hemlock backed by sunset sky


These holes were made by a woodpecker called the Yellow-bellied Sapsucker. All but one are from at least last summer if not older. I did not notice the newer one, lower and to the right, until I was looking at this photo on the computer. So even though I may only see a sapsucker once or twice a year I know there was at least one in the area not too long ago.


Wishing you blue skies
(Love ya Nan!)

  3. The "mystery picture" is a spring from the remains of a fold-out sleeper sofa...with a coating of frost on top.

  5. I was gonna go with "box spring".

    Very nice set. I like them all.

    I had a sapsucker on the photo shoot for my sunday six. And I have six lousy photos to prove it.
