Trader Joe’s has some of the best surprises.  These little skull planters greeted H and me when we recently stopped by the store.  Their “hairdos” just crack me up.

It’s tough when you have to prepare your own birthday cake.

The trees are just beginning to shed their coats for the winter, so our driveway is full of pine needles, leaves, and various debris.  The concrete looks like an abstract palette of nature.

Mother Nature never disappoints me.

If I didn’t know better, I’d think there was some drama happening here.  Most likely, I knew I was in for a reprimand from Mom for being in the street.

Just another typical day at Target.

These bees caught my attention this weekend while H and I were exploring the Lost Corner Nature Preserve in Sandy Springs.  It reminds me of the airport as the planes line up, ready for take-off.

H and I are having our photo taken for the new church directory on Saturday.  I couldn’t help but revisit this classic from forty-six years ago.

I recently participated in a Raptor Photography Workshop at the Chattahoochee Nature Center.  Not only was I able to fine-tune techniques and skills, but I also learned about the habits and behavior of these magnificent birds.  We were able to photograph a barred owl, a red-shouldered hawk, and a broad-wing hawk, all of which are non-releasable because of injuries sustained before arriving at the center.

This turkey vulture is a non-releasable resident at the Chattahoochee Nature Center.  Vultures are not the most attractive birds (quite primeval in appearance), but I find them to be fascinating creatures.  I stop by to visit her each time I’m at the center.
