Critters

Today’s post is primarily pictures. That’s because three remarkable things happened last week. First, I was able to walk on the Windsor Locks Canal. As I mentioned on Saturday, for the past 10-12 years, about half of the canal path has been closed in order to protect a nesting pair of bald eagles who have... Continue Reading →

Easter Monday

Please enjoy the gallery. I enjoyed taking the pictures and I had time to write the captions, but that’s it for today.

Do You See It? – #1LinerWeds

Our daughter Faith and I attended the Haddam Neck Fair on Sunday. If I hope to stay close to the theme of Linda’s weekly challenge, I need to seriously curtail my desire to explain everything that we saw, and everything we ate, and the one precious thing Faith discovered as we were leaving. The Haddam... Continue Reading →

For the Love of Bees – #WATWB

When I saw the article I am sharing today, I thought it was going to be about bees, and the problems facing bees – AND, I thought I knew something about this problem. After all, I’ve been reading about the problems/crisis facing bees for years. However, I did not know what a Solitary Bee was.... Continue Reading →

#ThursdayDoors – For the Birds

Last week, I took a walk round the block adjacent to the office park where I work. I shared the doors I noticed along the way. One of the houses on that walk has a large number of bird houses on the fence around their back yard. I thought I’d share those today, as a... Continue Reading →

Let There Be Dark – #WATWB

I don’t like to repeat elements of stories in the #WATWB posts, but I am returning to The Cathedral of Learning this month. As you know, if you follow this blog, the cathedral is the signature building on The University of Pittsburgh (Pitt) campus, and a symbol of the proud city in which it was... Continue Reading →

Pay Attention – #1LinerWeds

Walking Maddie has been a challenge this summer. The heat and humidity have not been supportive of physical activity. Of course, the other part of the challenge is not weather related, it’s related to the fact that Maddie is at the end of the leash. Maddie isn’t a social creature. She doesn’t like other dogs...

Get Off My Lawn – #WATWB

It’s spring, I think. I know the Equinox has occurred, and the days are officially longer than the nights, but spring weather is never guaranteed in early April in New England. The last few years, it hasn’t really felt like spring around here until late May. One sure sign of spring, however, is the presence... Continue Reading →

One-Liner Wednesday – Hello

You would think that I would have run out of cute squirrel pictures by now. You would think that no future squirrel pictures would be compelling enough to command one of the four blog spots I have each week. You would think these guys couldn’t get any bolder, more demanding and you would certainly think... Continue Reading →
