I had the privilege of photographing this beautiful garden that was featured as the garden of the year in St. Louis Homes and Lifestyles magazine. Everything about this place is beautiful and relaxing. Thank you, John!

A few photos from the past week. The flowers are so beautiful this year. We've had a lot of rain and I think that helps. While sitting in the garden a butterfly landed on a flower right in front of me. It was so close the camera couldn't focus so I had to lean waaayyy back to capture it.

A few photos from the past week or so. I used to love posting photos for my sister who was not able to get out much. She loved seeing my photo of flowers and birds. Sadly she passed away a week ago and it just isn't the same. She made me realize that these are the kinds of things that bring simple joy to those who aren't able to get out and enjoy them. In her honor, I post these photos.

I recently went for a photographer night at the St Louis Aquarium at Union Station and had a great time. It was fun to meet other photographers and it was especially fun to be challenged with the lighting. Each habitat was different so settings had to change with each habitat and sometimes switch lenses. I like the results. What do you think? Did I meet the challenge?

Oona is getting so big! I expect her to fledge any day now. She ventures out onto the limb but quickly waddles back to the nest and hides her face if she sees me. I hope she gets over that!

Warning: Cuteness overload! Oona is getting so big so fast! It's so much fun watching her grow. Gaela is a good mommy. She only leaves the nest around dusk to hunt for food. My yard is a smorgasboard!

Oh, how I love my little bluebirds. They always make me smile! I made a quick trip to Lone Elk Park and it did not disappoint. I love my little roady trips.

Oh my goodness! Oona is growing so fast! The poor little thing is so ugly but still cute. Right now she kinda looks like a little gorilla baby.

There's always adventure in my backyard. While working in my yard I found this beauty watching me as I worked. This magnificent beauty didn't seem to be bothered by me at all. It seems to hoot when I walk out my door. It even hoots while I'm outside in the backyard. I think it needs a name. What do you think?

Oh, my goodness! What a fun afternoon! Lunch with friends and then a quick stop to see the Highland cows! I am in love with these cows! Thank you, Margaret for letting me spend a part of your day with you and your cows!

Sunday it was very cold, like really cold. I was on my way to church and that little voice told me to take my camera. Wow. I'm so glad I listened to that little voice. It was -7°f with a windchill of -27°f. I was bundled up but it was still really cold. The fog was amazing. The swans and geese were doing their best to stay warm. They were all hunkered down. Sunrise, fog, swans. Eagles should be moving in sometime this week. Can't wait!
