I am still going through photos on my camera card and came across these of a female Ruby Throated Hummingbird. Photos were taken on August 4th. She was sitting on a bush right outside my dining room window. I hope you enjoy her. She had stopped by the feeder for a drink and was taking a rest. Connie

Here is a slideshow to go with the Trumpeter Swan video. I took these photos before I started the video. You can see in the first photo the Canada Goose on their muskrat house as they are approaching.

Of all the photos I take of Bald Eagles, these few photos probably mean the most to me. Seeing a Bald Eagle sitting in a tree over the last remaining barn that belonged to my family for over a century is a cherished moment. This one is for you Grandpa! Photos taken from Roberts' Roost Country Guest House in Savanna, Illinois.

This afternoon's ride to Sabula before going to the grocery store yielded a few Bald Eagles, a Beaver, and finished off with a sunset at Spring Lake! Have a great evening! Connie

I finally got around to taking some photos off my camera. This one was taken back in mid October. It is one of my favorite barns maybe because it is also belongs to two of my favorite people Glen and Wilma Brunner.

I was just playing around with the video feature on my page, can't do this on my personal page. This is Mr. or Mrs. Ground Hog (not sure which). I guess it is still warm enough it has not decided to hibernate yet. Instead he hangs out at the bird feeders everyday. If he doesn't get into a hole somewhere soon he won't wake up for Ground Hog's Day! He will over sleep. Have a great weekend! Connie

I haven't been out recently for any new "Old Barn" photos. I really want some snow for that but I do have a few new sunset photos from February 10th at Miller's Landing north of Savanna. Connie

Just sharing an "Old Barn" from last winter! Connie

This barn has family ties also. It once belonged to Louie and Blanche Holy. Louie was related to me on the Roberts side, he would have been my grandpa's cousin and Blanche was Dennis' great aunt. It sits at the end of Roberts Rd. along Hwy 64.
