Howdee all~

New River Birding and Nature Festival

High Country..a full day trip to High heaven...

The search for Bobolink

There you are…silly little mechanical bird.. …Isn't it cute..

Check out this cool Video by Lang Elliot …

I love the song of the Bobolink

Flowers delicate and white…..

We walk a country road…and look around the ruins of an old home…for birds..

I love the rusted gate…

Beautiful Pastoral landscape….

I try to imagine what this property must have looked like in its prime….though,I find beauty in its decay..

The skies look ominous…

A handsome frog found while having lunch..

I think someone said this is a Leopard Frog..

Flowers of the High Country..

Trillium

May apple
