As I’m typing the headline Ava exclaimed (with no picture displayed) – daddy why did you type “baby bird”.  She’s 4, when did she start reading?

Anyway, every year we have a few lost baby birds in our yard. They are usually Robins in the spring.  We don’t know what kind of bird this is.  Do you?

The setting sun really helped this photograph.

We had our first major snow fall of the year.

I thought I would catch Ava playing in the white stuff. But, by the time I was ready to go out, she was coming back in.  Of course, I waited too long to catch the fresh dramatic snow.  So, I knew I would have to do a little digging.

Shirley suggested the cone flowers in our side yard.  Not a bad suggestion. What do you think?
