He’s Back

Our dragon-fly is coming back every day now. It’s interesting to watch him and Steve feels as if he was communicating with him. Steve would move his eyes and the dragon-fly would move his. Steve would move his head and the dragon-fly did the same. Katy came over and the dragon-fly landed on her finger […]

A Visitor To The Pool

Steve made friends with a dragon-fly at the pool. The dragon-fly came around several times and would landed on Steve’s finger each time. Steve felt as if they were communicating. It was interesting to watch and to see how long it stayed.

Wandering the Neighborhood

Several people have seen this fox in our neighborhood. It was spotted by Rick and Dee while they were out walking. I saw it the other morning in our cul-de-sac. He looks as if he needs food, just hoping he doesn’t attack anyone or our dogs.  

Itsy Bitsy Spider

Sedum Fetthenne & Butterfly

Hummingbird or Wasp Feeder?

The Hummingbird feeder in the front yard has been there since Spring and has recently started attracting hummingbirds. The little birds would come to the water fountain next to it but they would not eat from the feeder. I don’t know what had changed but then we noticed wasp were also feeding. these are pictures […]

Letchworth State Park, renowned as the “Grand Canyon of the East,” is one of the most scenically magnificent areas in the eastern U.S. The Genesee River roars through the gorge over three major waterfalls between cliffs–as high as 600 feet in some places–surrounded by lush forests. The Upper Falls, also called Vale of the Three […]

Grasses in the backyard

The grasses in the backyard blow in the wind all winter and are so pretty. On this day a light snow fell which made the blades bend. ““““““““““““““““““““
