After a Week, the eggs have hatched

Thousands of tadpoles have hatched in just a week!

Along with the 1/4" tadpoles are 1.5" long slender blue dragonflies.The pond is amazing!

Another big green frog floats on the surface.
The branches create an abstract composition.I need to keep the image in my mind!

Saturday Photos at the Pond

We witnessed a cormorant swim, dive twice, then catch a fish (amazing) and swallow it.

He stretched his neck, the fish bulged in his throat. I am so glad I had my camera. I wish I had started shooting earlier. I didn't really know what the bird was until I zoomed in on my computer!

The cormorant's beak was distinctive.

And his wings.....

Mallard. So close.

Turtles on a log.

And an out of focus Green Heron. I thought it was a sandpiper until I looked closer. It is so hard to see what you have shot on the monitor, in the sun!

This is a new title for my page!!!

I thought it was time to rename the site... I no longer have two dogs. Just Charisma, my little companion in nature!
Lately, I have been taking  a lot of photos of things that interest me for future reference. Pehaps they will be paintings or another form of artwork.
I just don't know. I thought it would be good to keep tabs on many ideas and see where they take me.
Here's to a new journey!!!

Spring 2010

Everything is beginning to grow! Just love all of it!
The blossoms are so cool. Minature tails.

Spring 2010

There is something I really love about spring....
The Colors. So faint, at first, just a hint and the first ones I see are the Willows. A slight greening of the branches. More of a yellow, soft from a distance, you can just see it while driving on the highway.
My body feels it, a tiny bit of excitement, re-awakening from dreary winter. And then, in a week or two... S~P~R~I~N~G ! The world is coming back to life. Colors are everywhere. I am revived!

A Walk in the Woods, by Caryn Green

My friend Caryn Green wrote this article. It will bring a tear to your eye.
We recently reconnected. We were friends in High School, way back when!

Whisper needs surgery

A rambunctious 3 year old GoldenDoodle crashed into Whisper's thigh at the park. She has a torn ligament and will have to have it repaired. Expensive, OUCH.

The Dog Park with Snow

These are 2 other shots.  It was beautiful out and not too cold.   It was not too windy!  So we were out there for over an hour!    Dervish loves the snow.

Dervish is a great subject! And I am learning the new camera.
