The sassy little Carolina Wren...

is certainly a bold brassy little bird!!!

Thought I'd throw in a Finch just for fun. haha

This little Wren is fearless and loves to fuss at everything and everyone!


Just thought you might enjoy a few backyard bird shots. Not much time for pics anymore:-(

Autumn Surprise

I was driving down the road and saw a lovely Autumn scene which even included geese.


When I zoomed in a little I was surprised to see something in the foreground that definitely wasn't a goose...and kind of resembled a swan.


Imagine my excitement when I zoomed in even further and discovered it was a rare black swan!

WOW...a black swan...now that's a photo opp if I ever saw one!!!


I learned something else quite interesting when it began to flap its wings...


Their wings are white underneath!!!


What an exciting thing to see on a routine drive home!!!


The contrast between the black and white feathers is really something to behold!



So glad I had my camera along for the drive home on that crisp Autumn day!!!
