Frost

My chauffeur (sweet Jacob) drove me to my chiropractor appointment, and he stopped for me at a nearby park so I could take photos.  Here is one of my favorites--detail from one of the frost-covered trees.  They were beautiful.


Thanks for visiting today!  :)

Saturday Sightings -- Like Flying Birds

I'm stuck on birds again this week.  :)

One morning last week, when I went out to grab the package that the UPS driver left at my front door, I noticed tiny bird prints all over the fresh snow blown onto our porch.


It's a little hard to tell from the photos, but there were so many prints, and right on my porch!  Those birds were brave.


Then, a day or so after that, I heard lots of melodious chirping right outside my back patio door.  I've learned that one must tiptoe or one will not see any birds.  These starlings (which is what I think they are) were happily chattering while they searched for seeds and other food.

Looking out my patio window

I oh-so-patiently and carefully opened the back door, but alas--the birds instantly took flight.  Still, it was fun to get a glimpse of our cheery visitors.


I leave you with an interesting verse about birds:

Like flying birds so the LORD of hosts will protect Jerusalem,
He will protect and deliver it;
He will pass over and rescue it.
Isaiah 31:5 nasb

Saturday Sightings -- Visitor in the Back Yard

While I was visiting my parents last Sunday, helping them prepare gifts for a couple of needy families, I spotted another visitor perched on the piping of the awning at my parents' back yard deck.


A mourning dove!  It was fluffing its feathers a bit, and when I tried to sneak onto the deck for a closer shot, it became edgy.  Praise the Lord for a telephoto lens!

It's nice to see a sign of outdoor life in this frigid December weather.

Saturday Sightings -- Winter Wonderland

I wanted to wait until this morning to take photos, since I knew it would be snowing all night.  Everyone slept in, so I enjoyed a cup of coffee and a small bowl of apple walnut oatmeal as I gazed out into our newly created winter wonderland.


Of course, while the oatmeal was simmering, I grabbed my camera and headed out into the yard, both front and back, to capture the snow-covered wonder.



Being a detail person, I had to snap a few of these from my front garden.  Enjoy!!

Saturday Sightings -- Brothers

I'm sorry I don't have "I spotted this while out..." photos!  I'm simply sharing from my collection.  I do have images on my camera that I need to download--maybe today if I can grab a few minutes while preparing for guests this evening!  Anyway, even though the below photo is from a photo session, they are my sons, and I feel that this photo embodies who they are as a twosome.



Joseph, the older brother (bottom left), is autistic.  Jacob has always had Joseph with him, and has become his guardian and protector.  They love each other.  Thanks for letting me share this today!

We have had fun taking care of a friend's pet this week.  Sweet Pea, a Boston terrier, is very smart and friendly.  We hope she has enjoyed her time with us this week!

Blessings to you,

Saturday Sightings -- "Spotted" Indoors



Please click on Mrs. M's button above to visit her blog,

I'm excited to join this meme (a day early!) this week.  A few days ago I purchased a 50mm f1.4 portrait lens for my Canon camera.  I've been prowling around snapping shots and getting used to shooting with it.  The bokeh is amazing!

I "spotted" this bowl of tomatoes on my counter.  Actually, I've walked by it and worked around it every day for a few weeks, and the tomatoes are starting to turn red.  Garden tomatoes in November!  Who would have thought??
