Rockefeller Center Tree

They're lighting the tree in New York tonight. Wish I was there!

Got the tree up

Sharp-shinned Hawk

I walked out the front door yesterday to see if I could spot the waxing crescent moon and Venus and instead spotted this Sharp-shinned Hawk flying away from my neighbor's yard. I grabbed my camera, ran back outside, and found the hawk in the neighbor's tree. The sun was setting so I wasn't able to get a clear picture but was still happy with the two I was able to snap before it flew away.

Flavors of Thanksgiving

Hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving filled with good food, family, and friends.

Squirrels like mayo

This squirrel was across the street chewing on what looked like a piece of paper for about 10 minutes. I snapped a few pictures through the window with the camera at max zoom so the quality isn't great. You can see, however, that the paper is actually a mayo packet. If only the squirrel would come across the street it could enjoy nuts, seeds, and fruit instead of just mayo.

Teddy enjoys a fall day

Yesterday was a perfect fall day -- crisp air and sunny blue skies -- so Teddy and I spent the day working in the yard. Well, I worked while Teddy napped in the sun or barked at people walking down the street.

Zoo Atlanta's Baby Po

Hungry Downy Woodpecker

I must have walked outside to throw some stale bread out for the birds just as this Downy was getting ready to fly down to the feeder. It let me know I was interrupting its afternoon snack.

Danger lurking

This picture doesn't do it justice, but the fog was beautiful Monday morning.

Big Buck

Spotted this Big Buck on our lunchtime walk around the office today.

Fall reflections

Bird bush

I was going to clear out the dead Lantana this weekend but after watching the birds eating and hiding in the flowers yesterday, I think I'll leave them for a while longer. It looks like I'm growing a bird bush.

Can you see the Seahorse?
