  Blue Jays in my Orchid Garden     It was my Aunt Helen who first made me aware of blue jays.  After my Uncle Paul had a stroke, and was left with limited mobility, she began to put peanuts under the awnings, of their home in Florida, for the blue jays to harvest...

Bromeliads in Bloom! I know, it looks like an ordinary plant. But when burst forward . . . oh my! This is why we keep bromeliads. Such striking color! All they require is water in their crowns, truly. A favorite in my garden and home.

An Exacting Price   I started my day with a walk around the woods, after a light dusting of snow; I photographed animal tracks and guessed that we had been visited by deer, squirrels, raccoons, and perhaps a few bunnies, but I am merely guessing.  I stopped at Joan Hayden’s table and benches, and...

Our Turkeys Viewing them from the Florida Room I love nature, and In the Wild! is one of my favorite columns to publish.  Thus, I am rather diligent about my stock pile of photographs, which capture the joy I feel when I interact with the animal kingdom.  The last few years, I have managed...
