The name of this particular woodpecker cracks me up, because their bellies are barely red. In fact, Bird Watcher's Digest says it is, " named for its least obvious field mark, a faint blush of red

Okay, obviously this isn't really the moon...LOL! However, when I happened to wander outside three years ago today (no doubt I was taking either our cat or dog outside to do their business), I noticed

Back at some point in 2015 (I think), I started leaving occasional handfuls of seed, and end pieces of bread outside for the birds and squirrels. It didn't take long for crazy bird lady madness to set

The weather wasn't quite so dreary today, so combing through my archives from Januarys past wasn't quite so depressing... LOL! I took about a dozen different shots of this twilight sky, trying to capture

For today's Flashback photo, I went back to two and a half years ago today, when this Red-spotted Purple Butterfly (Limenitis Arthemis Astyanax) landed on our van roof, right after we parked in the driveway.

This flashback photo is from only a couple of months ago. Early November 2017 I put out a call on social media that a stray cat showed up at our doorstep, and we were searching for the owner. A short time

Today it's been mostly bright and sunny out, which is probably why, when I spotted this monotone photo from two years ago today, it didn't bother me as much as yesterday...LOL! And there's just something

While I've mostly been going back through my archives and finding pictures I've taken on that particular day, I was in the mood for something more colorful today. I'd actually been thinking about the Dahlia

My crows have been relatively scarce as of late. I said to a friend recently that it's almost like this property knows we're probably moving in the nearish future, so our connection is slowly de-connecting.

I actually slept in a bit this morning for a change - my brain let me stay vertical until almost 9am! Given how bright and sunny it was out, I'm imagining today's sunrise looked much like it does in this

After seeing all the Top 9 posts in my Instagram feed, I went looking for the app and created my own! I wasn't surprised to see the majority of my top posts came from the last part of the year, since I

Thanks to how I captioned other photos I snapped on December 30th, 2016, I happen to know the day before, we had a massive snow storm. It was that lovely kind of snow that was heavy, wet, and stuck to

This time last year, we had a ton of snow on the ground, and the temp dropped wicked low. Luckily, we'd recently gotten a set of doggie boots for our JackChi (Jack Russel/Chihuahua mix) Sandy to go along

I started to poke around a bit in my photo files from the past few Decembers, but all I could find (surprise, surprise) were pictures involving cold, snow, rain, snow, and general yuck. Then again, my

While the skies today were clear (but wicked cold), in this Flashback Foto from exactly two years ago they were anything but! And judging by how few photos I snapped that day, I'm guessing the weather

Funny thing - this morning, when I went outside to start hubby's work truck, I noticed how pretty the sunrise was, but didn't have the time (or the inclination, given it was 16F/-9C) to snap a shot. Then

While this year's full moon arrived almost on the winter solstice, three years ago today we had a Christmas full moon! This wickedly wonderful occurrence happened about two months before I got my spiffy

I'm going way, way back in the archives for this one. I can't believe it's been ten years since this I took this shot! I know it sounds cliche, but it's true - it seems like only yesterday our babies were

I don't recall what the temperature was two years ago today... okay, hang on a sec... I'm typing into Google... so, on Friday December 23rd 2016, it was sunny, with light winds, and temps in the low to

Funny that while we got snow early this year, we haven't had much since (although the cold hasn't let us forget it's winter, even before it became official yesterday). However on this day two years ago,
