Moth on Window Screen at My Cottage

I still use my Nikon SLR for photos like this. I couldn't have captured this moth on the screen in my bedroom with my iPhone. It's good to have more than one camera. 

Peony in the Rain at My Cottage

The rain let up for a minute or two and I ran out front and snapped a few quick photos of my peony buds that are opening slowly. I hope the week isn't as bad as they are predicting with rain every day. I no sooner get ahead with my grass cutting than I'm way behind again. Oh well, what can you do? At least it's not hot yet.

 

I Found A Broken Bird's Egg

I found this broken bird's egg on my early evening walk with Webster last night. I photographed it against the end papers of a book illustrated with feathers and eggs. I'm glad it wasn't a blue robin's egg. It was out in the middle of an open field with no trees nearby. How did it get there? Did a bigger bird rob the nest? Boo Hoo. Have a nice Easter. My Lens: Nikon 18-200 zoom with vibration reduction.

My Camera: Nikon D-40 digital SLR. 

Webster's Birthday 8 x 7 = 56 In People Years

Today is Webster the Wonder Dog's 8th Birthday. Isn't he handsome?

He got a whole baked sweet potato instead of a cake. He loves them. We just came back from a wonderful walk on the property. This is the trench I'm always blogging about. It handles the runoff nicely. The skunk cabbage is getting pretty tall.

It will fill out a lot more as time goes by. I even saw my first outdoor spider today. It was a quite mild with a high of about 75 degrees. I hope your day was equally nice. The grass is so much greener than it was this time last year. Water and warmth is all it took. It was fun taking my camera out on the early evening stroll. Enjoy your evening, Rosemary. Oops...I almost forgot to wish you a Happy April Fool's Day too.  My Camera is a Nikon D-40 with the Nikon 18-200 zoom lens with vibration reduction.
