It was beautiful day! It was a little chilly, but the sun was shining and the sky was blue.
I didn't have very much pic time, because I attended a birthday party for my cousin, Virginia. She will be 90 years old tomorrow. She still lives by herself and even drives. She has more of a social life than I do! She's in a sewing group and church groups. We should all be so lucky to have a long, wonderful life! :0)
I captured this Hairy Woodpecker at my Mom's house, before we left for the party. He was taking a short break from eating sunflower seeds.
Thank you so much for your kind comments on yesterday's pic of Wuzzy and the Field Sparrow!!! :0)
Great shot and a great story! My Mom is 94 and while her short term memory is impaired, she is still painting and is in the moment while I am with her. She lived independantly until she was 91.
I love it! I've tried several times to get pictures of one of these. I have gotten a few, but always from a distance so they're not too good. I love bird pictures. "fav"
Yep, this is a fave Carolyn - the clarity and detail are stunning! So pleased Virginia is still living a busy, full life. Good on her - I love reading about people with that level of energy and love of life. Hope she had a great party.
I love the little splash of red. Your day sounds a lot nicer then mine. It's been overcast here for the last few days and we have had a decent amount of rain.
Carolyn this is an amazing capture... I adore woodpeckers and I have tried so hard to capture a shot of one... but I could never take a shot like this, its stunn ing and for me a fav ♥
Great shot. This guy is actually a Downy Woodpecker - smaller than the Hairy but very similarly marked. The Hairy's bill is longer than the Downy's relative to the individual bird's heads. Faved your pic
