CFFC: Found In Nature Almost all the pictures I take are of nature — or of Garry or me in a natural setting. I wish I had more “wild” animals — like bear or moose of something like that. Sadly, I… Read More ›

BEAUTIFUL NATURE
CFFC: Reminds you of natures beauty Talk about hard choices. I chose many, then whittled the selection down to six, at which point I stopped whittling. Hope you like them.
NATURE AT WORK
A Photo a Week Challenge: Nature at Work Water plants in the Blackstone River, a Bluebird, a Goldfinch, white Rhododendrons, and a waterfall. And finally, the super lunar eclipse last May.
EARTH DAY AND SHARING
SHARE YOUR WORLD & BE KIND TO EARTH! 4-26-2022 With all of the mess going on across the world, I still think trying to get our planet healthy — for us — should be our number one priority. It isn’t… Read More ›
SNOW – NATURALLY BLACK & WHITE
CBWC: Cold, Chilly, or Chili We had our last really big snow in 2018 when we — here in Worcester County — got just over three feet (a meter) of snow. Tonight we start another big snow event. Depending on… Read More ›
REMEMBER THE GREAT PUMPKINS!
PHOTOS BY GARRY ARMSTRONG For Fandango’s Flashback Friday Talk about time in a bottle, this was the best pumpkin patch ever. Hyannis in mid-October 2013. Did we buy pumpkins? Sure, of course. We bought two pretty big ones. Not the… Read More ›
ECOLOGY, HUMAN GREED, AND UPCOMING CATASTROPHES
I read an article today that argues that coal-burning generators are not doing all that much damage to the climate. This is the kind of argument that makes me gag. I’ll get back to this later. There is no serious… Read More ›
LAST ON THE CARD – JULY 2021
Last on the Card – July 2021 I thought I’d taken pictures yesterday, but apparently not. I had just left the cards in the camera assuming I’d take some more, later. So, all of these, on two different cameras, are from… Read More ›
GREY SQUIRREL, RED SQUIRREL
“What,” Garry asked, “Is the difference?” Describing the differences doesn’t sound like much. This is where pictures show the differences much better. He has a straighter, thicker tail. He doesn’t have a white ring around his eyes. He is also… Read More ›
MORE CHIPMUNKS
For a long time, I’ve had just one chipmunk on the deck, but recently, there have been two. My guess is that if there are two, there are probably a lot more. I just would appreciate that they not all… Read More ›
RETURN OF THE PILEATED WOODPECKER
Finally, the whole famdamily was in the living room when the big Pileated Woodpecker dropped by one of our dead trees. Garry had never seen him before, but the big bird stayed around for a while. He is really busy…. Read More ›
THE VERY FATTEST SQUIRREL
We escaped the snow that hit most of the rest of New England. We’re right on the edge of many storms. They pass us closely, just a few miles away. But when Hurricane Sandy devastated this area, the storm passed… Read More ›
MORE (B)IRDS WITH A “B” IN THE MIDDLE SORT OF
BIRD WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE: BIRDS WITH A “B” IN THEIR NAME Well, if the “B” doesn’t have to be the main B in the bird’s name, then I have a few more birds! Red-Bellied Woodpeckers and Rose-Breasted Nuthatches. I have… Read More ›
KINDA LIKE A VERY SMALL AND FURRY CREATURE
Kinda like a tiny little chipmunk As I was watching the coffee brew, I watched our “least Chipmunk” skittle up our deck and jump onto the feeder. As her little cheeks got stuffed with seeds, she would run off to… Read More ›
SHARING MY WORLD? PROBABLY NOT YOUR BEST CHOICE!
We are waiting on the appraiser to finalize this refinance which is pretty much set to go, minus the appraisal — which i think went pretty well. It takes about a week for an appraisal to come through and it’s… Read More ›
Standing Up for What is Just and Equitable | Your Great Outdoors – Reblog – By David J. O’Neill, President
This week marks my first week as President of Mass Audubon. I had planned to introduce myself to all of you by sharing my excitement and enthusiasm for what lies ahead. And I am extremely excited t… Source: Standing Up… Read More ›
AN ARRAY OF PAST FLOWERS – Marilyn Armstrong
FOTD – April 23 – Past Flowers It’s another grey, cold day. I’m not yearning for flowers as a dedicated gardener. I just long for color. It has been gray and often very dark gray almost all the time since… Read More ›
WILDLIFE IN THE WAY – Marilyn Armstrong
Despite all evidence to the contrary, I continue to hope that we will come to our senses and save our wild creatures. That being said, I have serious doubts that anything larger than a squirrel will survive in the wild. I… Read More ›
SPRING HAS SPRUNG, THE GRASS HAS RIZ – Marilyn Armstrong
BUT I KNOW WHERE THE FLOWERS IS … Today is the day. The very first day of Spring 2020. The technical beginning of spring, though having not had much of a winter, it’s been fairly springlike since last December. The… Read More ›
FLYING SQUIRRELS AND BIG FURRY RACCOONS – Marilyn Armstrong
We knew we’d gotten a lot of pictures last night because a lot of food went missing. About 4 pounds of food from the big feeder and maybe another two from the smaller one. We moved the camera from the… Read More ›
