The Grand Entrance TO Nowhere

This *Icicle Castle* was caused by a warm-up that ended rather rapidly due to a sudden shift in the winds from out of the south to out of the north. The ground at the top is on a slight downhill slant, causing the water to drizzle down the face of the wall. As we looked at it, Lisa said, ' Doesn't... Sign in to see full entry.

Food Fight!

This was a fun thing to watch but a difficult thing to photograph. The sun was very bright, but I finally managed to get a decent shot.

Communications In Our Home

Lisa tells you all the time that we have 'fun' together. I may have posted this before, as it is several months old, but it is still typical of our text conversations. Check it out! Sign in to see full entry.

Piebald Eagle Eating A Fish

While I am not 100% sure, I think this is the same piebald bird I posted a few days back. It has a fish in its claws and is enjoying its meal in a tree. Check it out! Sign in to see full entry.

Howling Eagles

While these birds are not really 'howling,' it sure looks like it. Eagles were scarce for several decades, so I had never witnessed this type of behavior. I spoke to one of the DNR (Department of Natural Resources) officers who knew why they were 'cawing' at the sky. He explained that this young... Sign in to see full entry.
