Call Me Cheap

Folks that follow this blog probably wonder what happened. Where did the fences, birds and skies go? How about all the closeups? It is simple. The free space is all gone on this site. I am too cheap to pay for blogging.

Two other WordPress photo sites have been started to use for photos. birdbrain2015 will cover more of the general photos for the photo memes. Sights at 60 covers our travels around North America. A third site on Google’s blogger, I Got Nothing, is for haiku and other writing.

Thanks for stopping by to see what’s happening. Hope you will connect to the two new sites.

Peace,

Monday Up Close

Thought I would share a few more photos from our summer trip. These were taken in a small roadside area that is maintained by individuals it appeared. The park was near Door County, Wisconsin. Hope this brings some sunshine to another Monday.

Good Fences #85

2015 has been a year of trips both long and short. Thought I would share a few fences from a September trip to Missouri and Oklahoma. These particular scenes are from south of Lawton, Oklahoma in a rich soil farming and ranching area.

The sight of the truck stirring up a cloud of dust took me back to the country roads of my youth.

Be sure to take time to drop on over to the Run ‘A” Round Ranch Report for this week’s fences.

Wild Bird Wednesday 171

Nothing too exotic just some birds in my neighborhood.

Killdeer feeding at a nearby pond.

I moved too close.

A small park had a variety of feathered visitors, too.

A couple of Jays dominated the area

Monday Close Up

Been quite a while since I have participated in the macro photo meme. I look forward to seeing all the beauty on the Monday meme.

Just a few captures while sitting on my patio.

May each visitor enjoy visiting this little piece of my life.

Migrations and Skies

I am so very new to all things birds. I did not know that hawks migrated till recently. Sitting on the patio I looked up to see streams of larger birds swirling southward. They were almost out of camera shot by the time I came back outside. One should always be wearing a camera. Well, no really good closeups but still. It was an amazing sight, just would that these were clearer to share with all you folks. Today’s skies were too rain filled, four inches in only a couple of hours, to attempt to shoot photos.
