Gosh, been a little busy as of late, so haven’t had the chance for an update. I am anxiously awaiting spring’s arrival, but unfortunately mother nature hates me and dumped 5 inches of snow on us last night. UGH! The deer are getting a little anxious about this too, I think. Food for them has been scarce since its been buried by the darn white stuff.
Migrating birds started coming back. A ton of red tail have made their way through…

..and the Common Grackles have been ravaging my bird feeder. Although a lot of people tend not to like grackles, I actually have a fondness for them that I can’t really explain.

And lastly, I found a nice little silverfish (Thysanura) that let me take its photo.
Silverfish are a wingless insect that get their name from the scale-like appearance on their body. They are one of the most primitive insect orders that date back some 300 million years.

…now if only I could tell if she thought it was good or not.

Josh and I brought home a new baby on Sat. She’s a 2mo. old German Shorthaired Pointer, who we’ve named Little Mayan Fraulein, or Maya for short (after where we went for our honeymoon).

I discovered the website (Doctor Bugs- Mark W. Moffett) of someone who is quite inspiring…wish I could go on some travels with him, and maybe get some photography tips. If you read through his website he says he learned how to do macro photography of insects by reading a book on how to photograph supermodels…interesting, huh?

These two aren’t the greatest pictures ever taken as far as quality…but to my credit they were taken from a car window in the sort of drive-by photography style. As an added perk, the snow buntings are a new life bird for me. They summer in the far Canadian arctic and winter in barren fields in the northern U.S.
