A Few Scenes; A Few Memories


The large birds clustered in the trees are vultures. They aren't glamorous birds but they seem to be social with each other.

The noble woodpecker is a red-bellied woodpecker. 

Both ducks and geese like to gather around an open pool in the ice. Here we see mallard ducks. 

Charlie the Squirrel is hanging around the bird feeders.


Memories

I read today that fellow blogger Abraham Wesley Lincoln passed away yesterday at the age of 86. The last post I saw from him was an update on Facebook in which he lamented the death of his beloved wife. Abe was a wonderful photographer and artist.

On a happier note, today is my older brother's birthday. Here are a couple of photos of him as a baby, taken before I was born. Happy birthday, Rick!
