ready for my closeup

02.25.2008

I went back and forth on Coopers vs Sharpie with regard to my visitor, using the pointers thoughtfully provided by the Cornell Lab, Identifying Cooper’s and Sharp-shinned Hawks. I finally settled on it being an immature Sharpie, based on the yellow eye and the pale stripe above the eye. This picture, a little closer than [...]

spring is springing

02.25.2008

Incremental progress is still progress. Sunday was sunny, deceptively so when going out the door without a coat. However, indoors the sun was warm enough for Kinsey to leave her favorite sunny spot for a shaded one. I was able to spend some time out of the house, pretending it was warm and that there [...]

On many a morning recently, I’ve seen the mourning doves blithely perched on the deck rails as if the snow wasn’t there.

making tracks

02.16.2008

I’ve been making tracks, though not the ones in this photo. Thursday morning Mr Wren dropped me at the train station for a trip to Chicago. No sooner had I been issued my ticket than the announcement was made that the train was canceled, due to a derailment. (Excuses, always excuses!). Cell phone speed dial [...]
