My readers will know that I am a retired industrial buyer. I am still in touch with my colleagues in the Institute For Supply Management, and receive various publications. I also watch for supply-chain stories in the business media, and there is a whopper in the Wall Street Journal this week. The story is about …

Still more of our avian friends, visiting our yard for the excellent seeds and suet. This is our Song-sparrow. See how puffed-up he is, against the cold. He likes to hog the seed feeder-sometimes he will just sit there for long minutes. This is the female of our pair of Varied Thrushes. Her chest-stripe is …
We have a few squirrels who frequent our yard, using the high fence as their highway to get around all the yards. One of them showed up this afternoon, and gave us all sorts of fun antics to laugh at. Here he is on the fence, obviously trying to decide what kind of mischief to …

It helps to have a great camera at the ready, when watching out the back sliding glass door. Our yard was a very busy place today, with many little creatures visiting. We actually had two squirrels at opposite sides of the yard. He sat nice and still so I could take his picture. At the …
These pictures are a perfect demonstration of how wonderful it is to have a camera with you wherever you go, just to capture spur-of-the moment images. Yesterday, I took my husband to the ambulatory surgery center, to have a minor procedure, and I had three hours to kill while I waited for him to be …
