This morning over breakfast, I looked out the glass door to the backyard, and spotted a couple of our chickadees taking advantage of the suet feeder. The one on the left is a Chestnut-backed Chickadee; the one on the right is a Black-capped Chickadee. I also managed to capture the one on the left fluttering …
Today, just as forecasted, we got our first snowfall of the winter. It's really early for our area, and so far the snow isn't very heavy. Of course, the first thing I did this morning was get out my trusty iPhone and go out in the backyard to get some pictures. This is the east …

We are also fortunate to have been able to travel to many other places in this Greatest Country on God's Green Earth. Starting in our own neighborhood of Western Washington. …
