The Queen Mary 2 gets underway late in the afternoon, just after our Mark Steyn group comes together for a taping of Mark’s regular show. Yesterday, we traveled from Quebec City overnight to Saguenay up the Fjord, which we totally missed. We did hear the ship moving, but it is remarkably stable. This morning we …

One-track iPhone Camera. Flickers and more Flickers
This afternoon, Hubby called me to the window to watch all the Northern Flickers in the yard. At one point, there were four of them, but I only managed to capture three. Here are some still shots. Please be aware that these were taken through a double-pane window from the second story bedroom. And a …

Our little fence-destroyer came by today.
I just happened to be outside with my phone camera, and our little Downy Woodpecker came around to have some suet. She very clearly demonstrated how the birds have eaten away the tops of all the vertical boards in our back fence. Caught in the act! Shortly thereafter, she came back to actually eat some …
It’s Flicker Friday
Our family of Northern Flickers was by today, and they do come around often. Below are some still photos and video which show them at their best in the yard. I never tire of taking their pictures. Glug, glug, glug, one of the adults taking a long drink at the birdbath. He sat there and …

Washington State Wildfires, waiting to happen
The video below is not the best, but I think you can see what I mean when I explain. (play video at 1/4 speed) On Tuesday, we drove down to Mount Rainier, and we drove through miles of National Forest. Literally everywhere we drove, the forest floor was littered with downed trees, fragments of trees, …

Whoa! What a Day for the Birds!
I am still having a hard time believing what just went down in my backyard. I took my book, my can of Coke, and my phone and sat in my chaise, and watched the birds. Boy, did they put on a show! I had a big flock of Bushtits, at least three Red-Breasted Nuthatches, three …
