Skittish

This skittish, yet curious, young squirrel made me laugh as

it scurried from limb to limb. Each time it moved it would

look over at me as if to say, "Are you still watching?" :)

I derive so much enjoyment from watching nature!

White Frosting

A little sugar for the eyes!

The Red Shoes

Red glittered dancing shoes for my granddaughter. :)

Eat your heart out, Dorothy!

Wild Turkeys

Native to North America, Wild Turkey flocks are abundant in Iowa.

It was once being considered to be named our national bird

rather than the Bald Eagle.

Nature's Fireworks

Old Glory shines behind trees laden with sparkling hoar frost.

Blue was born in late spring and up until early December was skittish and untouchable. Now it's a whole new ballgame! He loves being petted and is always the first at the door when I open it to feed him and two of his siblings, Jumper and Miss Kitty. He has the most incredible blue eyes, hence my name for him.
