Tulips and more tulips! Spring Reveries show last airing tonight

Tonight at 7:30 on Channel 5 (for those who may live in my area - Avon, Farmington, Bristol, New Britain, Canton, Berlin, Plainville and nearby).  A delightful musical slideshow of tulips, spring birds and other delights enjoyed at this time of year. This is the last airing for Spring Reveries...another show comes next week.

My new "Natural Delights" TV show airing Tuesdays

Happy May day!  How glad I am to see the sunshine and tulips, though I won't be able to post any more "birds freezing in the snow" photos for a while. I'm so excited to be airing a musical slideshow every week on Channel 5, Nutmeg TV at 7:30PM featuring my nature photography. WE just started this series - a first for me. This week's show is entitled "Spring Reveries."  It will feature the tulips of Elizabeth park as well as many other spring delights. I'm also giving a short class this month entitled "The Art of Photography" at Farmington Continuing Education.

Happy Valentines Day...

Happy Valentines Day to all my friends.  To celebrate the occasion, here is a collage of tulips from Elizabeth Park I photographed & combined into a collage afterwards.  They are not actually flying (unless you consider the hearts are flying off the page!)

Digging out from all the Connecticut snow!!

Scowling ice covered Bluejay

 Alot of digging out of three feet of snow and snow piles as high as the houses, roofs caving in, "Snowaggedon" this month it's  been called by some.  A month where the CT songbirds are even more grateful than usual for a bite to eat.  Here are a few who stopped by the feeder yesterday to have a bite.  Surprisingly few "squabbles" except for a housefinch or two having a turf war over the best birdfeeder spot.

I'm so beautiful I can't stand it sometimes!

"Birds Who Came to Dinner" video shown today at library

If the snow's not too bad my very informal talk will be held at 2PM at the Farmington Main Library and video, "The Birds Who Came to Dinner" will be shown. Here's an 1-munte excerpt called Finches with Attitude.  I'lll also be sharing a little about how the lively bird photos in the exhibit were created. The  "Birds who came to Dinner" video features 12 different backyard birds including cardinals, snowbirds, carolina wrens, blue jays white-breasted sparrows and more!

Primroses Freezing in the Snow!

Not a bird or a plane but "Primroses Freezing in the Snow"! which is the title of this January photo.  At least in this arctic weather (minus 5 here today!) we can enjoy these colorful flowers.  As far as birds, none have ventured on my deck yet this morning!

New Video about my Snowbird friends

So entertaining was the interaction between these delightful birds that I decided to make a musical slideshow of their antics.Snowbird defends his territory
