Reposting the Glover Gardens 2018 salute to Memorial Day.

A very expressive seagull at the Santa Monica pier deserves a caption.

I thought this picture was about the birds, until I saw the sky.

I’m back at work this week after almost 3 weeks off during the holidays, and the 50+ minute commute has held some amazing sights.

Magpies pose and inspired haiku with their tuxedo coloring and bright blue wings.

Social little birds flit about and fascinate near Dunnottar Castle in Aberdeenshire’s Stonehaven.

Looking at and listening to birds makes me feel calm and content, as though I’m on the front row observing a fluttering and dynamic ecosystem in fluid motion.

I’m a gull watcher. Aberdeen is a good place for it.

An Earth Day celebration of nature-filled Butler Shores Metropolitan Park along Ladybird Lake in Austin.

A humble little poem welcoming spring’s call.

Spring is breaking out early, and the birds are all over here at Glover Gardens. Check out the portraits of Mama Cardinal, and a haiku for #NaHaiWriMo.

A haiku for a happy mountain place that inspires me, restores peace and tranquility and fuels creativity.

waiting, listening,  little bird perched in the tree – what are you thinking? Copyright 2018, Glover Gardens

Brrrrr!  It’s hunker down time here in Southeast Texas where harsh Lady Winter (actually “Winter Storm Inga”) has found us and seems to be settling in for a good long visit. We had hail and snow and sub-freezing weather all day today, which is confusing […]

Is this little bird thinking what a great day it is to be a bird in the sunshine, in a sanctuary-like environment where the predators wear warning bells and the feeders are always full?

I met a couple of owls during a recent trip to Scotland.  Not on a walkabout in the verdant countryside – smack-dab in the middle of Edinburgh’s Royal Mile.
