This blog is about my garden and the outdoors. I am new to photography but I am trying to show some of the pretty things that grow here in Michigan. I love the wild things who visit me and I dont mind if they eat a bit here and there. I like it more if they let me take their picture. As time goes on I think I will try to show you around the beautiful area that I live in as well as my garden. I try to use my own pictures as much as possible but will also use pictures from the web. If I inadvertently use your photo or work without permission please email me and I will remove it or give credit if you prefer. I will give credit when I know who the owner is. I would ask that anyone using my pictures do the same.

Killdeer.................

107_0073 This lovely lady allowed us to see her nest and eggs. She was a little upset at first but then decided we were not there to do any harm. So she stood and looked at us while I took her picture. Photobucket Here are her lovely eggs...........she is a proud mum, and dad was close by too. Its in a public park and so I am sure they are used to being interrupted. 107_0075 After she allowed us to admire her brood she got back on and snuggled down on them again. We didn't get any closer than she was comfortable with. So as soon as she saw we would not get near the eggs she went back to nesting happily. 107_0082 Isn't she lovely? I hope her 3 little chickies will have a long and healthy life.

Wow, those eggs are fantastic! My sister has Araucana chickens that lay green eggs. They are pretty too, but not as cool as those spotted ones. Great photos.
