In the Wild!

Green Iguana’s By now, I should be well used to seeing this lizard, native to Central and South America, some areas of the Caribbean and Mexico, which has so well adapted to South Florida; but he still makes me pause, whenever I see him lying out in the sun, on the seawall. While not necessarily…

A Frog Taking Refuge Behind the Flag   I opened the garage door, and found this little fellow taking refuge, behind the flag. I know it is silly, but looking at what I could see of his face, I quickly assigned the poor guy human emotions, deciding that he was frightened and shocked, and that…

Trampling Through the Snow     On a slightly solemn day I spotted these horses, and I could not help but pull over, to take a closer look, at these majestic animals, standing in a snow covered field.     They too seemed interested in a visit. Perhaps, they thought I might have a treat…

So High Above     Driving through the Grand Tetons, looking out at the Snake River, I spotted this nest, sitting on top of an electric pole. The romantic in me would like to believe that those are two little eaglets, waiting for mom to come home with supper.     But in truth, there…

A Bald Eagle! Photographed by Lois Robertshaw   “But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” ~ Isaiah 40:31 ~ This morning, our neighbors called to tell us, to look…

Bunny Rabbits at the Back Bay Fens       I so love pleasant surprises! Recently, while walking in the Back Bay Fens, part of the Emerald Necklace parks system that covers seven miles in Boston; my eyes were directed toward a small rustling noise, which to my delight was a small, brown bunny!  …

Alpacas Over our morning coffee, as we looked out, on our back yard, we pondered exactly how nice it would be to see alpacas roaming through the trees and maybe, going down to the river, for a drink of water. We actually contemplated what we would need to do, to give them a happy place…
