Old Jack Frost

Photographing window frost is a challenge, and all of the pictures are unique. Rarely, however, can one catch an image of Jack Frost in the shot (notice image in upper right hand corner of the lower photo; upper photo shows the enlarged image).

Groundhog Day

This fellow has been hanging around the yard so long, we named him Buddy. He likes to chew on the deck supports, and we may be joining him, someday, on the ground.

Rotarian Urging Member Participation

Anita Ragona is shown here asking her fellow Rotarians to fully participate in a fund raising venture. Being Italian, she is unable to express herself without her hands--it's in the blood.

Carol Giannico finds the hand gestures compelling.

Dogs Confined Until Easter Sunday

I shot these dogs poking their heads out of an auto window. When I looked at the full photo, I saw a store sign reflection with the message Open Easter Sunday, in reverse, at the corner of the photo. By flipping the photo over, it appeared the message was that the dogs would leave their confinement Easter Morning. Could they both be Christians?

Turkey Vultures Like Squirrels

I saw this magnificent, if not handsome, bird enjoying a morsel of road kill, just down the street from our home. The Turkey Vulture, also known as the Turkey Buzzard, is found throughout most of the Americas. It ranges from southern Canada to the southernmost tip of South America, and has a wingspan as large as 6 feet (this one obviously did). It rarely feeds on anything but carrion. In flight, it uses thermals to glide through the air, and rarely has to flap its wings. Its "call" involves grunts and low hisses. It has very few predators, and receives legal protection under the Migratory Bird Treaty of 1918.

Doggon Deer In Suburbia

In some areas of Connecticut, the deer outnumber the people, and they seem to know it. If you think your ornamentals are attractive, the deer do too. Here is a prime example. Munch, munch, munch and there goes the roses.

Easter Lilly Dialogue

The Easter lilly is well known for its suspicious nature. They're always paraded out at weddings and funerals--and the poor lilly is never informed at which event it will be displayed. Its paranoia is understandable.
