Graham has entered his busy season at work, and the last two weeks have been really exhausting for him. I don’t generally encourage overwork, but I’m proud of him for hanging in there. He’s smart and talented at his job. But I know he’s tired. And so this week, I wanted to do something special for him, and feature some of the photos he’s taken lately of the birds we’ve been seeing this spring.
He’s a good photographer, and he’s always trying to get better, and I’m proud of him for that, too.
We see cardinals around the property all the time. They are the state bird of Virginia, so it’s not surprising, but they’re really lovely, and fun to watch.
This little guy hangs out on our power line almost every day. I wonder what he’s thinking about.
Just, you know, sitting down to lunch together.
I hope Graham has more time in the not too distant future to get outside and snap some pictures, and just to relax and do the things he likes to do, generally. But in the meantime, I’ll be here, cheering him on. And bragging on him a little. 😉

These are gorgeous! The cardinal looks like it is peering around the leaf. (I think it is a cardinal). 😊

Thank you! It is a cardinal. They’re really fun to watch, and often do “pose” for the camera. Smart birds, I think.

Hats off to Graham and to you. It is important to work hard, and important to take time to photograph birds (aka ‘smell the roses’). Enjoyed all these folks at their supper table in Mississippi tonight. 🙂

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the pictures! We’ve had some time to relax together this weekend, and it’s been so nice. Hoping the next couple of weeks aren’t quite as crazy for poor Graham as the last couple.

Thank you! We work at it every day, but I wouldn’t want to go through life with anyone else. Graham’s pretty much my favorite human. 🙂
