It’s been a busy time of the year and I have not had the chance to take the camera out, let alone take pictures. A nice sunny Sunday finally forced me to get off my chair, put on the hiking shoes, and take some pictures. Images from Huntley Meadows in suburban Alexandria. Autumn has come.

Dark colors, bland rocks, a river and two birds
Somehow, an eagle with a fish, being chased by another eagle, makes dull colors really interesting. Or not. These two juvenile bald eagles seem unaware of the bland coloration around them. There are (a lot of) fish in the water, meals to eat. Action. Lots of it. In bursts. Sometimes, you can wait for hours… Continue reading Dark colors, bland rocks, a river and two birds
Hummingbirds!
Recent images of Ruby-Throated Hummingbirds taken at Meadowlark Botanical Gardens in Vienna, Virginia. A great place for quiet contemplative walks, bird watching and reconnecting with yourself. Flowers and plants galore. A short drive from Tysons Corner, Virginia and Wolf Trap Farm Park.
