Posts from — March 2008

March proved to be even more challenging than February. Fortunately, the worst is over and it’s on to Spring, my absolute favorite time of year. I’ve fallen a bit behind on the posts but I’m certain I’ll be caught up by this week’s end.

Here’s quick retrospective video made up of the posts from March, 2008.


(A Special Thanks to my brother Jack for writing and contributing the theme song for this month’s retrospective - Awesome!)

The Merganser is a large, sleek diving duck with black upperparts and white underparts. Its head and upper neck are green-black with head crest usually not visible. Long, thin bill is bright red. Its wings are black with extensive white patches. The female is gray overall with red-brown, crested head and neck, white chin, dull white upper breast and belly, and orange bill.  The Juvenile resembles female but has more white on chin, a faint white eye-ring, and duller bill.

Sunrise over the pines in my back yard.

A picture nabbed on a brief walk through the woods around Yardley.

Sometimes the best thing to do on a rainy day is to play in the puddles.

With the chill now subsiding the birds seem to sing

just a little bit louder as we coast into Spring.

Riders and bikes grow in numbers by day

as do walkers and runners and children at play.

I found these shoes just hanging around down by the canal. It should be interesting to see how long they remain there… they’re clearly out of reach so it would take a bit of effort to get them down.

I’ve managed to lose my digital camera - so I’m out of commission for a few days while I get some non-digital shots developed… and/or go buy another camera.

If you’ve got some recent photographs from Yardley that you’d like to send me to fill in for the missing days - I’d love to see them!

Many thanks and Stay tuned…
