My nephew and I were out in the front yard, talking with 2 of the neighbors and watching nervously as Alliant Energy chopped up one of their trees. Just in that short amount of time, I caught all of these little guys...none of them ruffled at all, by the noise...

Dane County WI

Yesterday, I went down to Stoughton, near where I grew up. I go there several times, in the Spring, waiting for the cranes and heron. But, also I like to walk in the woods my Grandmother used to send me out into, when I was little.

In the Marsh:













The woods were beautiful as always...but, it sad to see how little respect people have for them. I'm going back next weekend to clean them up.

















...and a couple of shots, in between...

Red-winged Blackbird

I went looking for geese, this morning, but found this beautiful red-winged blackbird. It was fascinating watching him defend his territory.

Northern Harrier...?

The above photo was taken 1/4 mile up the road from me. I've been sorting photos into collections, starting with the ones I've taken right here on my own property. See what you think. I'd appreciate hearing any opinions!

With love and respect, ~Kasey
