Take a Look at Nature's Charm & Critters on Our Small Farm - April 16, 2018

It seems like winter just does not want to release its hold on the Midwest. I don't remember a time with such high winds for so many days, which makes the temps seem lower than they are. Snow has come on several days and then melted within hours. It sure makes for some beautiful pictures. Enjoy...

These aren't actually pictures from the farm. I was able to go on a day hike with a friend, in the hopes of seeing and photographing eagles. We did not see any eagles, but I did get some photographs of nature's charm. Enjoy!

It is really cool when I can get photographs of pollinators on my flowers. I have some to share in this group of photos. In addition, I was able to get two really nice photographs of dragonflies.

Lots of flowers are still blooming, providing food for the pollinators. The summer's heat is increasing, while the day's light is decreasing.

Lastly, my bluebird couple are raising their third group of babies this year, and I captured a photo. Enjoy!

Baby Bluebirds just a couple of days before they flew on their own.

First, I want to share pictures of my Ameraucana chicks who are a month younger than the Mystery chicks. The first chick is my favorite. I named her Miss Cricket after she made a cricket chirping sound in my ear one day while holding her. She now has the most and coolest feathery face than the other Ameraucana chicks.

Miss Cricket's feather face. Too cool!

Five of the Mystery chicks are below, but they are no longer a mystery. There are two New Hampsire Reds, one Columbian Wyandotte, one black star, one red star, and the two not shown are Pearl White Leghorns - which are too flightly to get out and try to photograph.
