This blog is about my garden and the outdoors. I am new to photography but I am trying to show some of the pretty things that grow here in Michigan. I love the wild things who visit me and I dont mind if they eat a bit here and there. I like it more if they let me take their picture. As time goes on I think I will try to show you around the beautiful area that I live in as well as my garden. I try to use my own pictures as much as possible but will also use pictures from the web. If I inadvertently use your photo or work without permission please email me and I will remove it or give credit if you prefer. I will give credit when I know who the owner is. I would ask that anyone using my pictures do the same.

Indigo Bunting.................

On a recent day out we saw an Indigo Bunting but not close enough for a good picture. You can at least appreciate how pretty it is. We had gone to the Sleeping Bear dunes and I had only just said that I had seen my first Indigo Bunting there. Then low and behold this one appears.

I have to show you some good pictures of this bird because its really beautiful. I got them by searching on the web and have no idea who took them. I prefer to use my own pictures and apologize to the people who got these wonderful shots. Maybe one day I can get closer.

These sort of birds do not come into town. Not that I see anyway. They live out by the sand dunes.

My friend Jo lives out that way and I think they see them now quite often.

I will make sure I take my camera next time I am there. They also get the Baltimore Oriels and many other birds we do not get in town. A lot are passing through the area on migration routes.
