I’ve been spending a bit of time with my Olympus camera, getting to know it again…

it had been sitting on the shelf for a long time because I had misplaced the charger…

my son-in-law was able to find one online for me and I recently received it…

I dug out the manual, read through it and have started to take more pictures… I never thought it worked as well as my Nikon, but maybe I didn’t give it a chance, lol…

we shall see…

today I spent a lot of time observing the birds at the feeders in the garden…

started first thing when I caught a nuthatch, squirrel and bunny snacking… I didn’t even notice the nuthatch when I took the photo, lol…

then the nuthatches, chickadees and house finches came and went for hours…

got a few good shots while at it, but it was difficult with the snow on the window…

a very enjoyable way to spend the day…

joy…

last evening I spent time on Instagram… people tend to put up their nine most liked photos of the year, but I decided to put up my nine favourite ones…

I was thinking they would be flowers, with maybe a bird or piece of chocolate included…

once I finished, there were seven with flowers, one bird and a monarch butterfly…

looking through the pictures reminded me of some wonderful times over this past year…

my orchids, which provide such joy for me all year long…

planting, growing and enjoying morning glories, datura and dahlias…

time spent, with and without cameras, viewing the birds in the garden…

a rose along the sidewalk on one of the walks I took this year, with my daughter in my ear;-)…

the amazing time I spent over the summer with eggs, caterpillars and butterflies… and the day my grandson and I watched the butterflies appear…

time with hearts and flower bouquets…

the water lily flowers that erupted in the pond… had the most blooms ever this summer… and I hope to overwinter them in the aquarium…

lovely reminders of a crazy, but wonderfully special year…

had a quiet day yesterday… spent time taking photos of ornaments on the tree and the orchids…

a friend dropped off the fixings for turkey dinner which I warmed up at supper time… it was a lovely treat and made for a relaxed and enjoyable meal… ended the day with hot lemonade in my new mug and gifted shortbread…

just another reminder of how blessed I truly am…

Sunday I cleaned the windows on the patio door, inside and out… used a squeegee that I found when cleaning out a cupboard… it was a beautiful day…

also finished the inside of the living room window… I had done the outside a few days before… the camera kept showing the dirty spots when I viewed it on the screen, lol…

pretty and bright…

last night I set my alarm for the first time in ages… Big Brothers and Big Sisters were doing a pickup of donations and I’d been gathering things for weeks…

had to turn on all the lights because it was so dark… went out to sweep off the step but the thin layer of snow was frozen, lol…

I moved all the boxes from the den closet onto the front step… took a while…

then I turned on the motion sensor for the front camera and had a cup of tea while I watched my morning news program…

good thing I got up early because they arrived just after eight…

happy to see things that I no longer need, but are in excellent condition, get to be reused ;-)…

yesterday a lot of time was spent at the front window with the camera on the tripod…

first up was this cute downy woodpecker… often hard to get a photo as they move fairly quickly, but caught this shot…

the gray squirrels have been busy at the base of the feeder… their tails are so pretty…

and finally, the red squirrels were around… they are very cute but not too friendly with the rest of the critters…

such fun to watch all of these visitors;-)…

what a lovely afternoon… my son-in-law and youngest grandson came over with lunch… we had burgers and subway sandwiches in the garage…

then my son-in-law installed a new security light and camera on the garage… biggest issue was getting it to connect to the app, lol…

while he was doing that, my grandson took on mulching the leaves in the front yard… it was his first time mowing… he is getting big…

and the two of them caught eleven of the nineteen fish in the pond… it was great fun to watch them work together to capture the individual fish…

they also pulled out the plants that I am going to try to overwinter…

what a treat;-)…

spent a few minutes with the Centre Court dahlias that I brought into the house yesterday…

they have really opened up since they came in and I had a bit of fun taking pictures…

trying to decide whether I like the dark background or the light one…

what do you think;-)…
