I’ve only ever had the privilege of photographing bluebirds a few times and all were last winter at Middle Creek Wildlife Management Area. Bluebird populations have decreased so it is important to place nesting boxes in appropriate areas in order to help conserve local bird populations. I was hopeful that I could attract bluebirds to our yard, but the area is too wooded. Bluebirds like an open habitat, which is why you often see bluebird houses in open fields and rural countryside. This one was mounted on a fence in a garden area at Burnside Plantation in Bethlehem, Pa.

I wasn’t blessed with the greatest sense of direction. As a result, I need to find landmarks to remind me where to turn when driving to a familiar location or even to help me find my car at the mall. These three silos are my indicator for where to turn en route to Middle Creek Wildlife Management Area. After about 10 years of driving there, I no longer need the GPS, but a landmark or two along the way help me to stay on track.

I’m thankful to whoever left their boat on the shore at the lake because it became the focal point of my photo during yesterday’s snowfall.

It was a crisp 25 degrees and snowing this afternoon at the lake. Before long, there will be ice fisherman and skaters enjoying winter-time activities on the ice covered water. In the summer, this beach would be buzzing with swimmers and there would be boats on the water. Today, I was the only one who ventured out onto the snow covered sand. I love the solitude of a beach in the winter.
