This is a field full of them. They look like blue glitter when you’re out walking.
Houstonia pusilla, tiny bluet
They’re so cute.
Tiny bluets are one of the first native wild flowers to bloom in spring here. Companion planted these with a hackberry tree seedling.

I photographed these cedar waxwings (Bombycilla cedrorum) about 15 minutes ago. They visit this same tree every year—well, maybe not these exact birds, but you get the idea. The tree is located to the west, and they tend to perch high up, making raw photographs appear as silhouettes. To reveal the vibrant colors of the birds, I usually lighten the images a bit.
If you love locking eyes with our feathered friends, flock to my photo gallery at:
One of my favorite watercolors! I love minimalistic landscapes.

Every time I posted a photo of this large colony of northern gannets on Ile Bonaventure, off the coast of Percé in Gaspe Peninsula in Quebec, Canada, someone would comment about how stinky it was there. Funny thing is, I have no recollection whatsoever of it being stinky. All I remember is what a scorcher of a day it was, and what an amazing sight!
We went on a two week road trip across Quebec, all the way to Îles de la Madeleine, for our tenth anniversary, almost ten years ago. It was the best road trip ever! Not only did we get to visit the largest colony of northern gannets in North America, but we also got to see a large pod of beluga whales in St. Lawrence River! Would definitely do this trip all over again.
