We put a birdhouse right outside our kitchen window and it’s been fascinating to watch the action and interactions.  Turns out that the woodpecker is a big ole meanie!

I know it may not look like it here, but that woodpecker started it. I saw it.

Peacock Road

AKA Valley Mill Road in Winchester.  My wife actually drives this road every day and suggested we stop on the way back from a shoot today.  Glad we did.  Gonna make a point of going back to see if I can get a fully fanned out peacock image.  BTW, Have you ever heard a peacock’s call?  I thought it was a cat in some major distress.  It caught me completely off guard.  But now I know.  My wife says it sounds like they’re screaming “help!”

I’m kinda getting into this whole bird-watching thing.  I get why people do it.

This is really not a great photo. But it’s still fun to get new visitors. Still no squirrels, btw.
