These are photos of birds that have been either in our yard or on the beach which is a three minute walk from the house. These are not all of the birds that we have seen – just those that we can get with the camera. I will update this page as we collect more photographs. You can enlarge the photographs by clicking on them – then can see more detail

Jana, Your bird photos are absolutely fabulous!!! Hadn’t read it for a little while and was not disappointed! Loved the pics of the church and concert. I could tell you don’t have your folder for the music yet. Gee, that would be such a kick——-
What is the cable looking thing that you have so many birds on? You’re doing a great job! Does Tom have a blog?
No snow here and temp has been in low 70′s a lot. The irises are growing and prob’ly some other stuff cuz it’s been so very mild. Mountains have plenty of snow, but dry as dust down here. Merry Christmas!!.
Jana, I just can’t rave enough about your (and Tom’s) photos!! So spectacular and surely conveys the feel of what it’s like there. I’ve been in the Carribean enough to get a fairly good idea of how it feels. If I were in a whole lot better shape, I’d be there in a flash. It makes me want to paint so badly, I can hardly stand it!! What a dream life you’re having! Too bad you’ll have to leave again for a while to tend to your momma.Good thing it’a relatively short flght, considering what it could be!
Love ya—take care!
