Milk weed Pod

Milk weed pod expelling its seeds along Pennsylvania Av. in Binghamton. My grandmother once told me many years ago when I was very young that the white hairs on the seed were angel hairs and that why these fly through the air so gracefully. I remember that that astonishes me in its self, angel hair or not. Bless you grandma for the gifts I can remember as you watch over me from heaven.

Images of Binghamton this week: Jan 26th

Two images taken this week of Binghamton area. The Washington St. Bridge on top with the State Office Building looming in the back ground and the Riverside Drive Bridge is on the bottom. Today is about the same as these images. Got to love the sun, its been hiding from us here. Enjoy your Day!

Huddle up, its cold out here!

"Huddle up, its cold out here" is from this morning walk up to the woods. I saw these European Starlings hanging out on a Nabors chimney trying to stay worm.  Its -1 below and -15 below with the wind-chill in Binghamton this morning. The hike I kept short but it was rewarding. I saw in the woods today 2 Pileated Woodpeckers, Blue Jays, Starlings, Chickadees, Crows, a Carolina Wren and a Red-bellied Woodpecker. I heard Nuthatches and Cardinals but didn't see them. I got a couple of decent images out of the adventure to share latter. Enjoy your evening or morning. All my best wishes, Michael.
