Birds and Books

Unless you're a very patient person or fellow photographer, you may find me a terrible person with whom to take a bicycle ride because I frequently stop to take pictures.  My mom belongs in the first category; she's a very kind and patient person!  During one of our rides at the lake, she spotted this red-bellied woodpecker and pointed it out to me.

The red-bellied woodpecker is named for the reddish tint on its belly.  Although the red feathers on its head are much more obvious, another species already holds the name of red-headed woodpecker.  

 A flock of geese rested on the ice while swans swam in the lake.

Blogging friend Marie of A Colorful World  recently announced that her mother Latane Barton was opening a book club at Springtime in Magnolia. 

 Bloggers are welcome to join and share reviews of whatever books they read: there is no required reading.  I recently joined and shared my review of Rachel Guerrera's ebook Staying on Topic is Hard.  Check out Springtime in Magnolia and join in the fun!
