Meet the biggest eagle we have in North America, the Golden Eagle!

Hope your weekend was a good one?! Meet the Honey Bee. Many people know the Honey Bee!! The flower of this series is the Poppy Flower. The Honey Bee's do like the Poppy, specially the red Poppy!! Or the salt and pepper shaker flower! The Honey Bee for being the size it is, does the work of several humans just buzzing around doing their thing! If it were not for the Honey Bee in part (pollinators in general), I would not have the seeds nor the food we grow here!

The cold weather is upon us and I need some color!! Being avid gardeners I thought I would share some color of the Sunflowers from our 2014 garden. Along with all the plants we grow we have many visitors show up on our small plot of land to share the bounty, thank goodness for the honey bee and all the other pollinators! Without them hand pollinating would be the other choice and well, that is a lot of work! These photographs were taken on Sept. 8 of 2014. Not so long ago however looking outside it is like this was a life time ago!

The Crooked River National Grasslands is rather close to where we live here in Jefferson County Oregon , so we spend a lot of time on this 112,357 acres of land. This Grassland is part of the Ochoco National Forest consisting of 850,000 acres and for those who have kept up with my photography or blog have heard me talk quite a bit about the Ochocos. We have a lot of such places here however this is where I captured photographs of this Western Kingbird.
