Everything Nice

June 9, 2022June 9, 2022 / Nancy Friedland / 11 Comments

Going to Ridgefield Wildlife Reserve is all about birdwatching really. But flowers and landscapes are what my camera can do.... Also BBQ, writing, the backyard, and more.

Washington On Your Side

March 9, 2022April 30, 2022 / Nancy Friedland / 15 Comments

Washington in February may have been a misguided vacation plan.

Bird Brain

May 17, 2021April 24, 2022 / Nancy Friedland / 10 Comments

The vast grassland stretched out into a perfect spring day. An eagle soared, a heron and egret fished. I needed nothing else from the world for just that moment.
