It was my first time there, and I have to say I was blown away! If at all possible, GO! To think that I saw well over 40 species of birds in a short time and added 9 or more life birds to my lifelist in the middle of summer is pretty amazing. I hope to be able to go back for spring migration. The marsh itself is over 33,000 acres of wetland. There are so many places to go, I couldnt possibly do it all in one day. I spent some time in a photo blind that I had reserved for the day. It was a little slow, so I hit some of the trails, the floating boardwalk and gift shops, a couple Nature Centers and took a drive through the 3 mile Auto tour. Here are some of my pictures from that day.<br />

I had almost 4 hours to do whatever I wanted, so naturally this would be my choice. I got a few pictures worth posting in between swatting Mosquitoes since I forgot my bug spray at home. After donating about a quart of blood, I decided to leave and go to one of my other favorite places in the world, Happy Hollow Park. Not much to see there, but the river sure is high for this time of year. I came home happy and relaxed and you cannot put a price on that!! Enjoy the weekend, whatever it brings you. I am hoping to sneak some more outside time in! On to the pictures.<br />

I probably have enough for part 3 and maybe even 4!! Then again, this may be it. I am also linking up with Eileen for <a href="http://viewingnaturewitheileen.blogspot.com/2014/07/saturdays-critters-32.html">Saturdays Critters</a>. As I said before, I took a 4 hour trip to a spot here in Janesville called Rotary Gardens. Its a magical place and I could get lost there for hours, in fact I did!! I spent most of my time in the Pollinators section, a spot where you see the most bugs, butterflies and even hummingbirds. The flowers and landscaping and statues etc are worth the trip alone, but throw in all the animal life, and I am there. I am also including a few pictures I took on Wednesday, just out for a drive with my dogs. I am posting them first. <br />

I have a Pet Sitter named Shan, who comes here every Thursday from 9am to 3pm. That is my guaranteed day to be out of the house with no worries about damage to my apartment, or a fevering dog to come home to. I have been lucky so far, every week Shan has come, the weather has been beautiful! Today was no exception, 70s and sunny, a little breeze. I started my day by having breakfast with 2 of my favorite girls, daughter Courtney and Grand daughter Kileigh. After that we did a little shopping, then I headed to our local garden for some photography opportunities. I love to shoot bugs in the Summer, especially on beautiful flowers. I love to break out my macro lens and try to get as close as possible to my subject, always a challenge. On to the pictures. Look for part 2 soon....<br />

We have been having days in the low 80s or even upper 70s! I cant complain about that being that its July. My time outside has been limited. Its challenging to shoot with 2 dogs. Jax has severe separation anxiety and has done damage to my apartment, so until I can get into a place I own, I either have to hire a dog sitter, or take him with. Challenges challenges :) Anyway, spent a couple hours in a local prairie yesterday, trying to get some bug shots. I am also joining up with <a href="http://viewingnaturewitheileen.blogspot.com/">Eileen </a>on her Saturday Critters challenge. Here they are:<br />

Last time I posted, I was at 100. I am now at 168! I am just going to periodically post a few life birds as I go until I am caught up. Its been a very exciting year! I went out in search of Migrating birds a lot more this year, even if it meant sitiing in my SUV and watching for them. Well worth the effort to see such beauty. On to the birds.<br />

I love being outside, wandering around, seeing what I can see. Yesterday I decided to spend the day along the river. I had 6 hours to kill, and believe me, it flew by. There is just something so calming and peaceful about walking, camera in hand, waiting for something to catch my eye. It could be a beautiful flower, a bug, a bird or a landscape. I just never know. That is part of the thrill, I almost feel like a detective, walking slowly and as quietly as I can, hoping to catch something magical. I was able to do just that yesterday. I have seen many many Great Blue Herons, but never as close as this one, or for as long. I took almost 100 pictures of it fishing and preening, but edited it down to these 4 shots as my favorites.<br />

Welcome back to my blog. This is the first time in a good long while I am posting a bead related update. I decided to once again participate in the bead soup blog hop. I was paired up with the wonderful and very sweet Valerie Norton on <a href="http://www.hot-fused-glass.com/">Hot Art</a> for the second time! We both decided to keep each other even though we had been paired up once in the past. I have to say, Valerie completely spoiled me with the soup she sent. Here is a quick look:<br />

She sent so much, there will be many more pieces coming from this beautiful soup. I even got chocolates and some great smelling hand lotion. Thank you so much Valerie!<br />
<br />
Anyway, on to the creations, which is what you are really here for.<br />

I used the leaf pendant Valerie sent along with the temporarily strung strand of beads she sent. I loved the color combination so much, that I restrung it just as is. My sister Kim and I made the collage and I glued it to the leaf pendant. The 9 represents my favorite and lucky number, and the word Free was added to represent my new found freedom after divorce. Added a little wire worked drop to the end for interest.</div>

<i> </i>I absolutely loved this Golem pendant Valerie sent, the colors are so peaceful and serene. I loved the beachy colors on the cream background (hence the name) and I added bone heishi beads making a chain using them and jump rings. Then I wire worked drops onto the chain, wove the ribbon Valerie sent through the antique brass chain sewing the ends. I loved the clasp so much, I put it nearer the front so it could be seen. I also added a Vintaj hummingbird to the pendant to tie it all together.</div>

Last but not least, a matching pair of earrings. I used the lampwork beads she send, AB bead caps and made simple earrings.I plan to make many more pieces because I have a lot of leftover soup ingredients!! I had so much fun. Thanks again Valerie and Lori Anderson for making this possible.<br />

I keep an app on my Kindle called Audubon Birds, which is a way to record the species I have seen. It is called a "Lifelist". I have been able to add several species over the past couple of months. I have my own personal rule. In order to add a bird to my lifelist, I must have a picture that clearly shows the bird so I can make an undeniable identification. Here are some of the birds I have been fortunate enough to add:<br />

I had heard there were several along the Rock River between Beloit and Newville, so I headed out to see if I could find them. I did. The first day was so magical, I decided to go the next day as well. Its been so cold here in Wisconsin, that the Eagles are showing up near dams and areas of open water, which are few and far between. Much of the river is frozen solid, so looking for them right now is a little easier. I saw 2 adult and 6 juvenile Eagles on one day! On to the pictures.<br />

I have always wanted a Flowered Shar Pei, so when I saw the picture of the little blue mini flowered Shar Pei puppy, I fired off an e-mail to the breeder and we exchanged several messages. Long story short, I added the puppy to my family. I decided on the name Brimley after a great friend suggested he looked like Wilford Brimley and I should name him Wilford. I didnt really like that, but loved Brimley. My friend Molly and I took a long trip to Iowa to pick him up, and he has meshed perfectly with my family.<br />

Where did 3 months go??I cant believe I havent posted since October. I guess time really got away from me. I have been super busy lately. A friend and I started a photography business, and I have been spending a lot of time working on that. I am still out and about, taking nature shots. That is my main passion, but it doesnt pay the bills. I am planning on making a better effort to keep up with my blog this year (since I cant make any less of an effort)!! Anyway, on to the shots.<br />

We even had a bit of snow flurries yesterday afternoon. The colors are just beautiful here. My friend Molly and I have been doing a lot of hiking and camera shooting the past few months.<br />
On a personal note, lots has changed in my life. I have recently filed for divorce and moved out on my own. My friend Molly and I are starting a Photography business and have been doing a lot of sessions lately. Life is good, and I am happy for the first time in a long while. Ending a marriage is never easy, and not to be taken lightly, but in my case, it needed to be done.<br />
Anyway, Here are some of my recent shots. Enjoy!<br />

Part of the reason I havent posted in awhile is I have been having problems with Blogger. I have posted in the help forum and written e-mails, but have been offered no help. I still shoot each and every day. I wish I could easily update here, but I cant. Sometimes I can post with no trouble, othertimes I can't get anything to work the right way. To get caught up now, would be next to impossible, but I will try to post more often, time allowing! Having 3 dogs now including a small puppy, my time in much more limited.<br />

I have been sadly slacking on my blog updates as of late. I have been super busy. Still shooting my camera every day, still watching my Grandbabies. In July I took on a Foster dog for SharPei Savers. The above picture is Jax the first day I got him. He is basically blind, Vets estimate he has about 10% of his vision left. He suffered from untreated Entropion (basically a breed related condition where the upper and/or lower eyelids roll into the eye and cause damage to the corneas). He had entropion surgery the week after I got him.<br />

As you can see, the Vet removed pieces of his upper and lower eyelids and stitched them so his eyelashes no longer rub his corneas. Because they were untreated for so long, the damage to his eyes is permanent. To make a long story short, there is no way I could let this wonderful boy go anywhere else, so I am adopting him!!<br />

After Before<br />
And a month later, this is how Jax looks now! Amazing what a little love can do! He has gained 8 lbs in 4 weeks, he is recovered from his surgery and is a happy healthy little lilac boy with a new home.<br />

Oops, looks like I got a bit behind, shocker! Lots going on here in both my personal life and all around me. I wont go into details now, but sometime down the road I will fill you in. I am still going strong with my Project 365. As many of you know, I am focusing mainly on birds and other wildlife for my Project 365, although I will throw in an occasional person, sunset or anything else that I think is worthy. On to the pictures, there will be a lot of them!<br />

Not waiting a full 10 days to update this time. It just takes too long. The weather has been up and down, 88 one day and 49 the next, a bit of sun a bit of rain and a lot of clouds. Doesnt stop me from getting out most of the time. I am now 5 months in and still going strong with the photo a day challenge. Looking forward to being able to look back at the end and see how far I have come. Enjoy the weekend!!<br />

What can I say? No excuses, just life gets in the way sometimes. Ive been continuing to take daily shots, sometimes several trips out in the same day. I love that spring is finally here, blue skies and warmer temperatures. Definitely makes it much more enjoyable., even though we are experiencing some pretty severe flooding here in Wisconsin. Anyway, since I have 10 pictures to post, I'm gonna get busy doing it. Have a wonderful weekend.<br />

American White Pelicans were migrating through! There were at least 50 of them, bird #91 for my life list!! They only have the "bump" on their beak during mating season. Up to a 70" wing span! Pretty impressive. Thanks Kim for calling me to come take pictures!!<br />

I liked how calm the river was which made the reflections perfect. Didn't notice the red winged blackbird until I got home. Starting to green up nicely. This is all a flooded area, normally the water would end all the way at the back of the treeline.<br />

I was so excited to see this bird! It is a Horned Grebe! This bird was just migrating through, but gave me a thrill none the less. I waited and waited for it to come in close enough to be able to get a good shot of it. The next day I went back, there were 3 of them. Haven't seen them since. another for my Audubon Life List. Im now at 86.</div>

I bead embroidered the focal piece. I had to make the beautiful enameled butterfly button the main attraction. Made a clasp out of the button Karen sent, and earrings to match. So a little embroidery, a little wirework and a little stringing.<br />

I wanted the lampwork to stand out, so I made a simple necklace using a little wirework to attach the beads. Also made earrings to match!</div>

Hi and welcome back! It has been awhile since I have posted on Wild Bird Wednesday. I went out shooting quite a bit over the weekend. I was able to add 4 new birds to my Audubon Life List, so it was a good weekend. One of the birds added is the Common Loon. Normally they are much farther North of me, but for some reason there were here. Here are my shots:</div>

I had a wonderful week, spent a lot of time outside. I was able to add 4 new species of birds to my Audubon Life List. The weather was much more cooperative too, even a day in the 60's! Looks like the upcoming week will be more typical of April, lots of rain and a bit chilly. Anyway, on to the pictures.<br />
