In need of good, loving homes



A friend of mine is a foster mom for dogs and works with others to get them into fur-ever homes.

The other day I was asked if I could take some photos of the dogs for their web site, http://tarashouse.org/petlist.html

These are all mixed bulldogs and are so loving and adorable. It was difficult to take pictures of them because they were running around in the yard (large, fenced in) playing with each other.  I ended up taking photos of each dog, one at a time. They were still hard to photograph.

Here are a few shots, but check out the web site for other dogs that are up for adoption.

First Hummingbird of the Season!


I have been waiting anxiously for the return of my hummingbirds. This beautiful male ruby-throated hummingbird feed at my feeder last night (April 16, 2015). I was so excited!! 

I look forward to more hummers in my backyard and more photo ops.

Black-crowned Night-Heron

12 April 2015:

Today I went to Baker Park in Frederick Maryland. It was a beautiful sunny day in the low 60s.

For the last few years, I have seen the black-crowned night-heron in the trees beside Culler Lake. They come here to breed. They collect branches to make their nests.  I took these today.

You can see the rest of my photos on my photography site: http://www.pileggiphotography.com/Animals/Black-crowned-Night-Heron/48569604_c6MhnX#!i=3987212401&k=HZRgq5v
