Return

I'm back, at least for the moment. I'll see if I can keep up a daily post, but of course a lot is going to depend on if I'll be able to photograph tulips next month. In the meantime, I've still got shots from my visit back in February from the Museum of Nature, and a few things I've shot since then.

The next gallery in the Museum concentrates on birds, with a wealth of birds from across North America featured thematically in display cases.


There are some smaller encased dioramas in here, such as with this hawk along the shorelines of the Great Lakes.

  6. Glad to see you bogging again! I like seeing the birds, but feel sad as they are all stuffed. Though that might well be the only way to see some of these!

  14. Good evening William, what a treat to see the bird display posted in these dark times. I trust you are keeping well and safe. Are you under "Stay home" Lockdown? We have been under the strictest Lockdown in the world - been necessary in a society like ours - for the past five weeks by the time restrictions are lifted end April. I've enjoyed being at home and not traveling as much as I have in the past year. Regards Jo (South Africa)

  21. Welcome back for now. I love seeing birds up close but hate they're dead and taxidermied.
    I hope you'll have access to your tulips. Some of the best displays in the Netherlands are closed down; I've seen some nice videos from there, Plan B for the pandemic. And the month-long Tulip Festival in Washington state's Skagit Valley has been closed down.
