Fun Read

Steve's dad has had some problems with his foot that has slowed him down a bit.  One day while I was with him, we were talking about what I should write for my next blog.  He had been looking at mail that was piled up and showed me a couple of issues of the magazine pictured below.  He said that the magazines had really good information on all kinds of birds, and he thought that I should write "a story" about birds.  That seemed like a very tall order, plus there are several presentations coming up by our peers about our native birds and gardening to attract them.  I thought that there might be something IN the magazine that would inspire me.  Then, of course, the top line piqued my interest, so I started leafing through this particular issue.  He gave me several issues that he had already read "for research."

Needless to say, I am not writing about any bird or plant.  What I am writing about is how enjoyable these magazines are.  The photography is amazing.  The pictures of the birds and plants that they live with are accompanied by brief articles.  There are also articles about butterflies and plants, accompanied by beautiful pictures.  One section that caught my attention is "What's this..." Q&A of pictures sent in by readers from all over the country.  Birds,  plants, and butterflies were the main topic of the questions.  I was intrigued by the pictures of birds that I have never seen as they are not native to our area.

So, if you are interested, this is definitely a publication that I would recommend.
