Recreating a native habitat has been a dream of mine since I was about 18. It only took me 20 years, but I finally have two acres of land in the country with which to work (and play). My goal is to document the improvements I make to the property: restoring habitat & attracting birds and butterflies in addition to other wildlife.
Just the back yard!? Nah, I want the front and side yards landscaped in natives too.

Camera in Hand and Nothing to Show for It!
I just came in from strolling in the yard. I even took the camera with me just in case. As I rounded the bend in the path, something very large and only a few feet away from me startled me. It didn't take my dazed brain too long to realize that it was a wild turkey taking flight right in front of me...however, it did take my brain a bit too long to realize that I had a camera just hanging there at the end of my arm. By the time I brought it up to my eye, the bird was flying across the street...I took one blurred shot before it was out of sight. Great experience though...and nice to know that something must've attracted him to our yard.
