My garden is a virtual garden. I don’t have a green thumb but I appreciate the beauty of nature, both cultivated and wild. I'm especially attracted to growth that are not usually viewed in a garden or park setting. Also things that are in use by other members of nature, covered in webs or crawling with bugs. Not all things in a garden are flowers.​​​​​​​ Copyright ©Roger Butler Do not copy or distribute without permission

This is a visual list of birds I have seen. I am not a bird watcher but I watch birds. Some were taken around my feeder but there are many from other places including a small lake south of Columbus, the Scioto Audubon Park near downtown Columbus and, most recently, Mt Royal, Pa.

I once saw an article in Popular Photography about a person who captured the sunsets from his apartment window. The apartment is located in Astoria, Queens so the view was the New York City skyline. The pictures were of the same scene but showing the vastly different image of the sun sets, cloud arrangements and night shots depending on weather and conditions. My Balcony project at my apartment in Ohio Living Westminster-Thurber is similar with views that include sun sets, a few sun rises and neighboring scenes. Depending on your location there may be many interesting things going on just outside your window. Have fun! Copyright ©Roger Butler  Do not copy or distribute without permission
