My poor little co-author and sidekick, Max is sooooo bored!!! I’ve been sick with bronchitis once again so homebound and high levels of steriods…yuck! I have such a love/hate relationship with steroids!! Anyway, that said…Max hasn’t been able to go on any of our adventures :(. So, here we go with some recent backyard, “Houston” photos.








Thanks for stopping by!
Elizabeth and Max
Hi Elizabeth and Max. Sorry you’re under the weather. Now we know where the cardinals have gone, lol. Usually our area has a bunch but we haven’t seen em in weeks. Great close ups of the birds.
Red cardinals are my very favorite birds ๐
We love their song. We can always pick them out in the trees around us.
Yes, very distinct sound!
Max is too cute! <3
Thanks I do love him beyond words!
Lovely images!! Indeed he is cute!! Nothing being selfish as I too find my Eric cutest !!
I have the same love/hate with steroids. I have asthma and sometimes they are a life saver. Hope you get well soon.
Urrr… just found this in my spam! Yes, the steroids are the one thing that helps but a curse and blessing both! I feel like a swollen cow that can’t sleep ๐
Ha ha ha. Perfect description.
I hope you are feeling better! Those are some raggedy Cardinals. It looks like they were in full molt. I think the yellowish one might be a molting female. I think the beak color doesn’t become that orangey red till they are older. You might have caught a photo of “this year’s model.” Haha I love Cardinals. They were my Mom’s favorite bird, so anytime I see one, I smile. ๐
Aren’t they rather a hot mess?!? The are this season’s new, revived grunge look! Odd but they’ve been looking crazy for 2 months and maybe I just never noticed them until this year cuz this is the first year I’ve seen them look this strange! They have a spiritual significance to me and I always am happy once I get my daily cardinal fix ๐
I like it “Cardinal grunge!” Only you would come up with that one! I can’t wait to see the hipster version!
Challenge accepted… here hipster birdie…
Oh noooooo! Sorry you’re sick. I hope you feel better soon! Just got my internet back up so I can blog.
Yea! Glad you’re internets back! Get to flying with those fingers๐
He’s a cutie!
Thanks – love the little guy โค๏ธ
I do hope you feel better soon, and no I don’t want to see the momma bear in you :-p
Get Well Soon
Thanks
Hey Chuck – can you please email me at HoustonPhotoJourney@gmail.com?
This must be a recurring problem. Bad luck! He is a cute companion though. ๐
Beautiful pictures and hope things are getting better ๐
Thanks Joshi
I don’t know: he’s hanging in there – and I hope you are too.
Oofff. Sorry to hear about the recurrent bout with bronchitis and the need for steroids again. But hope that both you AND Max will get the chance to make up for lost time when you recover.
Aw, thanks Gabe! Yes, I hate not being able to do much soooo ready to get back out there!!
I hope you get better quick! And btw Max is adorable!!!
Thanks ๐
Oh, wow. I’ve never seen those kind of birds in my life. The photos look amazing!! ๐
Wow, thanks so much Amielle! I really appreciate the sweet words.
And I forgot to say this but I hope you feel better!
Thanks a bunch.
Get well soon Max, get plenty of rest ๐
Thanks so much! Sorry, just responding but it was in my stupid spam folder.
