ByMarnie January 3, 2021January 3, 2021

ByDavid Kuhns July 2, 2016April 19, 2018

A couple of years ago (July 2016) my dad said he thought he’d seen a white bird feeding with a bunch of dark (purple) grackles at a neighbor’s lake-side bird feeder (normally reserved for geese and ducks). Sure enough, when I went out to see, I was able to video this rare albino grackle! One…

Etude for a Cool Georgia Summer Evening — Improvisational Piano
ByDavid Kuhns July 25, 2019July 30, 2019

On a cool Georgia summer evening I was front porch sitting, watching the butterflies, birds and nodding wildflowers mix with a late July sunset. Suddenly, as though from a distant memory, came the soft, slow notes of a piano. It was a different type of www.FrontPorchSense.com + www.NaturesGuy.com! My wife played / improvised a new…
