Welcome Visitors

Welcome to my personal blog. I have another blog, Herbert's Place, but that one limits me to what I sometimes want to publish, because it is mainly used to promote my books. As it says in the header, I want to use this blog to write about things that have nothing to do with my books. There is no real theme here. I'll be writing about anything that causes me to either be happy or somethings that concerns me. It could be political, travel, a hobby, or anything else. So come and visit me sometimes.

American Goldfinch

The finches have finally arrived. Last year I saw the first one on April 30th. They are such beautiful birds and a pleasure to watch. There were three of them, but I could never get all three into one picture. They just moved around so fast. I did manage to take a few pictures, though. It took lots of patience and luck. Here they are:
