Wrenaissance Reflections
http://wrenaissance.com
Writing Wrenaissance Reflections is a way for me to share my enthusiasm for nature, wildlife, and birds, as well as the joy that I’ve gotten from creating, improving, and living in a backyard wildlife habitat. The name comes from the Carolina Wrens that lived in our garage and yard in Virginia.
Watching birds and other critters is the most relaxing part of my day. Puttering around the yard, taking photos, or just sitting and watching is my best escape from stress and hassle. It doesn’t require a green thumb or years of experience - anything you do that makes your yard a more welcoming place for wildlife and the world a safer and healthier environment will return rewards that more than repay the work you did. Like me, you can have the satisfaction of knowing you have made the world a little better place through your efforts.
