The Adventures of Kerri & Matt

This robin at Moody park didn’t like us looking at her nest.

She had food.

Which she fed to her babies.

Moody park had some cute frogs.

Lots of frogs, but they were hard to spot.

Kerri fell into the lake taking pictures of them.

She was trying to figure out why that one in the back looks different. She thought it was a turtle head. She was trying to point it out to Kim but Kim couldn’t see it.

We recently received a comment from a fan of kerrimatt. It was very astute so we thought we should share it:

“There are stunning images of elephants, lions, antelope, birds and other creatures in their habitats. The best are the God’s-eye view shots of watering holes joined by elephant trails, an image that evokes NASA photos of the surfaces of cracked and cratered moons. But hackneyed storytelling undercuts the visuals and makes them feel bland and devoid of character, like vegetables boiled until the taste is gone and only color remains.”

That sounds pretty accurate. So accurate that Kerri almost approved the comment, even though it is clearly from a spammer, and the review is plagerized from a Roger Ebert review of the Disney movie Elephant.

But at least they recognized that our images are stunning.

This is a wintering woodpecker.

It hangs out around our balcony.

We have a nickname for it, but we can’t share it because it’s not very nice. Every morning an hour before sunrise, he hammers for nearly an hour at the metal grate outside our bedroom window to attract a mate.

This seems unnecessary because we’ve already seen him with a mate.

So he’s clearly just being a jerk.
