Happy Spring
~ 90 day blog challenge: day 4 ~
Just a happy, fluffy Robin enjoying a real Spring evening. Finally.
Still not tack sharp, but I like the colors, and lighting.

Chillin' Great Blue Heron
~ 90 day blog challenge: day three ~
This was a 4 second exposure with my lens set at 300mm and shot through a window at about 25 feet, so not a chance of it being tack-sharp. Still, it's a beautiful bird and I'm glad I got any shot at all in the twilight conditions.

Birds Galore
~ 90 day blog challenge: day two ~
I don't know if it's because Spring is a late bloomer this year, or I wasn't very observant last year, but I've seen more different types of birds in my backyard this past week than I saw all of last year!
My backyard is DNR land, which includes a pond that connects to a lake. In the last few days I've seen: Great Blue Heron, Wood Duck, Yellow Warbler, Cardinal, Robin, Black-capped Chickadee, some others that I'm not quite sure of, and the Great Egret, pictured above. I love birding.

Dirty Pig
It's Spring once again and I'm really feeling a drive to get back into photography. But good intentions aren't enough. I need discipline. And what better way to tackle discipline than to start a daily blog challenge? My last challenge was in 2011–30 days/30 blogs.
I can dooooo this! Time to get down and dirty–just like my flying pig. 90 days. 90 blogs. Starting....NOW!
I fired up my Nikon today and my flying pig was taunting me to start a challenge, so what could I do? Start with him, of course! I was shooting through a screen, which gave a nice soft focus effect.
Day 1 of 90 down. Woot!

Be an original
As I was getting ready to leave work tonight, I used my phone to take a picture of my ride.
The image was very small on my phone, so I didn't get a really good look at it until I got home. A friend pointed out that all the cars around my trike were neutral colors except for a couple. So I cropped them out to show what you see here: an awesome trike in a sea of neutral density boringness.
I thought about cropping down to just vehicles, but I like the Richfield skyline in the background. I also think it makes the subject a little more subtle. I see the water tower first, and then my eyes pan down and...wait? What?
