Goodnight Dragonfly

Goodnight, sweet Dragonfly, the light does quickly ebb.

Goodnight, sweet Dragonfly, it's time to go to bed.

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.
