This afternoon KRP was baking and it seemed no matter where I turned I was getting in the way. This made for a good excuse to enjoy the sunshine – yes we saw the sun today! – and head out to the wildlife refuge.
On first glance through the shots I picked out a few to post. It surprised me how many birds were there today. Right after I arrived some kids scared the geese on the other side of the road and they all flew over us and started to land out on our side. Wow all the bird watchers and photographers were so busy staring at them that we forgot to take pictures and look through binoculars. It was amazing and they just kept coming!
I remembered to get out my camera and caught the last bit of it all. Just awesome. Usually I sit there and wait and about once every two hours a gaggle will fly over and/or land but todays flights were not the norm for me anyways.
I know some of you are probably getting tired of nothing but photos but for the most part it is all am finding to do lately. With the Christmas rush it is not fun to venture out and about. The rain has put a damper on many things also.
So that is what I have been doing. Reading and taking photos.
So here are a few from today:
These are great shots!!! Love ’em. It’s cold and wet here too. Well, not raining, but still everything is soggy and wet. We have a couple of blue herons and great egrets hanging out at the lake but I haven’t managed to get a decent shot of them yet.
Merry Christmas, friend! Hope it’s warm and happy and fuzzy for you.
Merry Christmas to you Karoli! I am getting better with the right eye shooting. I still strive to capture bird s as well as you have.
Remember way back when? You inpired me to get the camera and go for it! Then you supported me with you knowlegeable help? Well I have not and I thank you again!
Peace, Love, and Joy to you and yours,
Jan
I love the photos, Jan. You know what they say about a picture being worth 1000 words!
Merry Christmas. I wish you a new year full of happy things.
Wow, incredible! This is one person who never gets tired of your photos. Glad to see you had a good afternoon. And, hopefully you arrived home to nice smells and goodies.
Am glad to have met you in the blogosphere — Merry Christmas.
