This Inca Dove is nesting on the inside of our dog kennel cover.

I just love covered nesting, don’t you?

A cat on the inside? Maybe a cat burglar?

“Inside” was also a Weekly Photo Challenge in July 2012. Here’s the photo from that one.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Inside

I’ve seen all three U.S. coasts, but I don’t have any photos of them that I can find. They are photos before digital cameras were invented, anyway. Here’s my “artist’s interpretation” of The Sea.

This is the aquarium at Cabela’s in Buda, Texas, where you can walk through and see fish on both sides.

My “sea” is an indoor, artificial, freshwater aquarium. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

I use a point-and-shoot camera, so it automatically focuses for me. My efforts to try to get something in focus and out of focus at the same time didn’t work. That’s why I use a camera that already knows what it is doing.

Instead, here are two photos taken of the exact same spot: the top of the utility pole in our front yard (about a month apart, time-wise). The first photo, the Crested Caracara, was taken with a my old camera, a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH20 with 8x optical zoom. The second photo, the Harris Hawk, was taken with my new camera, a Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS25 with 20x optical zoom.
