Weather Up There

I chanced upon this Northern Cardinal singing yesterday morning. The rain had just stopped, the clouds turned white and the sky showed a little blue. Due to the sun’s position, the tree’s position and the bird’s position, I ended up at an odd angle to photograph him. I was just glad he didn’t fly away.

How’s the weather up there?

Fluffy Heron

When I went outside the other day, I noticed a big, white ball of fluff through the trees. I got my camera and it turned out to be a Great White Heron (or Great White Egret). I had some difficulty in getting this photo, as the wind was strong enough to push me around while I was trying to stand still.
