A little lesson, maybe?
It doesn’t matter how you look or how many teeth you have. Just smile for the darn camera!

the way I see the world
Here is a little series of shots from yesterday’s visit with the birds. I continue to be fascinated by the ibis. The colors one sees when the light hits its wings can be lovely. This was in very little light, so there isn’t as much color as sometimes, but I was happy to catch the bird in flight.
Ibis, I, II, III & IV, 1.19.15
Cranes (I), 12.22.14
Even while I doubt I have anything print-worthy from yesterday, I realized that there are shots that I like because they remind me of what we saw. They remind me, too, of what I good time I had with everyone.
Of course it’s possible I may find I do have things I can print: I start out not liking anything and after a while my eyes start to see the possibilities. Here’s hoping!
Yesterday we went for a little drive and had a visit with some friends. Oh, and we also met up with some human friends! We had great fun with both sets of friends
Dan has a new lens so I used the 100-400mm his new lens replaces. It’s huge. It’s awkward and, as he told me today, I’ll get a lot of bad photos. Indeed I can verify that as I look at all the shots from yesterday. I’m not sure I’ll come away with even one that I truly like, but this will at least show you some of our “friends”.
Of course I won’t give up on everything I shot yesterday: I’ve learned to be slow in deleting things, as my eyes see differently as I gain some distance.
