These are both for Christmas gifts. Cake plate #1 ~ Goodwill plate .99 cents and candle holder $1.99. Plate #2 - Same deal as #1. All from Goodwill, same prices.

Day 1 - March 30, 2011 - THE BIRDS

Image
Yes, I decided to go for it again.... another 365 days of posting something! So today I start out with BIRDS. And this post is for my friend P2.. more wildlife from my backyard P2. Came home yesterday afternoon from work and spotted this really BIG bird in the backyard at the end of the drive. I only noticed him cause he was big and I knew he was not my regular visitor. I ran in and got the camera and tried to get close but before moving in on him I got this shot...he was eating on what I think was a small bird cause I found the feathers. I know its not a great shot but I think it is a hawk? Apparently Mr. I think he is a hawk has moved in around me somewhere cause this evening as I pulled into the drive again, I noticed him sitting in the tree over the drive.

And here is a male and female red bird....sitting in a tr

Day 364 - March 28, 2011 - Last Weeks Photo Shoot with Holly

First I want to say Happy Birthday to one of my oldest and dearest friends, Barb. Hope you had a great day. Barb and I have been friends since I was about 12 years old, and anyone wanting to do the math...I am now 51 yrs old. Barb lived down the street from me and I stayed there almost every Friday night. I was the maid of honor in her wedding and our kids are the same age. Her first son, Phil, was born in Nov. and my daughter was born in Dec. Six and a half years later, my son Cory came along in July and right behind him in August came her second son Christopher. We may go months without seeing or talking to each other but I know that for me, her and her husband Phil are always there... I hope they realize that I would always be there for them also.   Now on with the post......This is Holly, my niece, daughter of my youngest brother Mark. Holly is one of those people that there is not much she can't do....sing, act, play piano, sports and grades. So I was n

This is my marco shot for today. Caught this beauty a couple of weeks ago when the magnolia trees were in bloom. Aren't they just such a perfect bloom? Thanks for stopping in.....again!

A shot I caught when I was out shooting with my niece last weekend. I am always scanning everywhere I go to see if there is something worth shooting. Might not always have my Nikon with me but alot of times I can catch it with the point and shoot..... or file it back to return to with the big camera for the best shot. Thanks for stopping in,
