Capturing the year one day at a time.
A short road trip to Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania was planned today for a business luncheon. In the outskirts of town, on a windy country road we arrived to the restaurant. As luck would have it, I had the forethought to throw my Canon G12 into the car. Hoping to […]
Last night’s webinair was a lot of fun, and all it did was motivate me even more to get out there and keep photographing birds. This afternoon, I stalked my front yard for a bit. Although the hummingbird and gold finch were more concerned about what I was […]
