Guessing Game

Sometimes my blog feels like a family journal and I want to remember this event, but don't always feel like sharing with the whole world. I create a blog book every year and this page should be included (of course, I'll add my own details to the finished product .... my director's cut).

Sorry for the mystery, I'll share privately with people I know on Facebook or if you're burning with curiosity and you're not on facebook.... shoot me an email.

Bird Shoot

Bird watching might seem dull to some people, but add a camera and a VERY nice borrowed lens.... well total awesomeness is the only way to describe it. I met at another photo club member's house, he happens to live on the edge of a protected wildlife reserve. This time of year seems to be less busy in the bird world, but I managed to get some great shots from his back porch. The lens is worth about $7000 so it was a real treat when he let me hook my camera up to it. Here are a couple of my favorites.

On to State!

Remember that photo Jared entered into the Reflections Contest a couple of months ago? If not, click here. Tonight was the regional contest and he WON 1st PLACE!!! Yay for Jared! They spelled his first name kinda funky (Jarad) so they're going to change that and send us a new certificate. Now his photo will go to State so we're keeping our fingers crossed for him. He was far more excited about this than he acted in the video below and could hardly wait to drag his grandparents up onto the stage so they could see his photo with the blue ribbon attached.
