Project 365 5-3 through 5-16-2013

HI!! Oops, looks like I got a bit behind, shocker! Lots going on here in both my personal life and all around me. I wont go into details now, but sometime down the road I will fill you in. I am still going strong with my Project 365. As many of you know, I am focusing mainly on birds and other wildlife for my Project 365, although I will throw in an occasional person, sunset or anything else that I think is worthy. On to the pictures, there will be a lot of them!

Imagine my surprise to see the Solitary Sandpiper in a puddle in the woods. This bird is named this because it migrates alone. Bird number 96 on my Audubon Life List.

Palm Warbler, I was very excited to see this beautiful little bird. Bird number 97 on my life list!

Walking along the railroad tracks to see the eagles, when this little bird came chasing me all puffed up. This is why, 4 beautiful eggs in a nest on the ground. Sadly, raccoons destroyed them a couple days later.

Project 365 4-27 through 5-02-2013

Welcome back!! Not waiting a full 10 days to update this time. It just takes too long. The weather has been up and down, 88 one day and 49 the next, a bit of sun a bit of rain and a lot of clouds. Doesnt stop me from getting out most of the time. I am now 5 months in and still going strong with the photo a day challenge. Looking forward to being able to look back at the end and see how far I have come. Enjoy the weekend!!
