I took this pic and thought, eh, this one ain't that great. Well, I looked at it today, and thought, hey, it's not bad after a good "crop", lol. Especially when you look at it close up.
After school I took the kids to the local park to feed the ducks some stale break. I got lucky and caught a Great Blue Heron. Of course these shots are not as vivid as I'd like, but getting a bird to hold still is a trick in its self. I tried to sneak up on him...
Thought I'd maybe start adding where I'm taking these pics. This one was taken out in front of my bank. I had just paid off our credit card bill, thanks to our tax return. No blowing it on something-anything. Feels good. I feel like a real grown up, lol.
I know Poodles uses a Pansy for her avatar. But, I *didn't* know, until just until a couple years ago, that it was the symbol for freethinkers. Even more funny, I somehow acquired myself a yellow pansy pin, and I can't even remember who gave it to me. It makes me wonder if it was just bought because it was pretty, or with the symbolism in mind.
Born in South Carolina, raised in West Texas, spent my teens, up until I was in my 30's, in Chicagoland. Met my husband, got married and moved to California. We had two kids, bought a house, and we're living happily ever after with a dog and cat thrown in for good measure. All that stuff in the middle, is just icing.
