One day I found this baby bird sitting in my front yard. I hurried to grab my camera and get a photograph. He definitely was not able to fly, but he could take steps. And there are plenty of critters in our neighborhood that could have tried to get a hold of him. I found a nest up in the tree above him, so when the Hubs got home, he put him back up there for me. That bird wasn’t going to be some critter’s lunch on my watch! This again is self-developed film and printed photo.

The Hubs and I took a trip to Lake Erie one summer for our anniversary weekend. I have quite the fondness for water and beaches, so those locales are always my first choice for any trip we are able to take. And if there’s a bird around when I have my camera in hand, you can bet I’m going to snap a photo of it. I love photography, and I think birds make excellent subjects.  I’m not sure if the bird pictured below is another variety of Herons or not. It rather looks like one, but I’d never seen one this white before. (It goes without saying that while I love birds, and I am by no means a bird expert.)
