Even this cormorant was enjoying the beautiful day!  I was lucky enough to spend the afternoon with him.

Eagle Admiration

My admiration is for the eagle  – everything it symbolizes and all the sacrifices made to defend our country.

Zebra Butterflies

The Butterfly House at Brookgreen Gardens is open for the season.  I visited this weekend and got some great shots.  I think these are zebra butterflies.  If I’m wrong, please let me know.

Photo Challenge – Dinnertime

This week, we are asked to share an image inspired by dinnertime.

Seagulls, Pelicans 19

Dinnertime Fight

Tonight’s main draw is a winner take all fight over the same piece of fish.

In this corner is the smaller but feisty seagull.  In the other corner is the larger pelican with a huge beak and wing advantage. 

Despite having home court advantage, the seagull lost in a split decision.

Black and White?

A Contradiction – Black and White?

It was actually a bright sun shiny day but you can’t tell from this picture.  It looks cold and bleak to me but that couldn’t be further from the truth.

Outdoor Seating

This couple had a front row seat for the show.  If it hadn’t been for her pink jacket, I would have overlooked them completely.

Photo Challenge – Dance

In this week’s challenge, we are asked to share a photo of something that appears like dance and the focus can be on objects, animals, or people.

Black Crowned Night Herons

These herons strutted round and round the tree – intent with their eyes to the ground and never missing a beat.

Photo 101 – Home

For our first assignment in Photo 101, we were asked to post a picture of what “home” means to us. 

My dad was in the Air Force and we moved around a lot.  So I don’t have one vision of home as a child unless we count my grandparents’ home – but we were only able to visit there once or twice a year.

I moved to the beach in 2000 and am so lucky to call this home now.  

Welcome to my home!
