I hadn't shot in so long I had trouble seeing, and just felt rusty. I still got a couple of reasonable shots though. http://scottsblog.my-expressions.com/archives/1708_1862910941/239288 shussey 2007-06-26T19:11:11Z 2007-06-26T19:11:11Z <a href="http://scottsblog.my-expressions.com/archives/1708_1862910941/239288" style="border:0;"><img src="http://my-expressions.com/up_media/1848/pblog/1689/et_1182903085.jpg"/></a><br> We're back. We were in New Brunswick for the week at a Freeman Patterson/Andre Gallant/Terry Adair workshop. It was a really good trip, and I got a lot out of the workshop. I'll post some photos over the next few days. http://scottsblog.my-expressions.com/archives/1708_1862910941/236828 shussey 2007-06-15T14:21:29Z 2007-06-15T14:21:29Z <a href="http://scottsblog.my-expressions.com/archives/1708_1862910941/236828" style="border:0;"><img src="http://my-expressions.com/up_media/1848/pblog/1689/et_1181935303.jpg"/></a><br> Still being a slacker... We're on vacation next week, but I hope to come back with some good pics. http://scottsblog.my-expressions.com/archives/1708_1862910941/230904 shussey 2007-05-22T21:07:16Z 2007-05-22T21:07:16Z <a href="http://scottsblog.my-expressions.com/archives/1708_1862910941/230904" style="border:0;"><img src="http://my-expressions.com/up_media/1848/pblog/1689/et_1179886060.jpg"/></a><br> Another bird from Tawas. This guy got pretty close. http://scottsblog.my-expressions.com/archives/1708_1862910941/229990 shussey 2007-05-18T19:23:24Z 2007-05-18T19:23:24Z <a href="http://scottsblog.my-expressions.com/archives/1708_1862910941/229990" style="border:0;"><img src="http://my-expressions.com/up_media/1848/pblog/1689/et_1179534222.jpg"/></a><br> Cheesecake alert! There's a couple of fox dens in the park we were at, and this time of year the kits are out exploring. This guy came down the trail, saw us, stopped and looked at us, and then went off into the brush. http://scottsblog.my-expressions.com/archives/1708_1862910941/229786 shussey 2007-05-17T20:02:02Z 2007-05-17T20:02:02Z <a href="http://scottsblog.my-expressions.com/archives/1708_1862910941/229786" style="border:0;"><img src="http://my-expressions.com/up_media/1848/pblog/1689/et_1179450141.jpg"/></a><br> A Kinglet. There were about 5 zillion of them at the point; hopping around the trees, and sometimes hovering in the air, to catch bugs. They are really neat birds. Most of the birdwatchers at the point didn't pay them much attention since they are so common, but I could watch them all day. I didn't get any pictures of the pelican. It was really far away, and I could just tell what it was through the binoculars. It was still neat to see though. http://scottsblog.my-expressions.com/archives/1708_1862910941/229331 shussey 2007-05-15T17:54:07Z 2007-05-15T17:54:07Z <a href="http://scottsblog.my-expressions.com/archives/1708_1862910941/229331" style="border:0;"><img src="http://my-expressions.com/up_media/1848/pblog/1689/et_1179269664.jpg"/></a><br> We saw a lot of birds at Tawas this year, more than I think I've seen before. Of course part of that is probably because I am more knowledgeable than I have been in the past. I know more about the birds i am seeing, and more about where to find them. There was even a pelican, which is a pretty rare occurrence on Lake Huron. Someone told me there was a pelican, and where to see it, and I just looked at them in disbelief. There it was though, out on a sandbar in the lake. http://scottsblog.my-expressions.com/archives/1708_1862910941/229121 shussey 2007-05-14T18:00:18Z 2007-05-14T18:00:18Z <a href="http://scottsblog.my-expressions.com/archives/1708_1862910941/229121" style="border:0;"><img src="http://my-expressions.com/up_media/1848/pblog/1689/et_1179183636.jpg"/></a><br> Okay, I have been a total slacker photographically for several weeks. This past weekend, I had not excuses though. It was our annual trip to Tawas for the spring migration. I took a ton of photos, and like it or not there will be a lot of bird photos here over the next few days. This is a female ruby throated hummingbird. The female does not have the ruby throat that the male does, but they do have the same iridescent feathers. http://scottsblog.my-expressions.com/archives/1708_1862910941/226763 shussey 2007-05-04T06:09:35Z 2007-05-04T06:09:35Z <a href="http://scottsblog.my-expressions.com/archives/1708_1862910941/226763" style="border:0;"><img src="http://my-expressions.com/up_media/1848/pblog/1689/et_1178276981.jpg"/></a><br> Friday at last. http://scottsblog.my-expressions.com/archives/1708_1862910941/226187 shussey 2007-05-01T05:06:05Z 2007-05-01T05:06:05Z <a href="http://scottsblog.my-expressions.com/archives/1708_1862910941/226187" style="border:0;"><img src="http://my-expressions.com/up_media/1848/pblog/1689/et_1178013971.jpg"/></a><br> There's a handful of red trilliums this this year. I'll be traveling for a couple of days...
