The Mountains Are Calling...

Robin's Nest

Outdoor and nature photography is my favorite. Only problem is, living in town doesn't provide very many great photo opportunities. So when there is one, I am not about to pass it up!

A couple weeks ago I was sitting outside enjoying the morning with my parents over a cup of coffee.  We noticed a Robin working hard to build her nest in our Magnolia tree. Naturally, I wanted to get a photo of it so I pulled up a ladder. 

A couple weeks later I checked it again and there were two eggs!

I really wanted to get a photo of the baby birds and several times I set up the ladder but the Mamma bird was very upset that I was getting so near her nest and kept swooping down at me and chirping loudly. 

Finally I got up the courage to actually climb the ladder (despite my fear of being attacked) and got a photo of the baby! It’s not the sharpest or most wonderful picture but I was in a hurry!

Autumn Sunset

I had the privilege of capturing this beautiful sunset along Leasburg Rd. a couple of evenings ago. I could not help but be in awe of this beautiful masterpiece by the Ultimate Artist. Isn't it spectacular?  

Even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these....
