2019 I made a few more shots... added WAY more to the list than images I made.
But the one biggest thing I discovered, was, I need to Make Time To Shoot! I definitely need to make time to shoot.
2020? We all know how 2020 and 2021 have been! Covid, and Quarantine did a number on a lot of travel and therefore, a lot of time for shooting. But, I found a way for some photography. And obviously, some gardening, since that helped with food during the crisis.
Still on the list: more long-exposure waterfalls, more wildlife to shoot, Cape Cod Lighthouses, more species, and more wish-list places to shoot. Come to think of it, what's not on the list?
the List:
More Birding
✔ Screech Owl
✔ Great Horned
Burrowing Owl
✔ Barred Owl
Barn Owl
✔ Snowy Owl
Great Grey Owl
✔ Short-earred Owl SUCCESS in 2020
Long-earred Owl
hell... almost any owl
Raptors, any raptors
Bald Eagle
Sharp Shinned Hawk
✔ Coopers Hawk
Red Shouldered
✔ Red Tailed Hawk
✔ Mute Swan
More... more... more Raptors

I know, I know, I have a lot on my list... some of it is easy, and some not so...I gotta get my little Bluefy Butt in Gear!
Along the way, I want to meet up with any and all of you. I want to spend some time, learning about your worlds... take me to the places you love most, and show your world's to me. I'd love to meet, and shoot your love's as well!
Always, I strive to give back
To the animals and birds around me
to put more plants in than I take out
And be a good steward for the world around me!
