Hello again,
It has been awhile since my last post. I've been feeling exhausted and uninspired, lately. Still, the birds are singing and spring is most definitely here. This first photo is proof of that!
I have managed to get out to the state park and a few other natural areas quite a bit, but there hasn't been much to photograph. I was lucky to find the birds, really. Having a fleible schedule has allowed me to enjoy a little of the warm sunnier days.
Last weekend, I headed down to a small lake in the middle of nowhere. I've seen pelicans there before and knew that they were migrating through. It was a surprise to see so many, this year. They were not fond of being photographed and, even as still and patient as I am, it took about an hour to get some decent photos of the. Eventually, they decided to relocate to a calmer part of the lake and I took a few action shots.
On the way out, I stopped to take photos of a barn. This vulture seemed to be confused as to whether or not I would make a good meal. It circled overhead more than a dozen times! It's not my best photo ever, but the bird was begging for a portrait.
I'm not sure how soon I will be back on to see how the community is doing and post more photos. As I approach my 40th birthday and find myself far from where I'd hoped to be at this point in my life, it has been increasingly difficult to motivate myself to get out.
