The Birds Came Today.

Today was the day the blackbirds came. I could hear them from inside my home. The sky was black with them.. and when they were not flying they were thick on the ground like a carpet. Sometimes they can be seen weighing down the limbs of trees.

This is a large congregation of all sorts of blackbirds. They spend the winter together around here by the millions. Yes Millions. In the summer they are quite independent. But in the winter apparently they need company.

I ran outside this morning with my camera and a 200mm lens hoping to capture them and somehow show their numbers. I made my favorite shots into some art that I think you will enjoy. These pictures have a sort of dark winter feeling.. which is the feeling I get this time of year when surrounded by millions of them.

If you would like a signed print let me know.



Can you see the flock of migrating geese in the background?




This is one of the culprits up close.

Trip to Florida Plus Congrats to Keri and Sam.

Great Egrit

So we took a trip this Fall to Florida for Keri and Sams Wedding. A Small intimate wedding in Miami. We took the whole family down for a little R&R after the wedding and decided to spend most of our time on the Beach. We learned quickly that the kids love the beach, instead of going to Disney World and other Florida attractions.. sand and water as all we needed for a really fun Vacation.

For many of you this is the first post you have ever read that focus a bit on our family. I'll call these "life Posts", consider them a bit of insight into our family. We want you to get to know us and witness exactly what makes us tick. Keep yourself coming back for more and feel free to comment.

Keri and Sam really had a nice wedding. Small, with a lot of close family and friends. I really enjoyed traveling all the way from Virginia to capture their special day.
