When I’m out and about I try to carry my camera with me. I am by no means a professional photographer though. When I see something unique I grab my camera, fumble with the settings and try to shoot as quickly as I can. This past weekend I spotted these two beautiful birds.
A great blue heron walking very slowly on a dock.
A beautiful red cardinal sitting high in a tree chirping like crazy in the morning.
I’ve learned you have to be really quick to shoot pictures of the local wildlife because I only got one shot of each before they flew away. I wouldn’t have made it as a gun slinger in the wild west.
