SOTD – Day 04

Got out early today and went looking for owls. Hit and miss given that there are likely eggs in the nest so I knew that finding an owl sitting out on a limb wasn't a certainty (is anything with wildlife a certainty?). I ended up finding some other critters to say cheese though. While I don't usually take pictures of mallards, this particular one caught my eye as it was walking along the top of a low running waterfall.

SOTD – Day 03

Day 3 of the Habit building photo exercise. Got home before sunset Friday and started by taking a few shots in the front yard, including one that was a finalist for the chosen shot. But then moved to the back yard and took some shots of our already budding willow (but the plant theme has already been abused). Then I found a wild / possessed animal (not a cat!) that was begging to have its picture taken while playing one of its favorite games.
