Nature in Washington

So, I wanted to take my daughter outside to enjoy the beautiful weather.  When I got out to the front lawn I found a little mess.  Instead of just asking the guys to clean it up I had my husband hold our daughter and chased down my camera.  These were not the images I thought I might capture today, or any day for that matter, but I shot where I was and got what I got.  Check 'em out.

Uh oh, why are there feathers on our lawn?

Really?  More feathers?  I wonder when Gizmo (Grammie's cat) caught another bird?

Oh my goodness, not what I expected to see.  I thought there might be a little bird laying in the grass.  Instead, I only found a leg and some internal organs.  Ewww.

It's crazy, but I stood there with my camera and was totally amazed by this little creature.  I thought I would be totally grossed out by him but I just wanted to shoot more.  Am I crazy?  I've been behind my lens before and been totally detached from the event in front of me.  It's like this switch triggers in my brain that just says, "how's the light, what do I want to focus on, am I going to get a good shot?"  I love being so comfortable behind my lens, it's like I was meant to have a camera in my hands. 

Anyway, just wanted to share a little piece of my day. 

I plan on increasing my posts, increasing my shooting, and talking more about getting my business rolling forward more now that summer vacation has landed.  In fact, I just made a new logo for my business.
