Day 153/365

     Sunday's belated post is one I took from my mom's car as we were driving out to her cabin in northeast Ohio. You can see great blue herons almost any time you drive out there, and this past weekend was no different. I wasn't quite ready when I took this first shot, but I like it anyways. 

Day 79/365

      Tonight one of my friends and I went out to Headlands Beach to try and catch the Transit of Venus. We were too late to see it, but we did get to see a pretty nice sunset. I took some audio of the seagulls that were keeping us and the rest of the beach-goers company. All in all, it what a lovely way to end my twenty-second birthday!

Day 56/365

     I took a break from helping my mom garden today to take a quick picture of a cardinal that had been hanging out on our fence a few feet away from where we had been weeding. We weren't sure if he was just looking for food or if he has a nest in the Birch tree that's a few feet away from where this picture was taken. 

     Happy Mothers' Day!

Day 46/365

     I got a rare Thursday off from the portrait studio and decided to go to the zoo! I haven't been in years, so I was really looking forward to it. Then the weather powers-that-be decided to have the temperatures today go into the 90s. It was an absolutely beautiful day, just a bit too hot for me, and apparently too hot for 3/4 of the animals at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo as well. It was still a fun day, but I think I'll have to plan a trip back when/if we get a more seasonably spring day. The flamingos were still out in full force though!

     I also made a triptych with photos of the African Elephants from today too! It can be seen on my Flickr page here. I'm currently replacing my website's editing software, so unfortunately my website won't be updated with new photos for another week or two. After being sent the wrong version of the program, I'm now waiting on the replacement to come in.

Day 45/365

     Springtime means spring noises! Birds chirping, breeze blowing... and lawn mowers mowing. For today's post I stood on the front porch of my mom's house and just recorded the ambient sounds of the birds chirping and flying around and our neighbor working on his yard. 

Day 31/365

     My apologies for today's entry being posted so late. I took this picture earlier this morning and then got called into work the rest of the day at the portrait studio so I didn't get a chance to download my images until just now. Anyways; I know next to nothing about birds, but from the five minutes I just spent poking around Google images, I think this little guy is some kind of swallow. Whatever he is, I liked his coloring and he was hanging around for a bit so he became entry number thirty-one!
