About Me

My photo
I am usually typing on a computer most of the day, but today I am trying my hand at a new project: My 2011 365-Day Photo Journey. I gained a love for photography when I was required to take a fine arts class for college--I chose photography. The course required a lot of work--Professor Loehr saw to that--but it opened my eyes to a new world. It's been many years since I took that class and I don't know how much I actually remember, but following Laura Delagal's 365 Photo Journey and watching my niece's love for taking pictures has peeked my interested in photography again. Although I don't have a professional camera, I did receive a really nice Sony digital (point-and-shoot) camera from my sweetie for Christmas this year. Going through some difficult times in my life, I thought that undertaking my own 365-day photo journey might be a way to relieve a little stress and have some fun with my new toy. Through this journey I will capture some of life's joy and its pain, but I will also be able to refocus the lens of my life on the many wonderful things that God has created. Well, here goes. Wish me luck!

Day 126 - May 6, 2011





I knew that I was having to replace the bird seed in both of the feeders almost every day, well now I know why!  I knew that those pesky squirrels had gotten up into my bird feeder but I didn't think they could get into the neighbors'. (I suppy the feed for this feeder too, since the new neighbors don't feed the birds.) Man, was I every so wrong. That squirrel shimmied right up that pole so fast it would make your head swim!!!  Hmmm . . .  I wanted to knocked him off of that feeder and make his head swim.

Of course, I barely got this photo, when he jumped off of the feeder and headed over near the tree. There were 3 squirrels on the ground playing around on the ground, chasing each other, eating nuts, and my bird seed!  So, between the squirrels and what I think Laura Delegal called cow birds (I confused them with the house finches I had seen, although I'm not sure how), my feeders have been ransacked!!!  This is giving me a few photo opps, but not exactly what I had in mind.  I will have to figure out a way to get rid of these pesky creatures.  Any suggestions?
