Feral Russian Blue...

Had not seen this guy before. Was very skittish
and could see me and my daughter moving around inside the house. Wish I would
have had a longer lens. Beautiful cat though.

Pilated Woodpecker

My girlfriend and I were out walking in the woods near her house here in New Hope and we spotted him. It's a male. And it was big. I was lucky to get this shot as it was only resting on trees for about 2 seconds before flying to the next. They are so large and fast they must have large ranges.

Just had an exhausting but FUN X-Mass

Huge bash at the GF's last night...I'm still recovering. And then X-mass festivities with family today. Some snaps are up in the attached gallery.

Our 1st good snow of the season...

We had nearly 1 foot of snow Saturday evening. Made for some beautiful scenery the next day. Gallery is up for your enjoyment.

Another from my visit Sanibel Island...

I have some really good photographs from the trip. This one however I just can't stop looking at. Technically it's a mess. But something about the blurred bird in the foreground and our in-focus friend in the background just works. It gives the image a depth and some personality...or perhaps life and a bit of wonder about the little guy in the background swooping in. Something that a technically superior shot of two birds wouldn't convey.

This is why I love photography...the occasional surprises and discovery of how a subject and situation can evolve into an amazing image.
