Bird Count

I took part in the "The Great Backyard Bird Count" over the weekend. I have stated before it is fun to watch the birds. We had a lot of Tufted Titmouse, Cardinals and various sparrows visit our feeders along with some of their feather friends. Besides having paper and pencil handy, I also had my camera. I know what a surprise. Here are some of the visitors during the time I counted. Of course we also had squirrels visit at the same time.

Gettysburg

Looking ahead to next year, Celebrate Gettysburg asked the photographers if they had any winter scenes from the recent snowfalls. So today I went north with Shirley, Becca and the granddaughters. I shot some images along MD 97 coming and going and also in Adams County. I captured some good images on the battlefield as the snow was blowing around. There were some neat icicles at the Outlet stores and some footprints to a riding horse which I thought was funny. We had the battlefield to ourselves which made it easy to shoot. I know I have said it before, but winter is a good time to visit the battlefield with a camera. It was a great afternoon for all of us, even if we were tired when we got home. A big thank you to Becca for driving and putting up with me stopping to take photographs.
