After the rain

This was taken the other morn after the thunderstorm...taken with my Canon SX700 HS

Poised for flight...

 Taken several years go...with a little Canon Powershot SX700 HS

Photos from my little camera....

From the Heron Viewing station north of Danville, Illinois...I had stood and watched this Great Blue Heron, and had walked on, but Roger called me back to see this.

 I snapped a few...

but managed to miss the exact moment he ate the fish, but did capture this as it swallowed the fish.

I just have to post a couple more...

I am linking to I'D-Rather-B-Birding....hopefully nothing will happen this time and I will get to visit a few new people.  All photos were taken with my new little Canon SX700HS.

Rainy day barns....

This time for The Barn Collective, I am showing barns taken this past Friday...a dreary, rainy, foggy day.

This is one we see after we leave Crawfordsville...we were going at a good speed when this was taken.  And was taken with my little Canon SX700.  I was pleasantly surprised...

We took a round-about way home...instead of going the usual route, we turned on to Indiana State Road 59 and went south.  This is one that Roger paused for me to snap a shot...an lovely old barn.

If you will notice, you can tell I am shooting through the windshield...again, Roger paused.  We were lucky...there was hardly another soul on the highway.  I have messed with this a bit to get it sharper.

More misty, through the windshield shots...traveling at a good clip on the one above and the one below.

This set of red barns has fascinated me for years.  They are just north of Mansfield, Indiana.

I hope you have a barn, or if you even see someone with a barn post, please encourage them to join us at
The Barn Collective.

The Swan Family

This family of Mute Swans were on the Ontario Mill Dam pond/lake when we were up there in October.  I can't believe I haven't post a pic of them before now.  This was taken across the lake with my little Canon SX 700....I couldn't believe the pic was this good...even with the little help I gave it with Picasa.

A Re-post

I came across the set of photos that these came from while strolling through the archives. I could not resist posting them again. They were taken with a little Canon SX700.  I use it 99% of the time now....it is always in my purse so I have it with me all the time.

I cannot choose just one of this guy/gal.  Do you see 'teeth?'  I do when I look at this top one straight on. 

I am so pleased with these photos from the little camera.

The one above is not cropped at all.

Look at the markings on its legs...you would almost think they were painted.

Homegrown...

I was testing out my little Canon SX700, and took this from my porch.  It is about a 10 or 12 foot from me.  The photo is not cropped at all.
