Hello everyone!

In 5 more days the submission thread for the January Photo Contest will be posted. I hope everyone is having fun getting their shot!


Lost dog. (Got out of his yard and went roaming. His owner picked him up)




Discarded cat (Was running free when I got here and seems to be the neighborhood cat now. Shot through the fence - kitty isn't too human friendly.)




Tufted Titmouse (I LOVE this bird)





Look at that face! What a great face!






House Finch





Cardinal (male)






Eurasian Collared Dove




Squirrel snub (also shot through the fence - that red impressionist-like blur in the right corner is 3 cardinals flying)

Ouch. Glad you're feeling better. Solly Mack Jan 2013 #4

Been raining for days. Had to wear rain boots in the yard today. It's that bad. More rain on the way.

So much fun to take backyard bird photos.

We have been under various weather watches and I'll have to go to archives for discarded items. Slim pickings, but I should be able to find an entry somewhere.

Bad weather all over it seems. We've had a day or two of sunshine sandwiched between storms. We had a tornado on Christmas day and the weather has been awful since.
