Finally the sun returns!

After several days of rain (seriously thwarting our camping plans by the way),the sun finally made an appearance.  I took the opportunity to take a walk along a path close to home where I had seen lots of birds in the past but never had my camera to capture them.  They were not altogether cooperative with me, but I got some decent pictures none-the-less.  I hope you enjoy them 🙂

Daily Prompt: Tables Turned

 

My husband has been very encouraging about my love for taking pictures.  He bought me a Canon Rebel EOS for our wedding and a very nice Sigma 18-200mm lens for our anniversary.  I am beginning to think he should take up the hobby as well…he always manages to get awesome pictures from just his cell phone camera!  For this daily prompt I’ll show you one such picture…tables turned…photographing the photographer!

Weekly Photo Challenge: Nostalgic

This week’s photo challenge asked us to get nostalgic.  What first came to mind was our trip last year to Gettysburg and Antietam. You can’t help but feel nostalgic visiting historic places and, in my opinion, you can feel the “weight” the land holds in memories.  There were also a few unique things that happened to us while visiting.  My camera had unexplained problems that looked like a thin black arching line through many of my pictures.  It was a new camera and lens and the problem has never occurred again!  We both sensed various energies while there including a heaviness walking up the stairs in the Jenny Wade house and a random name that popped into my head (Charles Collins) who I later found out was a turncoat from Pennsylvania. In any case, we found the trip so special that we cannot wait to return…maybe even in the next few weeks!  I hope the trip is as special as the first.
