A Ride on the Beach, Ocean, Horseback ride, Horse, Waves, Ride

I processed this shot pretty heavily and eventually decided I liked this one the most. It has a sort of desolate feel to it that I liked. What do you think did I over-process it?

Craisin, Black Pug, Puppy

Here is a photo of my brothers new Pug puppy! His name is Craisin since he is wrinkly like a raisin and also crazy when he plays.

Walking Cigar, Pandorus Sphinx, Caterpillar

While hiking I came across this caterpillar that looked like a walking cigar! After some research online I learned that it is a caterpillar for the Pandora Sphinx moth. To see what they look like all grown up check out wikipedia.

Heading South, Winter, Birds, V

Taken last weekend. When you see the birds starting to fly south for the winter it is a sad sign that Summer is almost over.

Heading South

Squirrel Lookout, grass

Looks like these Squirrels may have a system where one looks for food while the other acts as a lookout.

I know it looks like I was laying on the ground when I took this but in fact the Squirrels were on the top of a hill and I was standing pretty much eye level with them at the bottom of the hill.  I just zoomed way in! It was alot easier then getting all dirty on the ground!

Pigeons, Ocean

Meet the new Double-Mint gum twins!  This was a beach side photo-shoot for their new ad campaign.  :D

Camera Shy Ducks, Ocean, Ducks

These Ducks tucked their heads in when I came near. I think they where cleaning themselves but it looks like they are trying to hide! Or maybe they were mad at me for interupting their romantic seaside date so they gave me the cold shoulder? :)

Spring Cleaning, Tree, Bird, Wings, Cleaning, black capped chickadee

I caught this Black Capped Chickadee making himself look nice for the other Chickadees!

Viewfinder Toll Collector, Maine, Nubble Lighthouse, Seagull, Ocean, Lighthouse

Forget a quarter this seagull was not going to let anyone use this viewfinder at the Nubble Lighthouse unless they paid him with some treats!

Plymouth MA, Seagull, All Along the Watchtower

All along the watchtower, princes kept the view
While all the women came and went, barefoot servants, too.

Outside in the distance a wildcat did growl,
Two riders were approaching, the wind began to howl.

Pineapple, Persian Cat, Stare Off

My Persian cat was infatuated with this pineapple and kept rubbing up against it and smelling it. Here he is challenging it to a staring contest :)

I have been a bit under the weather the past few days that is why I have not been posting. Hopefully I will be back to 100% soon and will be able to post more often!

Woody Woodpecker, Snow, Woodpecker,Winter,Tree

I took this photo of a woodpecker yesterday afternoon during a snowstorm.

Ivan the Terrible, Russian Box Turtle, Turtle, Sink

I visited my brother a couple of weeks ago and here is a photo I took of his Russian Box Turtle named Ivan the Terrible. As you can see Ivan the Terrible is not so scary when he is taking a bath! :)

Snow Bird,Bird,Feathers,Winter

I took this photo just as this cold bird was shaking the snow off of his feathers. I wouldnt want to be him on a snowy day like today! Also I want to wish everyone a Happy New Year!

Bluebird

It was a dreary, cold, drizzly day today with not much of any color outside when I looked up from my computer and this Bluebird was right outside my window! We don’t get Bluebirds to often here (or of least I don’t see them often) so this was a real treat. This photo was taken through my window so considering that I don’t think it came out bad at all.

Cat,Tongue,Portrait

I think my cat is trying to tell me he is sick of me taking his photo :D

No More Photos!

Goat,Silhouette

At the same farm where I took a photo of this relaxed goat that I posted awhile back they have this very neat ramp system that the goats can climb up if they want. At the top of the ramp there is pulley system that people can put feed into a little cup at the bottom and lift it up to them. Its really pretty cool!

A Mountain to Climb

relaxed goat, farm, hay

I went to a farm last weekend and this goat was taking a nice break from doing whatever it is that goats do!

Goose, Fall, Autumn, Pond, Leaves

I had the chance to visit my brother today and we went to Borderland State Park in Easton MA. The foliage was near its peak and the colors were amazing! I only had my new Panasonic TZ5 with me and not my Pentax DSLR but I think it performed well. Here is a shot of a goose in one of the ponds there that was stretching his wings.

BTW I want to thank everyone for your kind comments for my last post as it reached the 20 comment mark and I think that is a record for me! So thanks for the comments everyone!

Cat, Roll Over, Bed

Here is a shot of one of my cats as he was rolling over. He is an indoor cat so instead of being the King of the Jungle he is the King of the House! :)
