Sunrises the last couple of mornings have been really pretty with a lot of color, so I thought I’d go out to the lake and see if this morning would have color as well.
The waning crescent moon I knew wouldn’t be lined up over the bridge, but I do like the triangle the tree, moon, and bridge make. There was fog outside my house when I left and driving to the lake there were pockets of clear skies, I hoped the lake would have fog and mist. I got lucky with both color, and the fog today.

I got out shooting very little in December, but did get out to a refuge in the Pacific Flyway one day. My friend Dali and I were lucky enough to see this Bald Eagle and another one just outside the frame. In fact I was busy photographing the other Eagle and didn’t see this one at first as it was behind a branch. I heard Dali say,” Is that? What is that? Oh! It’s another Eagle with a catch! Come see!” So of course I moved to see then started photographing this one. He gave me the eye then continued eating. What a neat and exciting bird to see and photograph it is.

It was a great day of birding photography.

Wishing you a happy, healthy, and prosperous 2013!

I know it’s a bit early, but I’m not sure if I’ll be online much the next few days. I hope your celebrations are fun, and you stay safe!

I’ve gone out a couple of evenings taking photos of the Christmas Lights around my neighborhood.
I’m behind with my decorating, but have been shopping!
We got the house lights up today, and I hope to get my tree and mantle decorated this week.
I’ve been distracted repainting my daughter’s old bedroom, and getting it ready for her stay here. She and her hubby are moving in this week to be near me and nearer the hospital while we wait for my first grandchild’s birth.
My daughter has begun dilating so it could be anytime now. We’re very anxious, and excited. I’ll be staying close to home for the foreseeable future.

This is the view from my front window today. It’s been raining in the Bay Area since yesterday morning. Last night the winds kicked up, blowing off nearly all the remaining leaves on my Ginkgo tree. We lost our power for several minutes during the night, and I’ve read some 5000 customers are still without power this morning. Winter has come early it seems.
I’m planning to stay in today and not brave the roads. Stay safe out there if you have to be out!

This is hilarious.
