Almost spring

Today was a spring day, at least it felt like it. The sun was out, the air was warm, and the birds were out singing. After doing yard work and cleaning up the mess that winter has made, I came in to look at some photos and maybe post some. I found some that I took last October. Even though I took them in fall, they still remind me of what is around the corner. My goals this spring are to get some shots of people in the awesome weather, take some nice flower/landscape pictures, and catch a robin or two. I have never photographed birds, but it might be fun!

Oh, one more thing. Last night Kylie and I decided to get some chipotle for dinner and when we came home the neighbors were out in the street. I asked them what they were doing and they said they were waiting for the space shuttle to fly over. Well, sure enough, a bright light went streaming across the sky. This was probably one of the coolest experiences I have had. Even though it was such a small light and you couldn't tell what it was, the thought of astronauts in space flying over my head, many many miles over my head, was mind boggling. It is suppose to fly over again tonight, so we will see if I can get any pics with my zoom. But for now, enjoy the promises of spring.

And this one is one I took a couple days ago. This little guy was just cruisin along one of my mom's plants. He seemed to be enjoying the day as well.

I worked on some pictures of my cousins today. I really like how they turned out so I will be posting them within the next couple of days, so don't forget to come back!

Update: So the shuttle graced our skies once more. Unfortunately my 300mm zoom isn't strong enough! Here is what it looked like though...
