My New Neighbor

I am in the midst of selling my home and moving into an apartment complex.

I was there Sunday measuring for window treatments and met this fellow. 

He said hello.

There are a few pics of my new place over at The Other Blog

For The Birds

These shots were all taken within a few moments. A storm was rolling in, the skies were rapidly changing and the birds were in an uproar.

Late Day At The Marina

The sun was coming in and out of clouds before preparing to set for the day.

The light at the marina made me happy

A Crust of Bread and ...

I watched big and small birds share a crust of bread near the marina. 

They are endlessly entertaining

As my granddaughter would say - It's good to share

Bird On A Wire

A few shots of one the sweeties that hang out near my driveway

The Nest

Looks a bit like a star to me

Cool Clicks

At the Swimming Hole

There was some drama at the foot of my neighbor's driveway

I'll just flex a bit and relax

Maybe a little pacing

Gee, that's an interesting cloud formation. I'll have to check that out later

Maybe if I just ignore him he'll get out

What? Yeah it is a pretty cloud. You getting out any time soon?

Fine then, I'll get all the good worms

CAMERA CRITTERS

Eye Catcher

I was driving home after a long day concentrating solely on the road ahead when a blur of vivid red caught my eye. I came out of my funk and pulled over to walk back a bit and take these two shots ...

I include the 2nd shot because the bird is so still and seems to be staring at the house; I find that so endearing

Ruby Tuesday 2

Holding On and Hanging Out

the first two shots were taken recently near the marina
the last shot is from February, before the trees grew in to conceal my backyard friend

look at his little feet!

are we gonna sit here all day? let's go mess with some gulls

CAMERA CRITTERS

Gulls - A - Palooza

The gulls at the marina near me are an endless source of smiles and photo ops. There are  WEEKEND REFLECTIONS  and SHADOW SHOTS 2  for these wonderful CAMERA CRITTERS

The tough guys usually meet me in the parking lot.

The General

Always checking his troops

Making sure they save me a spot

Some of the gulls prefer to meditate alone, I make sure to give them space

Others are more sociable

Incoming!

What the hell are you flappin' about?

Oh just ignore those two

After Hurricane Irene the marina owners along with the township and the business alliance decided to repair the docks and create a walkway that will lead to a small beach that is right now being cultivated.

The gulls appear to be pleased with this. They discussed it at their last meeting.  

The committee

Of course there's always one who has to dissent.

 

Have a great weekend
