Inside Day

I awoke this morning to the sound of rain. In drought stricken northern California it is sweet music to our ears. Perhaps I'll sneak in some photography during some breaks in the rain today? Otherwise I've got some doors I'm still working on refinishing. They have been sanded and stained out of doors and now all they need is some varnish. What a great inDOOR project! Such a great play on words. To all of my viewers you will have to make due with a Douglas Tree Squirrel from yesterday. Here it is peering out from the knothole feeder claiming the feeder as its own.May you have a blessed day, chris This image was created with a Canon 7D and a Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM at 400mm. AV mode,ISO 800, F 5.6 at 1/30th of a sec. Supported on my old venerable Manfrotto 190 XPROB tripod with a heavy duty Bogen ballhead.

Locals

This morning I went out to the photoblind in the front yard for a little over a half an hour. I photographed the Chestnut Backed Chickadees as they came and went to the feeder. Just as I was about ready to pack it up two Douglas Tree Squirrels showed up and had a very brief battle on the ground for who would have control of the feeder. After the battle the winner quickly took up residence in the feeder and I was able to take numerous images of it. God's love and blessings to all, chris
