I have loved photography ever since I was a young
girl and my mom gave me a Kodak Brownie camera to use. Film came on a roll and
the pictures usually came out blurry but I loved it anyway. I sure wish I had
some of the images. The oldest I have are from when I took a class in high
school.
With the advent of digital photography, I have been able to
dive in.
Until a couple of years ago, I made do with a small pocket
camera. Then I got a better Sony Cybershot camera and I really took off. It
also helps that I am surrounded by incredible and beautiful nature. I recently
got a Canon DSLR and after a few months of it sitting (I was intimidated), I have
been learning what it can do.
I frequently post 2 or 3 of my nature photos on my Facebook
pages. The best ones usually go on my art page KmBennett Art.
Today, I got so many pictures I am happy with, that I
decided to post them here.
This morning began with a spectacular sunrise. I barely had
time to snap a few shots through my window before having to leave for work. The
moment I got home I put on the mud boots and grabbed my cameras…
The best thing that happened was… a bald eagle flew right
over me. It was SO cool!
I got a lot of pics of the local turkey vultures who have
returned from their winter’s migration. Last summer they were landing on my
house… very unsettling! This one was
either checking me out, showing off, or both.
While out and about I was also visited by a mallard duck
couple. They wanted to land in the nearby wetland pond but kept going when they
saw me.
Other visitors were this young little robin…
…and a honey bee gathering pollen from the dandelions.
I think I did pretty good today (with a little help from Mother Nature)!
