Nature Shots

I recently visited my grandparents in Pacific Grove and pulled out my camera. I only got a few photos of the ocean this time, but I got several of a seagull and my grandma's flowers. To view them larger, just click on the picture. Enjoy!

Isn't the expression cute?

I was so happy with the clarity of this one.

Believe it or not, I didn't take these in sepia. Aren't they cool?

This is probably my favorite of the flower pictures.

I like the framing and colors on this one.

What do you think? Which is your favorite? Any tips for me? Also, as a side note, now that Camp NaNo is over, if you would like to enter the writing challenge but weren't able, I will still be accepting entries for a few more days. Thanks for stopping by!

The Wonders of Spring

You won't believe what my sister and I just found. We were collecting leaves for my Biology Class and happened to see a cracked open egg on the ground and a whole egg beside it. Of course, we set out to find the nest and when we did . . . let's just say I've never see anything like this before!

Opening the bush...

A peek inside the nest...

Where's Mama?

Mom watching close by

 Aren't these two little guys adorable? Watching them cry for "Mom" was so touching. I can't even really explain it. :) It was like a miracle.
