Bath Time!

"Bath Time!"

Judy Royal Glenn Photography 

While I was on vacation, I watched this chic-a-dee for several days come back to the same chair for a bath.  I was usually sitting on the backporch swing and kept my camera next to me hoping I would get a photo.  It is not a good photo, but it bring back memories....that is what photography is all about, capturing a moment in time:) 

Daddy's Tree

"Daddy's Tree"

This is my neighbor's tree.  She told me this was planted before her daddy died.  She refers to it as "Daddy's tree."

More Seeds Please!

"More Seeds Please!"

I watched this chipmunk for a while as he scurried around below a bird feeder looking for sunflower seeds.  He would go beneath the leaves and pop his head up every once in a while.  After loading his cheeks with seeds, he would run across the street, down a dead tree, on a tree stump, then into his hole to deposit his goods.  He repeated this several times.  The feeders at the Botanical Garden are running very low on seeds, so he says, "More seeds please!"

A Visitor

We have a neighborhood cat that comes to our house once in a while for a visit.  My daughter and I played with her in the front yard.  She is a pretty cat, and her kitten is pretty too:)

Tuckered Out!

Today was National wear red day to support the fight against heart disease in women!   Ginger says, "Go Red for women's heart disease!" She sported her red & white cheerleading outfit today....pom poms too!

Dangling

Back in November, while there was still fall color, I set out within the tiny world of my neighborhood to capture nature's beautiful colors.

Who Am I?

"Who Am I?"

I went toThe State Botanical Garden of Georgia yesterday, and they hard the bird feeders full, so the birds and chipmunks were happy!

 

 I have a hard time identifying birds and usually get it wrong, so I will not try.  Anyone know "Who Am I?"  A friend answered for me:   American goldfinch in his/her winter color.

Puppy Dog Eyes

I have used this week to highlight Ginger the new puppy that my husband's aunt recently bought.   Another post can be found here. This is my obsessive photo shoot of her:)

We stuck her in a planter which was about 18 inches off of the ground.

She was intrigued by us whistling.

"My" "Barnyard Baby."  I wish she was mine:)

My son gave her tiny treats to get her to stay in the pot, hence the reason her tongue is out:)

It's a big world out there!

 She was like a jack in the box, popping her head in and out of the pot:)

Peek-a-boo!

I'm worn out!  Are we finished yet?

Can I get down please? 

Hopefully, you were not too bored looking at Ginger's photo shoot!  Yes, I am obsessed with her!

When I'm Big Enough...

"When I'm Big Enough..."

Meet Ginger; she belongs to my husband's aunt. She is only 7 or 8 weeks old. This was the first day she had been on grass.  She loves being outside!  I am going to use this week to highlight photos of her:)

"When I'm Big Enough".....I want to help too!!

Paperbark Maple

 I am trying to branch out with my photography. My favorite things to photograph are still flowers and birds......especially hummingbirds. Since flowers are limited and hummers haven't migrate back yet, it is a great time to search for different things. The color and texture of this Paperbark Maple caught my eye at my favorite place in the world: The State Botanical Garden of Georgia!

Acorn Popsicle

DEAD END

"DEAD END"

I was extremely intrigued by this sign, so much so when I drove past it, I turned around and went back to photograph it.  I had never seen anything like it before.  The implications are many......I'll leave you to ponder them.

Early Risers

"Early Risers"

I am not an early riser, but this particular morning a had a great mission in mind.  It was the morning I was looking for the Snowy Owl on St. Simons Island, Georgia.  My dad suggested I take pictures of the sun rising. I did so then hunted for the Snowy Owl.

I posted the photos of the Snowy Owl at sunrise, but in case you did not see them, here is one shot:)

For those who are also having problems with Blogger uploading photos, this was quoted from the Blogger Team which enabled me to post today!!  "In the meantime, you can work around this issue by using a different browser (such as Chrome or Firefox) or temporarily switching to the Edit HTML mode of the compose editor."  I wrote in the compose mode then posted the photo under HTML.

Look Straight Ahead

Happy New Year to everyone!  I thought this photograph was very appropriate to post today.  The lone flower stands strong even though all around it there is no life.   No matter how hard or easy 2012 was we can fix our eyes forward and press on:)

"Look straight ahead, and fix your eyes on what lies before you."  (NLT, Proverbs 4.25)
