Male Cardinal



I enjoy feeding the birds in our backyard which is something that I do mostly in the winter. This little tree is only about ten feet from our patio window so I can set up the Nikon D3 with a 300 mm telephoto lens and really get some nice close shots of the birds. This little tree is close to the feeder so the birds like to sit in the tree deciding if it is safe to go onto the feeder.

Christmas Storm of 2009



Like most of the midwest, Sheldon received about 20 inches of snow in this storm. Joan and I went out just as it was starting to get light and had so much fun taking photographs of the snow. This photograph was taken with our new camera which is a Canon 7D.
