SmugMug > popular all-time > 11/8/09  Just a fun shot of a Sand Hill Crane silhouette. Shot at the Jasper Pulaski State Park in Indiana.  They are migrating and the current count is just over 10,000 birds.
SmugMug > popular all-time > 10-26-2009 - "Liftoff"  Part of the joy of living in NE Ohio is the raking of leaves and the subsequent jumping into the piles.  "It's a family tradition" to quote Hank.  They look forward to it as soon as they see leaves on the ground.  Yesterday was a perfect opportunity for them to hone their leaf-pile-jumping skills.

Another shot from the Mormon Row Historic District near Jackson, Wyoming.  This place must attract thousands of photographers each year.  Note how the windows have black inserts to prevent reflections (or breakage?).  On the other hand, the sunrise reflected in the windows might have added some more interest to this photo.

I just felt like Ophelia would be left out if I didn't post her picture today:-)  I did shoot 200 cardinal pictures yesterday...a female and a male juvenille, but it was low light and through a window and just not the quality I want to share.  I also took a few abstract glass shots last night.  But, in the end, Ophelia won the POTD slot.  I believe the rescue folks said she had both wing and vision issues.

Yes, I shoot all my pics with a Canon Powershot S3...a point and shoot.  I have a Canon SX10 IS which I pull out on occassion, but I much prefer the S3 for sharpness of detail.  There are a number of reasons I use the S3:  1. Weight of the camera on my neck/back and arms is less.  2. Fear of messing up the threads on real lenses.  3. Cost.  4. I do some crazy things with my camera like take canoe rides with a 4 and 6 year old.  5. The flip LCD which I use OFTEN is a must have for me.  You know, the S3 just works for me:-)  Hopefully you won't think less of my pictures now that you know...  I wasn't hiding it per say, but I wasn't bragging about it either;-)

Thanks for all your wonderful comments on the last two bird pictures.  As always, I thank you for checking out my POTD.  There are a lot of great pics on SmugMug, and I enjoy looking at everyone else's pics too!

HAGD,
Maryann

Yes, I used to pester my sisters growing up.  I was the one, "I'm not touching you..."  But growing up, my mother "made us" get along.  If we got in a fight, she would make us sit on the step until we worked it out.  We were never allowed to stay mad at each other.  Today, we are each other's best friends.  I talk to at least one or two of my sisters every day.  I love you Kelly, Kim and you too Kasey!  

"I smile because you are my sister, I laugh because there is nothing you can do about it!"
