Bald Eagles were Visiting

When a pair of bald eagles came to visit, they separated and one sat on the post while the other used the osprey nest.  To try to turn the photo into one subject, I waited till they were looking at each other, or at least showed some animation.

Oops, careful there.  Don’t fall off!

That’s better.

Pelicans in St.Mary’s County

Just to be different, we visited Piney Point Lighthouse to see the pelicans.  They are fairly far away.  We visited the beach and saw the lighthouse outside too.  After 2 visits, I finally managed to get one fairly decent photo with blurry wingtips.  They were fun to watch since I haven’t seen any in a long time.

Camera Club Theme Winners for the End of the Year 2021

I had 2 winning photos in the End of Year Competition, consisting of winners from the previous competitions throughout the year.  You may have seen them before.  I was happy to have any winning photos this year, since it took extra effort to even stand long enough to photograph anything.  It is slowly getting a little easier, 16 months after my broken heel.  Other winners included 1st and 2nd by Leon Smith in the Advanced competition for Grandchildren and I'll Get a Hit, 3rd place by Eric Wilcox for Old House.  Leon Smith won Third place theme for Chincoteague Storm.  

Old Book Still Life from the Still Life themed competition was 1st place.

White Flower from the Three Colors or Less themed competition was 2nd place.  This was  cell phone photo, using my sweater for a background.  The flower is a Royal Star Magnolia.
