Dave has a passion for very high quality photographs of the birding world which is also one of his passion.

One of my passions is to enjoy most anything I see happening outside.  That is why I carry my cell phone with me on my bike rides.

Not many birds seem to feed on the berries but this morning the Robins were in the bushes eating the berries. A male English or House Sparrow and a Carolina Wren still around my yard. Mild here today 50 degrees F.  Dave

I will try to answer the question “Why do I take so may photos”:

When you see something beautiful or unusual, it’s natural to feel a desire to claim it for a while and to share it with others. Having photos gives you the satisfaction of being able to hold unto (claim) the beautiful or unusual event after it has moved on.

Here are just a few photos from my recent collection:

I always look to the sky. One morning we went to look at the sky – saw the Eagle (I think) sitting on our rain gutter. The small birds were setting up a terrible chorus of screams because the bird of prey was sitting near their nesting tree..

Here on the Space Coast, rockets often go up without fanfare. While riding my bike in November, I saw the sky on the left.  It is  a rocket I forget was going up around 5:00pm.  On the right, just a few moments after the the initial blast-off, the wind and setting sun caught the contrail.

More looking to the sky – beautiful.  Do you see a smiling dog.   The blue beams point to the image?  I always see things in the clouds.  Some times I need to use just a little PhotoShop to help you see what I see in God’s art work.   In any case,  God is a great artist with the sky as his canvas.

God does not use watercolor paint, oils, or acrylics,  He uses clouds. Hope you see the animal he created on this day.

While Gloria shops for furniture at Baers Furniture – I go outside and roam the parking lot and store entrance for interesting things to see. This bear is at Baers store entrance.

I have no idea why I love to see snakes – always have loved snakes. Having farmed in Pa. and ranched in Tx. I have snake stories that would keep you listening for more stories than you would like.  One such story has to do with me stacking wheat bundles, on the wagon.   My dad and brother would throw the bundles to me from the ground.   Once in a while, instead of throwing me a wheat bundle to stack, they would find a snake under the bundle, scoop it up and throw it to me – trapped up there on the wagon.

Here is another animal I just love to watch when I see one – Here in Florida on my bikes rides I see many. I just love to watch and help them across the road if I think their life is in danger from getting run over by a car or golf cart.

I will show just one indoor photo. My bathroom rug – on the left a shot of the rug – on the right a close up of that rug. See a face that I see each day. Oh, it is there.  I see two eyes, nose and mouth.

Finally back to the western sky – as seen, tonight,  in  “The Great Outdoors RV and Golf Resort” where we live. 

As you swing through life, enjoy the many beautiful, unusual, and eye-catching things you see each day – photo them, look at them later, share them – ENJOY being a photographer – and with cell phones, we are all photographers, you know!
