A Hawk

There is a hawk that comes and perches on a tree behind our house.  I haven't seen him in a very long time.  I was worried he died.  Then just last Friday, I saw him.  I tiptoed past him and went inside to grab my camera.  He was very sweet and waited for me.  Here is the original plus my edits.

 Look at him just sitting there!!
I can honestly say...I do not remember what I did here.  Just thought it looked cool.
Black and white is always classic
And lastly, bumped the brightness/contrast changed the cuvres--whatever that means!  And sharpened it up.

awesome! We have one too but can't get close enough--he's so far up, so I'm jealous. My fave is the vivid blue!

I love birds. I love your pictures and how the detail on his feathers show up!
Sorry I've been out of commission lately. I'm having the cable lines in the house fixed on Friday finally, wahoo!

We see hawks occasionally while we're out but I never have a camera on me when we do. Good shot!

I'm a fan. We had a hawk in our neighborhood for a while. It was really fun to watch him.

A Leave of Absence

Image
I just wanted let you all know that I am taking a (short) leave of absence. I was feeling under the weather last Friday, and Saturday I was a lump. By Monday I felt almost normal again. Tuesday even better! By Wednesday night the whole left side of my face felt completely packed. Today(Thursday) I am at death's door. Or maybe it's at mine! All I know is, I haven't felt this crappy in a long time. I spent the day at my mom's and mostly slept. Thanks Mom. Now Rich is home and he is running the show. I shall return...as soon as I stop feeling like this.

Dancing with the Stars---Dead

Image
That is how the show was introduced on Halloween night.  "Dead, from Hollywood, it's Dancing with the Stars!"  with your host, Tom Boooo-geron! Oh and Brooke who didn't get a play on her name.  Tonight, the dances are all spooktacularly themed.  Plus there is also a team dance. David and Kym 1-800-868-3406 David and Kym are dancing The Cha Cha and David wants to add magic to the act, so they bring in a professional magician to help with some basic tricks.  I enjoyed their Cha Cha.  It was fun. Len said it had  lots of tricks and treats and that David turned himself into a dancer! Bruno told him he has got the prestige, and that he was a natural at turning tricks. Carrie Ann said his improvement was phenomenal. She said he was polished and finessed, but that he needed to work on his holds. Scores: Carrie Ann:  8 Len: 8 Bruno: 8 Total: 24  JR and Karina 1-800-868-3410 JR and Karina are dancing the Tango to Ghostbusters. Why do they give such ch
