Day 17: Oshie

HE IS WATCHING! Oshie stares at everyone that walks, runs, bikes or drives past the house. Sometimes he even lays at the sliding glass door with his head through the blinds so he can watch everyone go by. It is funny when we come back from an outing and see his head poking through the blinds. What a goof!

Day 16: Double Crested Cormorant

The Cormorant is a very odd looking bird. I found this one lounging in the sun on a pylon at a marina. They have a somewhat prehistoric/pterodactyl look going for them which is more noticeable in flight or when their wings are spread in. The eyes are what drew my attention, the color is very interesting and unlike any other bird eye I have seen. From a distance you might mistake them for a duck floating in the water. Of course there are obvious physical differences but from a distance you can differentiate by noticing that they float much lower in the water. Cormorants are related to Boobies and are found all over North America. They eat fish and catch them by diving underwater.

Day 15: Stay Off The Dunes!

The two photos in today’s post were taken in January. The winter was very mild here in North Carolina and there were even a few days that were warm enough for a beach trip like this one. I definitely wouldn’t want to get in the water however Oshie didn’t seem to mind the chill at all. As long as he had the ball to chase he was happy! I was still using my Canon T5 and the Tamron 70-300 lens during this trip.

Sand Name — Just in case you didn’t already know his name.

Day 14: April Moon

I took this shot this morning when I took Oshie out to do his business. The sky wasn’t as dark as it appears in this image, but I like the way that this edit of the photo turned out. I was able to capture some good detail around the edges of the moon. I just wish I could zoom even closer.

Day 13: The Broad

I took this photo of The Broad a museum under construction in downtown Los Angeles last August. I love the architecture of the building but I hadn’t done anything with the photo yet. I processed it in black and white and color but I am not sure which one I like more. I will leave that decision up to you all. Taken with a Canon T5 and Canon 18-55mm kit lens and processed in Adobe Lightroom.
