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.
This image is probably a month or so old by now but I hadn’t done anything with it yet. This is from another trip to the Marina on New River Air Station. The lighting wasn’t great (bit too bright out) but I worked with it as best as I could. I really liked how the feathers on top of its head were wet and how the sun was illuminating that area. Shot with my Canon 7Dmkii and the Canon 400mm f/5.6L lens I was renting at the time. Processed in Adobe Lightroom.
Today’s image is of the commonly seen Eastern Tiger Swallowtail Butterfly. They are all over Eastern NC and many other places in the United States. Shot with my Canon 7dmkii and Tamron 70-300mm lens and processed in Adobe Lightroom.
I stumbled upon this on the interwebs today. The idea is if you enter this contest then the company sponsoring it will plant a tree in your honor on arbor day. You also have the chance of winning a bunch of cool camera gear and I love camera gear almost as much as I love a forest.
So as a disclaimer I have no idea if they will actually plant a tree in your honor if you enter but I want to believe that they will so I figured I would share this with my small group of followers. Maybe we can get a couple of trees planted for us maybe not ha-ha. Isn’t it the thought that counts?
Another disclaimer…I did not take the picture I used for this post.
Summer is just around the corner and we can’t wait to start going to the beach again. I honestly believe that this is Oshie’s favorite place to go. No matter how long we spend there he never runs out of energy and will run in and out of the waves all day. It isn’t until we get in the car that he crashes. After a day at the beach he is pretty much exhausted and ready for an afternoon and evening of relaxation and sleep. I can’t say I blame him!
Thankfully the waters warm quickly on the coast of North Carolina and we will soon be enjoying the sand between out toes.
