I think that if I had one completely unrealistic wish…I would want to be able to fly like a bird. I’m not talking about parachuting…I don’t really feel like jumping out of a perfectly good airplane. Nor do I want to fly in some ultralight aircraft or contraption. I want to be able to flap my arms (wings) and fly. I did mention that this is a completely unrealistic wish.

The photo above is my favorite wing photo from the walk around Decker Lake today at lunch. Here are some of the runner ups.

Don’t forget…today is Twitter Tuesday…see others who are tweeting their 365 photos.

This morning I heard an unfamiliar bird song in my neighborhood. I started to look around and found this quail walking around on my neighbors roof. It stayed for a while and posed while walking up and down and then flew away (probably to a nearby nest).

I haven’t posted a photo of Tigger recently. He is enjoying spring so much (except when it rains and he can’t decide if he wants to go out or stay in.) But when it’s is nice weather, he’s as content as can be. Life is good.

With this photo I’m officially pass the half way mark of my project 365. I was trying to think about how to represent this with a photo. The saying came to mind about a cup being half full or half empty. Which way do you see it? To me, it’s neither half full nor half empty…just twice as big as it needs to be.

A rather predictable photo today, but I like it. Flowers are one the the major reasons I became passionate about photography. I just love beautiful flowers and I hate to see them go, so I try to preserve their memory in photographic form. After starting to photograph them several years ago, I soon found out that there is more to making a memorable photograph than just pointing a camera at a subject and firing away. Seeing a beautiful flower is just the first step in capturing an outstanding photograph of it, there is so much more to it than meets the eye (pun intended).
