hi.

i deleted the blog i had here before about moving.

now i've got an empty blog. so i guess i'll fill it with what i've been doing lately.

yeah, pretty much i've been trying to learn to use my camera, a canon powershot sx110is.  i love it, but only recently (in the last week) have tried the manual settings.  above is a great blue heron and mallard in this pond thing next to heron lakes golf course.  i have been loving that pond lately- always a couple great blue herons, many kinds of ducks, and the cormorants! oh they're beautiful.  plus a great egret often hangs out...

there is the great blue heron creeping behind the double-crested cormorants...

i'm not sure, but i assume the one on the left is the momma and the rest are the young cormorants?

and this guy.... so cute! no idea what kind he is though...
