Great shot…we have never been to Maine, but hear it is beautiful there. Growing up we used to have a lot of Martin bird houses. Birds are fun!!

Beth, thank you for visiting and your comment. It’s greatly appreciated.

I love your Wordless Wednesday photo of the Central PA landscape. Makes me homesick as I am a Pennsylvanian transplanted and living along the mid coast of Maine.

Maine is beautiful, your family should visit sometime.

Your Wordless Wednesday photo of your daughter having a dinner party is sweet!

That shot is amazing. It could be in National Geographic. What kind of lens did you use?

So beautiful – really stands out against the background!

Hi Alvis, thanks for stopping by!

I use a Cannon 100-400mm IS L lens. The photo was taken on Mt. Desert Island in Acadia National Park back in September. I was about 30 yards away from the subject.

National Geographic huh? Wow!

Shelley, I love the background too. My only problem with the shot is the top of the bill is too bright, couldn’t tone it down anymore.

Thanks for stopping by!

John
