A Gift from God at Work!

It has been so hot in North Carolina I've been staying inside! Needless to say...I was going through photography withdrawal!!! You see...I suffer from OCD...Obsessive Camera Disorder. haha On top of that I was working 12 hour shifts this weekend....so imagine my thrill when God flew the photo opp right outside my workplace window!!! God is certainly good!!!


I grabbed my trusty camera...which is always with me...ran to the window and aimed across the street at this beautiful Hawk!


I didn't dare unlock the door and step out...with that Hawk eye and the fact that he would hear me...my only alternative was to shoot through the rather fogged up window.


The Hawk just seemed to sit there and pose...so I was able to take photo after photo...therefore alleviating my withdrawal symptoms...and finally getting my OCD back in control!

I am certainly learning to love my camera with continuous shooting...it's just great for wildlife!!!

I know the Hawk must have spotted me...after all...I was shooting out of a large picture (pardon the pun) window. hee-hee

However it continued to pose...while I continued to click!

What a great and unexpected gift of which I was very thankful for and appreciated beyond words!!!


Doth the hawk fly by thy wisdom, and stretch her wings toward the south?
Job 39:26

Good Kitty...Bad Kitty

Hi there...my name is Milo...and I live with Renee & her family.

My name is Tickles & I'm Renee's favorite kitty!

I guess that is because I'm tagged as the bad kitty...click on pic to see my tag?

I might look like the wild child...but I'm actually the good kitty!

I'm so cute they usually forgive me for my antics!

Except when he beats me up...another reason I'm the good kitty!!!

Now just look at me...do I really look like the bad kitty???

I got a bum rap...as you can see...I look like a little angel!!!

Miniature Marvels Resting Their Miniature Wings

Look out...I'm coming in for a landing!!!!

My goodness...all that super sonic wing flapping is tiring!!!

I just need a little privacy while I rest and there's that pesky redhead with her camera!!!

Maybe if I stick out my tongue at her...she'll get the message!!!

Oh well...guess she's a permanent fixture around here:-(
