House of Martin

About 15 years ago, my father decided to create a Martin bird house.  It wasn't a difficult project, and apparently it was fairly well built, for only now is it starting to die.  But it's dying at a rapid pace...and I'm sure will be taken down and tossed in the fire pit soon.

Here is a portion of that bird house.  The colors underneath the peeling paint have a nice antique feel to them.  The fact that it looks like it's going to fall apart also helps add that feeling.

I was meandering around Middle Creek with my new wide angle lens.  I got some decent stuff..nothing special.  Luckily, I also had my telephoto with me.  When my wife pointed out the window of my car as we were leaving, and said she saw two bald eagles, I grabbed my camera, swapped lenses, and took some photos.  We were really far away, so this shot really isn't that good.  But it is of two bald eagles...that must count for something.

These two majestic birds were just sitting there preening their feathers.  A 300mm lens is just not good enough.  I need a 3000mm lens.
