Zoom In, Zoom Out and Wild Bird Wednesday



Today I am sharing some photo's I took this past Saturday of a Blue Heron at Mill Creek near the Community College Campus here in Walla Walla.
Coleen and I went for a little drive to see what we could find to photograph and spotted it.

I'll be sharing with Helena's Zoom In Zoom Out Meme and Stewart's - Wild Bird Wednesday.

First the Zoom Out shot as we first saw the Heron:

 

 

It then decided to fly and as luck would have it, it flew straight towards me.  So I just kept snapping away.  Zooming in....

 

Ready or not here I come.

 

 

Start to engage landing gear...

 

 

Landing gear down....

 

 

Touch down. - I love how ruffled the feathers are on it's chest in this shot.

 

 

Let's pose for a the camera.

 

And.....

 

 

 

We're off again!



Whatever Wednesday and Zoom In Zoom Out

Welcome!  It's a COLD day here in "Wally World" (aka Walla Walla, WA)
The snow is falling very softly here today but not enough to really worry about. 

Greta and Coleen did indeed make their snowman (or snowwoman) as mentioned in my previous post.  I took photo's of the event, that was my part.  I'm sharing those here today along with some photos for another meme,  Zoom In, Zoom Out hosted by Helena at Helena's Creative Maven.

Those will follow after the snowman photos.  - Be sure to click to enlarge.

So let's get started with the snow fun!

I took this one from inside my nice warm craft/computer room.  They were trying to "shore up" her body as the snow was starting to get pretty slushy at that point.

Coleen had a little helper (?) when Ghost the kitten decided to hop on her back for a ride.

The finished snow woman and her creators.  She's a bit "dirty" looking and they pretty much used up all the snow from the front yard to make her but they had fun and that's what counts.

Here she is in all her glory.  She's still standing too because the weather turned off very COLD so she may be around for a  little while.

Now let's join in the Zoom In, Zoom Out fun.    



Yesterday I caught this photo of, Ghost on top our Van just as he was getting ready to climb down.  This is my Zoom Out shot.

Now let's Zoom In for a closer look as he slid down the windshield.

He had the most startled look on his face,  "Gosh that was slippery!"

Hope you've enjoyed your stay.  Thanks for visiting.
