Took this shot out the window at the airport as we waited to board the first leg of our flight to NYC. Although short the trip kept us busy with a Broadway show, trip to the Met, and much more.

The birds are enjoying the feeder during these cold days we’ve had. This house finch has been a frequent visitor and is spitting out the sunflower shells.

As it neared bed time I realized I had not shot a single photo today. I had planned to go to a basketball game and a play but decided a night at home was in order after a long week. As I went into the game room I noticed the blooms on the Christmas Cactus. I’m not sure it if has just bloomed or if I have just not noticed it but it caught my attention. The shot above is an angle I took from below the plant and in macro mode.

Most of my shooting is at school. Most weeks I will shoot several different activities which range from dramas to athletic events. This afternoon I shot mainly for news stories including a shot of students competing in a contest in NYC this coming Monday and a gallery of the press conference in which our new football coach was introduced. I used the photo above on the school website this afternoon.
