Well, another Christmas has passed! Where does the time go!? I had some fun photographing the lights on 
the tree with some special effects. :)We spent three days in Milton, FL visiting my parents. Unfortunately, we missed the first white Christmas that Oak Ridge has had since the early 1990's! Grrrr! :( It was wonderful to get to spend time with my folks though!
I have been excited to see a couple of uncommon birds (to
me, at least). A little Brown Creeper came to the tree behind the house yesterday. I had seen one a few years ago, but couldn't get a good photo of it. Fortunately, this one stuck around long enough for me to put my telephoto lens on my camera and get a few shots. 
The other bird was a pretty little Ruby-crowned Kinglet, it was the first time I had seen this bird. I managed to get only one shot before it took off, it is a pretty crazy photo!
Happy New Year to my blog readers! Have a wonderful, nature-filled 2011!
