Perspective

Topic: The View from a Window

From one window to another...

Sometimes all you need to do is change your perspective and you may find that there was something wonderful there all along.

Focusing in, not out.

Little Tori, sweet as can be :)

Vintage: You can create a vintage feel by processing the shot to have that vintage look – adjust color and saturation, tone down contrast, add light bleed, water spots, etc.

We went to Wildlife Prairie Park the other day and I thought "Yeah" there I can get some cool bird pictures. Unfortunately there was a lot of reconstruction going on and it seemed the animals were a bit scarce. We finally found the birds in the Snake Hut, lol!

The owls and the vultures were in the classroom they use for presentations. I took this picture through a glass door. The room was dark, so I got mostly dark grainy pictures. I tweaked this one a bit and decided I liked it. Owls are such amazing creatures!!

Topic: Birds

The Peoria Heights Tower. You can go up in a glass elevator and see all of Peoria and beyond! On the tower is a Woodpecker, or a Peckerwood. That is what this adorable 3 year old girl told me it was, a Peckerwood. She was just too darn cute to tell her otherwise!
