The photographs herein have been taken over the past two years mostly in my back yard and at the small lake nearby. I continue to enjoy taking my camera for a walk, shooting whatever might have possible photographic merit. The Great Egret and the European Starling on the front and back covers exemplifies the great variety of birds in the Charlottesville area. The non-bird photos are of my hunting grounds.To those who may peruse this sampling from my collection I hope you enjoy.
