This is a photo of a robin I took the day after the snowstorm. He was sitting on a tree branch wondering what his next move would be. Was only there about 10 seconds or so. Got off 2 photos and then flew away.

This picture was taken last month in Vermont while we were on a Fall Color Bus Tour. It was at a small lake where we made a photo stop as the colors and the position of the sun were aligned just right to capture the beautiful reflections on the water.

On a trip to Naperville, Illinois, I photographed the "Healing Field of Honor" flag display covering Rotary Hill for the Veterans Day tribute honoring the 58,000 troops killed in the Vietnam War. Seeing the thousands of flags on display, along with the Vietnam War traveling memorial wall, was a very emotional experience that renewed my gratitude and thanks to all military veterans.
