We got a new cat, this gorgeous orange man is named Mr Tippy Taps. Susu, our black cat, is a bit rude to him, but it's much nicer with us than his old home.
An orange cat stretched out and sleeping on a couch, eyes closed and paws out. A black cat sleeping in a cat tower next to an orange cat at an open window. It is night outside. The orange cat is looking back towards the camera. An orange cat lounging against a pink and purple cow squishmallow. Orange cat lays in bed licking his paws while black cat in the foreground stares out from his tower.

Gorgeous day today, got out to the park for a little bit. It's still thawing out, nothing but mud and ice. Happy spring!
An iced over lake behind a number of small trees. There is a small peninsula further back. The lighting is orangey, with some lens flare at the top Another shot of an iced over lake, with a fallen tree trunk in the center of the shot. There is more lens flare in the top left. The iced over lake with trees in the background. The sun shining through trees (out of frame left) is creating dark and light stripes along the ice. A picture of some mushrooms on a log. No idea what kind of mushroom, sorry! They're long and thin, parallel to the log they protrude from, and white with a brown edge.

So tragic, I finally saw a bald eagle today after months on the lookout. Flew off the moment I got outside with my camera gear, so all I have for proof is a blurry phone picture.

Still exciting though, if there's one, there's more, and next time I'll be ready.
A picture of a bald eagle at the very top of a large pine tree, against a grey sky. The bald eagle is hard to make out but its white head can be clearly seen.

It has been cold and unlike many more dedicated photographers, I have not been going out in the cold

I did get some neat pictures of my apartment complex when the wind kicked up though.
An apartment complex parking lot with a blue truck in the mid and more cars in the background. There's plenty of snow on the ground and some bare trees. The same parking lot, still covered in snow, but the wind has kicked up, with blown snow obscuring one of the buildings. The blown snow almost entirely obscures the building now. Pine trees at the edge of the apartment lot are covered in snow. As before, with still more snow obscuring vision.

Today's my birthday! To celebrate I grabbed a Tamron 17-70mm F/2.8 to replace my Sony kit lens and I'm quite happy with it in just the first couple hours of owning it

Some pictures from the park last Friday
A great blue heron standing in the branch of a tree with orange and yellow autumn leaves in the backdrop. A mute swan about to dip its beak into its own reflection. The water reflects the reeds behind it A mallard leaving a trail of wake in the water. There is grass in the foreground and the reflection of reeds in the background. Two ducks with their heads beneath water and their tailfeathers up in the air. Both foreground and background are water reflecting the autumn environment

One of the most important parts of having a nice camera is taking very high quality cat pictures

#photography
Black cat sitting on a window sill with his head turned up towards the sun. He is wearing a pink collar. Out the window, an apartment building, some trees, and a car can be seen. An orange cat looking directly into the camera. There is a soft glow on the edges of his fur.

Hike got cancelled due to weather yesterday but I still went up to Lake Ontario to get a few photos of the storm clouds over the water. Also featuring some seagulls who very politely hovered in place trying to fight the wind.

Two seagulls in the air over Lake Ontario. Large grey storm clouds can be seen above them. A silhouette of a lone seagull in the air against dark grey clouds Another lone seagull over the water and under the clouds. The mist of rain can be seen in the distance The coast of Lake Ontario, dimly lit with bright patches of sky between the storm clouds.

Watkins Glen a few months back. Always gorgeous and I'd love to try and visit again before it gets too cold.

Nothing stand-out photo-wise, but had a lovely day at the park yesterday and this momma+baby deer got incredibly close to us.

A picture of a still lake with the trees reflected in the water. There is a man on a boat in the distance. Three mute swans on the water, one is dunking its head below the surface. A picture of swirling algae plus the reflection of the sky on a patch of lake. A picture of a forest, a mother doe stands right of center while her baby stands to the left.

Absolutely thrilled about this shot of a great blue heron at the park today

I think it's a mallard sort of morning after seeing a couple on the timeline.

some bleeding hearts from May for #FallbackFlowers

hadn't tried any macro style stuff before taking this so it was a fun experiment
