My first eagle!!!

He or she was watching for a meal on Carnegie Lake in Princeton. The eagle was pretty far away so I sharpened the photo using Photoshop.



Just as Walt finished setting up his camera and tripod, the eagle flew away!

OK - So this isn't a blurry bird....

But I thought that you would like to see the results of a 1/2 day Mindfulness Meditation session - part of the program at the Penn Program for Stress Management (PPSM).

The following is a screenshot from my Nintendo Wii Fit system. Each day I weigh myself and check my balance using the Wii Fit.


I have never been perfectly centered before!

Imagine how more centered I could be if I attended the afternoon session as well as just the morning session!

Blurry Birds at Sandy Hook

This past weekend, Walt and I took a 2 hour ride to Sandy Hook National Park, along the NJ Shore. During the summer, the park is filled with fishermen, families and nude sunbathers (yes, NJ has a nude beach!).

During the winter, we had hoped that the area was filled with migrating birds. We did find a few Canadian Geese, Great Blue Herons, egrets and various small birds.



Here I am stalking some kind of geese. Walt took the photo - the birds are out of focus and I am out of focus! But the grass is in focus. In all fairness to Walt, he just purchased a new 500mm lens and this was the first day trying it out. Wait til you see the recent photos he took at Brigantine - amazing action shots of birds!

As for me, I haven't downloaded my photos to the computer yet. I do have some blurry birds to post.
