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.

Blurry Birds at Core Creek
Walt and I visited Core Creek Park, near Newtown, PA, today. A few birds - just enough for me to take some blurry photos.
Here's a hairy woodpecker. Lesson learned: always set up the camera before heading out in the field.
Another lesson: it's tough to use automatic focus in wooded areas. The camera may not focus on what you want it to.
Here's someone who didn't want his/her photo taken. I'm guessing that it belongs to the Warbler family.
I finally did have some luck with taking photos in the woods - although now Walt is blurry!! In all fairness, I just aimed the camera over my shoulder.
After the Park, we headed towards New Hope, PA. Stopped along the side of the road when we saw egrets and herons. I managed to take a non-blurry photo!
