More kitty pictures

It's been two weeks since I got my little kitties so I thought I'd share some updated photos with you. They love climbing on that scratching post I got them.

Another Full Moon photo

I played around with Photoshop today and adjusted the contrast and brightness on my full moon photo from earlier today. I like the way this one turned out. Let me know what you think.

Supermoon August 2014

With my 500mm zoom lens I was able to capture a great shot of the full moon last night. It was beautiful.

My little kittens

For those of you who know I got kittens on Friday, I thought I'd share a few photos. They are so adorable!

Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge

First, off, I want to mention that I changed the settings on my blog so you have 2 weeks to comment before the comments must be moderated. So far, I'm not getting spam on this blog so I'll extend the period for un-moderated posts. I was just trying to limit the spam so hopefully things will work more smoothly and I promise to check in more often! Life gets busy sometimes.

I have some great photos to share. On Wednesday I took a trip to the Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge near Cambridge, MD. I took along my 500mm zoom lens and my brand new 23 mega pixel digital SLR camera. I saw eagles, herons, egrets, osprey and more! The eagles were so far away that I couldn't get really good pictures but I'm including one since you can at least tell they're eagles!

My Hummingbird Friend

I have a female hummingbird that has been visiting my feeder all summer. She's the only one I've seen. I haven't seen a male around anywhere. She hangs out in one of my rose bushes and then flies over to the feeder. I spooked her a little with my big camera set up inside my back door but I got some great pictures of her in the rose bush. She only spent a few seconds at the feeder while I was at the door with my camera. Once I moved my camera and closed the door, she came back frequently. She must have been around a lot today because the nectar in my feeder is about half of what it was this morning. I love my little hummingbird friend!

Rainbow after the storm

We just had a really nasty thunderstorm that produced lots of rain. It also produced a beautiful rainbow. After the rainbow came the beautiful sunset. Here are a couple photos I took:
