Yes, Patty, Stephanie’s two kids. They chose older names: Perry James Brown, and Louise Elizabeth Brown. So Perry is also in part my namesake. And Elizabeth was Chris’ mom’s name. Both kids were born in Dallas. Chris was there for a few days. I haven’t seen Louise yet.

Not in my yard but on the river near the house. Many different kinds of sparrows out there. Here's a shot of a Savannah Sparrow. I think I posted one of these not too long ago. I liked this shot. Click for better view.

 

I dunno Lainey. you getting awfully high falutin with all these bird names.
Here in New England we got chickadees, robins and pidgeons. an' maybe some crows n bluejays.

 

super crisp, great bokeh. nice job.

 

Google and photo pals that are into birding are great sources of information. Sparrows are so common, sometimes I almost don't bother to stop to depress that shutter button. Happy I have done so when I look the the view finder and realize the sparrow is not one of the usual ones.

Thanks. Sometimes you get lucky. The bird wasn't too far away so not too much cropping required. Light was nice too.

^Short (6 mile) ElliptiGO ride done.





Blooming crabapples near Lake Loveland.




Killing time while waiting for a woman to give her a ride to her home after her appointment.




^Come on! Let's go! I pulled out my red rocket but chilled at home a bit before heading up to Rocky Mountain National Park.



Damn fine view! Car and Rocky Mountains.













This is the cottage I have reserved for three nights in July. The Fall River is on the other side. I am going to love it. My daughter will be joining me.



Finished the day at a nighttime car meet. The two GT-R owners came very late and wanted a photo with the red rocket. I hope to see what they captured. I've been to four car meets here in about a month. I'm so happy with the friendliness of every one!
