Week...Let's Stop Counting

It's been a long time since my last entry. A really long time. A lot has happened in my life during the interim, but it's great to get back outside with my camera.

I lost my job in November. To be honest, I was lucky to land a job straight out of school in this economy, so getting laid off after seven months wasn't too bad. I had already established my own LLC, so I went right back to work. After floating myself along for another four months or so an awesome opportunity popped up and I'm once again gainfully employed. Though the expression really makes me wonder just exactly what I'm gaining. Anyway...

I hope you enjoy this latest entry. I was really happy to get outside on two uncharacteristically warm days in mid February. This is a glimpse of the Potomac River in Great Falls National Park. Jon and I managed to get out there at dawn twice within a few days, and the effort payed off. We spotted tons of Bufflehead ducks (smallest diving duck in North America), more deer than you could possibly want to see, and even a couple of hawks. The Downy Woodpeckers were still around digging in the trees, and some Canadian Geese decided to pause for a submerged snack.

Now that I have a job I expect I'll be doing these entries a lot more often. My office is awesome, but I still haven't earned 'window' status.
