Lunar Eclipse - Winter Solstice 2010

It was freezing cold out , but we had amazingly clear skies here :) I tried using all the fancy settings on my camera , inclusing 30 second exposure .... but none of it worked.  I had to resort to leaning on my truck and snapping away. :)

Hahaha No Zoom Shot :)

The frozen fingers were worth it! Ive always enjoyed celebrating the solstices.. but this one was extra cool !
Dont forget to mark your reaction below :) I love feedback of all sorts . Thanks Rich

A cold winters day

So much for global warming, as I type this half the planet is covered in snow :) An exaggeration I know ... but still I can not remember having this much snow in December before. I was watching BBC news last night, and even England and half of Europe are blanketed in the white stuff. I was going to post some warm and fuzzy pictures from summer, but another snow day seems more appropriate.

Winter has definately arrived :)

Brrrr the last two days have been -10C plus some crazy windchills, so it feels like -20 to -25C .   The dogs however still need to be walked.   As a small bonus for me, Ive found that these freezing days can make for some good shots, providing the camera doesn't freeze lol.   Today was one of those good days.  For the first time ever,  I saw two hawks together in a tree and luckily the battery held out long enought to get a few shots off. 

A bird in your lense is worth two in the bush

The other day i was finally able to get a descent shot of this hawk I seen for the last six months... I managed to get a few fuzzy ones, or long distance shots, but not a nice clear shot :)  So todays post theme is birds :)  I hope you enjoy them, feel free to suggest names or captions for the pics.  Also I finally have editting software , ( after 5 years without lol ) These are untouched , so far ,  other than a crop here or there.  If you have suggestions on editting ,  they are most welcome. 

Snow, more snow and an Icicle.

The day of December brought along snow, lots of that really cool, big, flakey kinda snow that sticks to everything.  A week later it is still here.  Guess winter is coming early this year.

Here are a few pictures I thought Id share :

I have more pics to follow , I just can't seem to find the words to type right now ! So the words are at a minimum. 

Please if you like a photo , post a comment with a caption.  If it makes me laugh or smile, Ill add it onto the picture. 

Have a Great Day .

Rich Fletcher's Photo Bucket Begins

Where to begin when I don't know where this is leading :)  Six months ago I started a FB Foodie page ,  to share pictures, recipes and ideas...  that went over so well I decided to try my hand at a food blog.  Which was a bit daunting at first ,  even though I had been posting on Facebook,  I was now going public.  I was actually nervous and a little worried about how it would be received.   For those that know me, I'm really not afraid of anything ... I'm a sales guy by trade , well I was, I quit the office job almost 2 months ago now and have just been winging it,  so I'm used to all sorts of different situations including putting myself out there.  I spend nights  or even a week in the woods, by myself or with my dogs. Ive travelled solo, and walked some of the darkest streets completely unafraid.  So to be worried about putting a few pictures online .. wow that was a new one for me.  :) That was six weeks ago , and 15 or so blog posts.  I guess Ive gotten over it as I am now starting a second blog.   This one will be a little more random, a lot less words, and more pictures doing the talking.

 Welcome to the my Photo Bucket .   Comments and suggestions are welcomed, in fact Ill leave the captions empty and use your comments to name them !    I hope you enjoy : 

Hahaha I just noticed I have the wrong watermark on there.  Ill have that adjusted for the next posting.
