Bird

I have been taking pictures for sometime now and every time I went to a place I always have the pictures taken with bird. All species of a kind. I am going to compile here the many birds, ducks and sort of the thing that flies. I just like them because they are everywhere. Later you will see the many pictures that I took with them. I will get back later.

The View Gives A Great Point Of View!

Guest post from: Joe Castro

My favorite daytime television program is The View. All of the women who host the program have wonderful personalities and they make an excellent mix as a group. The diversity of the hosts also adds to the appeal of the show. Barbara Walters is a well known and respected media journalist, she is great as the lead host. Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behr add a great element of humor and they always make me laugh. The ladies discuss everything from current events and celebrity news to world politics.They do not always agree with one another but that is one of the elements that make this an interesting show to watch. Hearing the opinion of five very different women, who are all of different ages and backgrounds makes for an interesting mix of voices. The show can be especially involving if one the hosts is very passionate about a topic, some major arguments have been aired to viewers and they were always engrossing to watch. "The View" will usually offer an interesting guest or musical talent in its lineup and that adds to the appeal, its not just another talk show! I enjoy watching the program on TV By Direct from my home when I can. It is a nice way to relax and spent and hour.

Shoreline, Mountain View CA

One find Sunday afternoon hubby and I went to visit this place again. This is a man made lake. Though this will contradict the concept of this blog. But what makes it incline to nature is the very nice sunset and the birds that are surrounding the area.

We have visited this place several times in the past. But every time we went here it was cold, foggy and chilly. We had not spent the time to maximize the place and enjoy the day. So that day on sunday, though it was bright and sunny it is still chilly. I had set up my tripod and camera hoping to get a good picture. I tried so many times, but the glare of the sun reflected on the camera. And the output of the picture was not good. I used 3 different lens and different filters to avoid the glare and no matter how hard I tried the hope of getting the best one with me on the background was a failure. Hubby was there with me for a few minutes but with him getting chilly he went back to the car. I took a shot while he was there to be a model for that shoot but the pictures turned out not great. I deleted most of them.

I was seriously hoping to make the most of my time there though I was also felt cold. It was a failure that I didn't get the picture that I want. There were only 2 photos of that trip that was good. I will post it later.
