I finally went out to take some pictures this weekend. My wife and I went snowshoeing and there was a bird feeder in the woods. I was lucky enough to capture this extremely rare bird... The Chikadee. :) Not. They're actually pretty hard to capture because they only stay at one place for one second or so. This week I decided to do a Bird theme.
In the arena that night, the whole last minute was drowned out by cheers — and then when the soaring music swelled, the confetti rained down as the harbinger of balloons and the hopeful first family took the stage, forget about it — it was a perfect end to a convention that last Monday, no one even knew if it would happen. But it did, and I'm so glad to have been there.
Reuters - Hurricane Ike barreled toward Cuba as an
extremely dangerous Category 4 storm on Sunday and was forecast
to sweep into the central Gulf of Mexico as a large and
powerful storm echoing Hurricane Gustav.
