Time for Camera Critters

It is time once again for the animals to take the spotlight. The picture of the geese above was taken on our way home from Willow Slough a bit back. I wanted to work it in here before I totally forget it.
And Bambi here was from last weekend. We think she was a young doe...
She stayed relaxed for quite a bit. I really, really wished I had had an apple I could have cut to pieces. That is how I first got Mama Squirrel to take something from my hands. The smell was just too much to resist.
I don't think I could have fed this deer from my hand, but all I had to with me was dog treats that I carry in the car for when I go to Sarah's house. Otto expects me to have something special for him. I don't like to disappoint, so I just got a box of Milk Bones to carry with me.

Also, often out taking pictures I meet dogs, and they have always been so friendly and inquisitive. One time I thought one was going to end up in the car with me....

Anyway, I wished I had had an apple just to have it a special treat. It is Christmas!

December Skies for Sky Watch Friday

I have not had anything decent to post for Sky Watch or else have been too busy to join for a few weeks now.
We have been helping our daughter and her husband remodel the room for their baby...
and I have not been having much time left for photography. But let me tell you the skies have been beautiful.
The top three were taken on the way there yesterday....
and the bottom two were taken on the way home. Ignor that PM in the bottom one please...I took all these from the car and I really had to crop this last one--a lot--to get a straight horizon. I was leaning back behind my husband's seat taking them out the side window. All of these were taken with a little point and shoot camera.

I am going to go ahead and join Sky Watch Friday but not sure I will get to visit many. I will at least try to respond to the ones that visit me though. And maybe later I will get a chance to join.

Before and after Sepia Scene

To join Sepia Scenes, or just to see more click on the above badge...today's Mr. Linky isn't open yet. I am posting this early cause I may be in Terre Haute later. If I am there when it is open, I can join from Sarah's computer...but I couldn't post pictures from there so will get it ready now.
I kind of like seeing the before and after shots...so thought I would show both. I think they are a little dark, but then the day was very dark and dreary.
I went in and lightened them just a tad bit with Photoshop and thought maybe you could tell me which set you like the best.
