Welcome To The Daily View

Tonight's post is gonna be quick folks. And a little different from my regular ones.

Kim and I have moved! We are in our new home as of today and let me tell you I am very excited. We have so much more land than our old house and lots of nature to go with it. And yes, the cafe has moved with us. And just to let you know I have the old cafe covered. Our furry and feathered friends will still have plenty to eat.

So for today's photo I am sharing a simple snapshot of where the new Cafe will be located.


The Cafe should be located to the left of the frame you see here. I'll be sure to keep you posted.

I have shared many eagle shots from the zoo but never one of these guys. At least I don't think I have. And if I have shared one it wasn't this photo. This was on December 30th. You can see some of the falling snow flurries we got that day.

Welcome To The Daily View

Today Was another cold one my friends. Especially early this morning. But when I looked up and saw the Sun shining through the trees in our back yard I just had to grab a few shots. And while my results varied I think this one turned out okay.

- Aperture Priority
- Aperture F18
- Shutter Speed 1/8000 Second

Welcome To The Daily View

As scenic as the back roads of Lancaster County can be the farms are what it's really known for. That's because there is just so many. And it makes for some really awesome produce in the warmer months. Kim and I always make sure to pick up some when we visit several times over the Summer each year.

So I suppose you can guess what today's photo is going to be huh? Here in beautiful black and white is what could pass for almost any farm in the county.
