It's been a while but today I finally got to go out and shoot somewhere besides in our own backyard. Not that I'm complaining about the wonderful and very plentiful nature that I have right here at home but some variety is nice too. And best of all it was someplace we have never been to before.
Today Kim and I headed to Peace Valley Park near Doylestown Pennsylvania in Bucks County. With my camera in hand we walked along Lake Galena where we saw lots of geese, some seagulls and a variety of other wildlife. After visiting the lake we drove to the parks nature center. The nature center houses an activity center and a nice gift shop. But best of all it also has a really nice bird blind. In the blind we were able to see birds at a very close range and of course photograph them. There was a good variety too. We saw bluejays, cardinals, finches and a couple different kinds of woodpeckers in addition to other breeds too. I just wish I had been better prepared. When we went out this morning I had fitted my camera with a lens that only zooms to 55mm. This is great for landscapes but not so much for wildlife. But I did get some good shots and for today's view I would like to share this one with you.

This red bellied woodpecker (I know it's belly isn't red but that's a subject for another post) was shot from quite a distance and I had to crop it a lot. But I think it came out okay. Next time I'll bring a longer lens.
Here is the EXIF data.
And here is Yesterday's View...
