Taken with my little camera

I like to follow people on instagram that take wild life photos.

The always show a photo of themselves outside with big cameras. I have posted two pictures of the people I follow below.

While out this week, we met a man with a big camera and 

My husband asked him how much his camera cost.

It cost $5000.00.  Then he said if 

The bird is far away he can’t get a good picture.

I always thought the purpose of the big camera 

Was to take photos from a distance.

Here is one of the photographs I follow.

I wouldn’t want to carry the big camera on my walks.

Here is Trav in the bush. He always has great photos.

And he has the big camera. I think he can get photos from far away.  

Some of photography is being in the right place at the right time with your camera ready. 

If the bird will sit Lon enough for me 

To focus in, I can get a good photo with my little camera.

Don’t feel like you have to have an expensive big camera to capture a nice photo.

Get whatever camera you have and go out and have fun. The more photos you take the better chance you will have of getting a frame worthy photo.

Enjoy the process.

Pre diabetic, focusing on changing what I can.

I went to my primary care doctor yesterday,

He is not hugely concerned with my blood results.

He told me to continue to eat healthy and exercise and in September we will see where I am.

Above is my typical lunch at work.

I am not stressing over this but just working towards the goal I made in January. 

I want to exercise daily, eat healthy,

And get better sleep at night.

I probably will not be eating lots of food that 

Don’t nourish my body.

Doesn’t this look really yummy though.

I have lost 4 pounds just from no snacking after dinner and getting lots of sleep 😴.

I will keep you posted.

Tuesday birding with Jim B.

 

I’m very behind in my posts.  The past 3 months my husband and I have been going birding every Tuesday.

It’s been nice to have a consistent day off. 

Of course that may change 😢.

Theses little killdeer are cute.

So these photos are from yesterday. And I hope in the next 

Few days to do post for our other adventures.

I’ve been keeping a written journal.

This is a northern harrier.

We’ve done some pretty long drives to get to see some new birds. 

Red winged black bird.

           Great blue Heron. 

Sand hill crane.

These have been taken near the southern half of Utah lake.

Gadwall.

Song sparrow.

                     Tundra swan.

My journal.

I might start some new blogs called 

“Taken with my little camera”

You don’t need a giant camera to get nice photos.

Pre diabetic and Angry 😡

 

I went to the doctors a few weeks ago for an annual check up and was pretty excited about having my blood work done because I have been exercising and eating better. I thought I was going to have good results.

But when they called with the results, it was not good. They said my AC1 showed that I am pre diabetic and my cholesterol levels were off too.  They said to exercise more and eat better. 😭😑

I have made another appointment to discuss more about this issue. I am walking about 4 miles a day for my exercise and eating lots of veggies and fruits and salads.  Whole grain bread. 

What more can I do??

Well soon I will find out.  I can beat this.

Cartoon Kimberly.

My son is an artist. Every year I get a nice drawing 

From him.  It’s nice that he will make something fun for me.

The above drawing is my getting personal rays of inspiration.

He is slowly making this cool alphabet book for me. 

Do you have a place you can go to and relax away from the craziness of the world?  This is my Kim bubble.

Me out birding.

This is me as a Pokemon trainer.  My car is a Pokemon.

This is me at work, my favorite superhero “ frying pan woman.” She hits people in the head with a frying pan.

Wildlife photographer.

This is me with my new cat, being visited by our cat who has crossed over the rainbow bridge.

At work I make lots of balloons. So I am floating away and my cat is trying to keep me from flying away.

This is a drawing I saw that I liked. I like the wild hair and hat.

I colored this picture. I can imagine myself looking like this. When I was young.

Tiny steps to tidiness.

 

My house is in a state of disorder that at moments can be overwhelming.  My new thought on getting control of this disorder is to take tiny steps to tidiness.  

Each day I focus on cleaning and organizing things in a small way.  Each day I get rid of a few things in the most cluttered room.

Hopefully by the end of 2025 I will have a more organized house.  Free of clutter.
