Get Out And Shoot, for 2020!

I need to really make more of an effort to get out and shoot! For 2014, I made a list. No way to sugar coat it… I sucked at getting to the list. 2015, and well... I was a WEEeeee bit better. Only just. I made a list and that just didn't work for me. I need to be better about making time (as opposed to just making a list). So, 2016 was ok. 2017, I was a bit better, 2018? I fell in love, all over again. and 2019? I made a bit more progress with my camera.

2019 I made a few more shots... added WAY more to the list than images I made.
But the one biggest thing I discovered, was, I need to Make Time To Shoot! I definitely need to make time to shoot.



Still on the list: more long-exposure waterfalls, more wildlife to shoot, Cape Cod Lighthouses, more species, and more wish-list places to shoot. Come to think of it, what's not on the list?



the List:



More Birding
✔ Screech Owl
Great Horned
Burrowing Owl
✔ Barred Owl
Barn Owl
✔ Snowy Owl
Great Grey Owl
Short-earred Owl
Long-earred Owl
hell... almost any owl


Raptors, any raptors
Bald Eagle
Sharp Shinned Hawk
✔ Coopers Hawk
Red Shouldered
✔ Red Tailed Hawk
✔ Mute Swan
More... more... more Raptors.

Along the way, I want to meet up with any and all of you. I want to spend some time, learning about your worlds... take me to the places you love most, and show your world's to me. I'd love to meet, and shoot your love's as well!




Always, I strive to give back

To the animals and birds around me

to put more plants in than I take out

And be a good steward for the world around me!

That is a nice list of things you want to get shots of. I am hoping to get out and go shooting more this year as well. It is too easy to just get lazy and unmotivated when it comes to getting out there and getting new pictures. I hope you have an awesome year!

I really need to work at it, more.
