Being laid-off (for good) from my last job, I've had the pleasure of taking the time to....well...be a child & return to nature again. To explore, frolic, unearth, hunt, discover, relinquish, hibernate, calculate, detail, breathe deep. As a tribute to my previous employer as well as the State of Oregon, here's my animal way of saying 'thank you' for setting me free.

Nature never complains & always wins. Great shot of the bird.
That bird flew into the house, then smashed into a big window HARD in a panic escape. Dazed & confused, I took him outside with gloved hands & after holding him steady, he flew up to the fence & rested there for a long while. He eventually disappeared.
Sorry to hear about your lay off. Glad to hear that you have used the time away from the grind constructively. I was laid off in 2000. Best thing that ever happened to me! I'm still doing the same thing (which I often question) but at least I'm doing it with sane and decent people. Keep shooting. And printing. And it was good to read the story behind the bird picture because I was wondering how on earth you got so close.
Thanks for the words of wisdom & support, Jeff! Yes, I feel this experience has been a good one so far & am truly thankful I can be creative & not burn through all my savings. This unique time in my life will be used wisely! Cheers.
What is (or was) the animal in the last picture?
Don't know exactly, I'm thinkin' a coon.
Great & unique!
