make sure to take time to enjoy all of life's little pleasures

I think the thing I like most about going out with my camera to hunt for wildlife, is that you never see what you expect you'll see.

Heading down to Cape May yesterday morning, I anticipated getting some decent pictures of snowy egrets and Great White herons.....maybe a few ducks or glossy ibises.

I didn't see any one of those birds.

As a matter of fact, most of the bird action was back in the wooded area around the lighthouse, not the ponds.

I was simply thrilled to spot and photograph my 1st Blue Bunting!

What a gorgeous little bird!

LOL.....it's funny when I see a bird I haven't seen before.

Even if it's fairly common, and I know that many other people have seen it plenty of times, I always react like I've just made the most amazing discovery! 8-))
