For a long list of reasons, I’ve been feeling pretty blue.  While not a permanent solution, one of the things that gives me a bit of a lift is being outdoors.  Watching wildlife is such a thrill, but getting out to feed the hungry birdies is especially soothing to the soul.  And now, I have a new camera to get comfortable with too so why not combine those two activities?  I headed to Pike Lake today with camera in town and baggies full of good quality bird seed and hit the trail.  Here are some of the shots I got!

As I said, it’s only a temporary fix for the blues, but at least I left with a smile!
