Good News, Bad News

Good News




An email popped up last week, asking for permission to use this photo in a brochure for Morris Animal Foundation, a nonprofit organization (and one of Betty White's favorites!) that invests in science that advances veterinary care for companion animals, horses and wildlife.  
I said yes.

Robin, the graphic artist designing the brochure, spotted it in 500px. My account is new - there are two whole photos in it - but I'm so glad I started it.




Bad News

My zoom lens stopped working. I'll take it back to the camera store one day this week. I'm not sure what will happen next, except that I'll for sure be getting a refund on its recent doctor bill.

But...



More Good News

My zoom worked long enough to capture some seabird photos on my trip to the coast this past weekend. Whew!










I'll be adding some of these and others to my accounts at 500px, RedBubble, and FineArtAmerica so check them out and spread the word! Thank you!

  2. Congratulations. That is one stunning photo and so are your birds.
    I had a zoom that packed it in also. It was a fav and I think I dropped it a few times . I had to replace it.
    Lovely blog.
