Shout Out

Check out my friend Dan's new blog, Bird Crusher. He's got some ridick-awesome photos of birds (and some other cool critters too) and I guess you could say he's pretty hilarious. His photos make me wish I could throw down my non-existent money on some fancy camera equipment (a point-and-shoot just doesn't cut it when you want to "Crush face-melters" as Dan would put it, I want a DSLR and a good lens). Until then, I'll just stalk Dan's blog and drool over the crisp purple iridescent feathers of a Costa's Hummingbird (see his first post) or the awesome shallow depth-of-field in that photo of a Grace's Warbler. Geez, Dan.

Here's a photo from my camera, which is a great camera--now I feel bad for coveting something "better"...

Tufted Puffin launching itself off the cliff into a flapping frenzy of flight.
