Nature's Place
My mission? To bring my love of nature to the public. I want people to see the beauty I see. I would want anyone who sees my work to appreciate nature's place in the world. And I would want to convey my concern that wild places are disappearing from the world. But most of all, I would hope that my work would spark a passion and interest in others to start working toward saving these wild places, animals, and birds.

Day 1 of 365 - Farmstead and Privy
Theme - Abandoned Buildings
I’ve
been neglecting my photography as of late. So to get myself back on track, I am
taking up a new challenge, a picture a day for the next 365 days.
I will also be using themes, a different theme each week. For instance this coming week the theme will be abandoned buildings. Another week might be birds, while another might be even more specific, such as Wood Ducks.
Look for my postings on my Facebook pages, both my personal page and my Natures Place Images page, on Google+, on Flickr, My blog, and on my website Natures Place Images.
Also if anyone has any ideas for themes that they would like me to use please let me know in the comments.

Killdeer
Killdeer (Charadrius
vociferus)
Order: Charadriiformes Family: Plovers (Charadriidae)
This small shorebird measures 23-27 cm (9-10.5 in) in
length. Even though they are shorebirds they often do not nest or live near the
water. They do not build ‘traditional nests’ and in fact use no nesting
materials at all. Instead they lay their eggs among gravel and stones that are
similar in color and size. Both sexes incubate the eggs. When predators
threaten the eggs or the young, the parent will simulate a broken wing and lead
the predator away. They live and breed throughout the Americas and the Caribbean.
A flock is also known as a ‘season’ of Killdeers.
