Blanco SP December 2022
Rachel and I went for the 8th annual Pre-Christmas at Blanco State Park. I went looking for birds three times. The first time, it was way to dark. The other times, I just didn't do a good job with them, mostly because they were so far away. Also, the trees are so tall, it is hard for me to shoot from a good angel. I think I need to book a week at this park and really work at improving my skills in this situation. Anyway, the few that I liked enough to share with you are posted here.
