There was a robin or two that wintered here. Recently, though, I've heard more calls and noticed a few more have returned. It is so nice to hear birdsong in the yard again.
@aecasey Hi April. We have been paired for this week's Get Pushed. I want to say that I have really enjoyed viewing your work, especially the photography of flowers. You have a wonderful eye for composition and detail. From a couple of shots, I think you live in Nebraska. From what I remember, Nebraska was on the route of the wagon trains to the west; the Oregon Trail and the California Trail. For a photo for this week, could you capture what the people might have felt as they journeyed across the prairie. This could be done through content and/or processing. I used to live on the prairies and know how brutal the winters can be, so if this is not possible an alternate challenge would be to create a low key photo. Your choice of project. Looking forward to seeing what you do.
@jnr Thank you for the challenge. You are correct ... I live in Western Nebraska. The Oregon Trail lies about 50 miles south, while the Sidney-Black Hills Trail runs through the pastures near here. Our forecast this week is for warm temperatures, so I will see what I can put together.
