1000 by cjwhite

1000

This is the 1000th pic I've uploaded. Time has really flown by. My husband says I probably took 10,000 to get the 1000 I've posted. He's probably right! :0)

This handsome little guy is a White-Crowned Sparrow. I saw him for the first time on Monday. I had only seen him in my books before this He's very shy! I've been trying to get a decent pic for three days. I wish this showed all of him, but it's his crown that I like the most. :0)

I had a little accident today. I was going to the bank and on the way in, I was reading the bank hours on the door. I'm not sure what happened next, but I landed hard on the concrete. I caught my foot on something, but I'm not sure what. I have two skinned knees and palms. My wrists and arms are achy. I'm sure I will feel it tomorrow, even more. The bank tellers were really nice. One of them found my car keys, that went sailing into a flower bed. There weren't any customers in the parking lot, when I fell, but it's right on a busy street. I've never fallen in public before. Grace is definitely not my middle name! I'm just thankful that I didn't have my camera with me. It was safely locked away in my truck!

Thank you so much for stopping by my project! :0)

What a neat bird. Never seen one of these guys before.
January 24th, 2013  
I hope you recover quickly from your fall. It is always embarrassing as well as painful to fall in a public place.

Love the little sparrow.

FAV! Such clarity! The White Crowned & White Throated are so hard to photograph because they don't sit still.
January 24th, 2013  
Fabulous Shot! Take care of the aches n pains! Hope you are well!
January 24th, 2013  
Wonderful Shot!
January 24th, 2013  
Good photographers will take much more than just the basics. I would be willing to bet that you took even more than that.

January 24th, 2013

First, congratulations! I only have 977 more to go to get to that point! And what a beautiful image to celebrate. . .

If you've only taken 10,000 to get to the 1000 I'd say you've done well! Seems I take as many as 200 some days to post my one! On the other hand, there are days when I hit 10 and I have to quit . . .
January 24th, 2013  
Great shot for your 1000th and a definite fav. for me. Haven't seen one before. Hope you don't suffer too much from your fall. I have an aunt in her 80s who has been falling over in public all her life much to every else's embarrassment! Thanks heavens it doesn't seem to run in the family.
January 24th, 2013  
This is such a beautiful shot; many congratulations on your 1000th upload not sure the way to celebrate is by falling down (and worse in public). You are going to feel so sore and stiff today, hope you are ok
January 24th, 2013  
Congratulations on your milestone 1000th photo Carolyn. Looking forward to 1000 more! The lighting on this guy is perfect to showcase his stripes.

He's lovely! At first I thought he was a flicker, then I thought he looked dove shaped. I don't really know much about birds anyway. :-) Congrats on 1000
