100 Swans

I came home to find about 100 wild swans (and a few assorted Canada geese) in my front yard.

And I can't find my camera!!!

That is very cool ! I love seeing wildlife in my yard and on my drive to and from work. It is my stress relief. I have been keeping my camera in the car so I can take pics. On my way to work for my monday job I often see Big Horn Sheep and on the way home Elk. I had taken my camera out of the car to take to a wedding on the 13th, and what do you know, on the way home on the 15th there was a huge heard of ELK ! So I took a couple pics with my phone camera.

Crap! I didn't think of my phone.

I'm actually a cell phone neophyte and haven't learned to use the photo part yet. That will be my job this weekend.

Herds of elk, how cool. Here on Vancouver Island I've only seen them singly. And I believe they're not quite as big as mainland ones. One jumped off a bank onto my car one rainy night and wrecked it. I'm not sure how he fared as I couldn't find him afterward.

Because we live on an estuary we get lots of sea birds and birds of prey. In the autumn I've counted 10 bald eagles out front. We also get sea and river otters. The seals stay out in the deeper bay Water.

Love it.

I don't know how to use my phone camera very well and I suck with the computer too. I was just trying to figure out how to get the pics from the phone to the PC. It takes me awhile, but I gett it figured out.
