And this was my first bald eagle that wasn't just a dot in the sky:

I wasn't named after anyone. I'm just me

I wasn't named AFTER anyone, but I was named BY someone different than just my parents. I was named by my maternal grandmother.
She and my g'father had a deal; he got to name the girls, and she got to name the boys.
They had three girls, Zero boys.

So when my mom and dad had kids, by the time they got to #5, they were tired of naming them anyway. LOL, not really--but they decided to let my grandmother name me.

She chose Sharon because she loved roses, so I'm not named after person, but after a rose...The Rose of Sharon.

Perfect. It fits.

See you are so artistic. It's just one of the things I can't grasp. I appreciate what you have posted but, I can't produce such images... Really frustrating! Lol

I have always had a need to express myself creatively. For me, photography was just a means to do that. My mom was an incredible painter, my sister and oldest brother were skilled at drawing and writing--as the youngest, I never felt like anything I did measured up. Until I found photography.

I can build you whatever you want. I'm great at seeing it in my minds eye. When it comes to seeing artistic beauty I walk right past it every time.

I'm home. MLW had to get stuff together for the weekend - she bought a crap load of work home, that I will help her with.

Boy, y'all know how to do the weekend up right, huh?

I brought work home too.

I just returned from Sarasota FL two weeks ago from a job and man oh man Eagles galore! I saw them fly by me everyday from about 30 feet away. Around here I can't get within 300 feet of them.

I got the painting in the mail box for Mish. I used a box instead of an envelope to keep t from getting bent up. Then I grabbed some political junk mail and stuffed in the box to keep the painting from rattling around.

I'm really, really hoping to get down to Florida this winter for a week to photograph birds. Just depends on whether I get the funds to do it or not.

I still need to find the bus picture I have in mind for you to work with.
