Small towns will surprise you with things to photograph. Abilene is a community of roughly 125,000. On the surface, their doest seem to be much. You see Abilene is a quirky little community, the migration path provides a varied selection of birds to photograph. Birds I didn’t think I would have the chance to personally see let alone photograph. Cranes, Egrets, and Herons are my favorites. But that’s just Birds.

In moving back to Abilene Texas I made the decision to involve myself in the community. I re-joined the VFW and I’m a lifetime member now. I’ve also become a Texas Master Naturalist (Hill Country Chapter).I attended a 5 month class through the Texas A&M University and The County Extension Office. The class was taught by individuals who had master degrees in things like astronomy entomology, soil and geology citizen science & interpretation. Just to name a few subjects covered. The text book along was 5 pounds.

I have found may things to take photos of from birds to buildings to cars. I enjoy it immensely it gets me out of the house and into the great out doors. So as this blog progresses Ill post pics and a something about it
