365*166 - Assignment; I Spy: "RAILROAD TRACKS"

I really loved this weeks assignment!!

I am fascinated by railroad tracks
but respect the heck out of them
and keep my distance.

This assignment forced me to
get up close and personal with the tracks
to get a good shot!

I couldn't decide which I liked best
color or B&W... I welcome your input!

Thank you Kristal for this assignment ♥

Momma & Daddy dove are parents AGAIN!!!

This was truly a test of patience for me...
I received a text while at work that
one of the eggs had hatched, I was so excited to see
the new baby...

Our little dove family is pretty predictable;
Daddy dove comes by between 6-7 pm while
Mommy dove heads out for awhile.

I knew that I had a small window in which to try
and capture the new chick while it's parents
changed places on the nest. But before that
I had to wait 30 minutes once Daddy arrived
until they finally made the switch!

Both parents were extremely tolerant of me
while I snapped their little one ♥
(Jenn, I had your kiddos in mind while shooting!)
