Well I've now passed a month in my Project 365.  Only eleven more to go!  Today I struggled with a photo.  It was incredibly windy here today which took out macro outdoor shots and I wasn't sure what else to shoot.  I then discovered a little red squirrel running along the bank all day collecting green pine cones that where falling from the trees.  While I pursued the perfect shot of this little guy all day I kept the camera handy by the patio door.  Despite lots of shots I didn't get one I was happy with.  
Then I looked up and saw this Belted Kingfisher sitting on our boat canopy frame.  I have been seeing this bird all week fly by with fish in his mouth and making lots of noise at anything approaching but he was always too far way.  I quickly grabbed the camera and slowly opened the door and began shooting.  Despite the distance I still got some nice pics that I had to crop down.  Below is my favorite.  Maybe I'll get lucky and get some more chances to photograph this beautiful bird this week.
