a place to find photos, videos, thoughts, links, and sometimes even sounds of nature….Tumblr (3.0; @hawkperson)http://hawkperson.tumblr.com/<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lqhs7arGBv1r0jizbo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>immature golden eagle</p>http://hawkperson.tumblr.com/post/9377787417http://hawkperson.tumblr.com/post/9377787417Thu, 25 Aug 2011 12:23:00 -0400<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/aralcal/5895953874/in/pool-1259323@N25">amazing hummingbird from Columbia!</a>http://hawkperson.tumblr.com/post/8763502365http://hawkperson.tumblr.com/post/8763502365Wed, 10 Aug 2011 23:26:26 -0400<a href="http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2011/08/110802-frogs-deformed-parasites-animals-environment-mutants/">truth is always stranger</a>http://hawkperson.tumblr.com/post/8470667958http://hawkperson.tumblr.com/post/8470667958Thu, 04 Aug 2011 09:29:57 -0400<p>It is so difficult for me to stay on top of this blogging thing, but I think it is worth the effort.  Honestly, it is very obvious to me that there are more blogs and words in the world than anyone could ever hope to want to look at, and my words will not mean much to anyone else.  But it helps me to focus on what I do and what I want to learn.</p> <p> This is blog attempt number 3, maybe 4 if you count Flickr which is a kind of photo journal blog for me.  Blog #1, &#8220;one eye shut&#8221; contains just the record of a marvelous 3 week trip to Europe.  Blogspot was still fairly tricky to work with at that time, and hard to put pictures in where you wanted them to be etc so I quickly walked away from that and just focused on Flickr (hawkperson), which I have faithfully kept up to date with and will continue to do - I am a huge fan of Flickr.  Came back later to blogspot and tried again, &#8220;10000 hours of photography&#8221;, and blogspot features were better and I created many more entries there than in the first effort.  </p> <p>What excites me about tumblr is the ability to create an entry with a combination of photos, text, and sound.  My husband frequently records nature sounds in parallel with me clicking away nearby.  We both are interested in what we might be able to do with the combination in some more sophisticated way, but neither of us has the time to do that right now.  So at least cool to be able to create and post these combinations for now, here.
