Saturday was a wonderful day for me. It was the "Mid-Winters" convention sponsored by the Penn-Jersey Rose Society. I haven't been to this convention for any number of reasons for a number of years. This year, I not only went, but entered the photo contest that they have.
It's been awhile since I'd won any photo contests so a win was really needed. And so I did! The cluster photo of Patio Pearl took 1st place in it's class. It didn't win best in show, but this award has always seemed to ellude me. Still, a 1st place was very good and I am feeling better than I have in awhile.
Today was another good day. Inbetween snow squalls, we went to the nearby Conestoga River to get some pictures and home movies. We weren't there long because it is still pretty cold, but we did get some pretty nice shots of the river and the local wildlife.
The water in the river basin was so clear you could see all the way to the bottom and it looked quite shall, though it is rather deep right here. This is the mouth of the Conestoga River where it empties into the Susquehanna River.
This little White Throated Sparrow posed sweetly for me, letting me get rather close without being anxious. He just went about his business of finding and eating food as I took pictures of him. It was almost like he knew what I was doing and approved.
