I usually do have a camera around my neck!
Me too! Went to your site and saw your beautiful pictures. Looks like you love birds, me too. I also like to take pictures of flowers. I am way amateur, though. I live in WI so have all the seasons and no nifty swamp.
We do have Horicon Marsh, the largest cattail marsh in the US about an hour away. That can be wonderful. Also we have lots of beautiful country places. I love taking pictures and capturing things that are fleeting and being able to enjoy them later. It's not always easy to capture that special picture, though.
I like to capture with the camera pictures that remind me of Monet's paintings. That can be a challenge.
