R & R Time…I’ll be back! | H.J. Ruiz - Avian101

R & R Time…I’ll be back!

My post today will be to let you know about my one week vacation with my family. We are driving tomorrow Saturday to several places in the west coast of Florida.

We have plans to enjoy the beaches and also the bird preserves I frequently visit. We had a productive year and I think we deserve some R&R! I will resume posting next Sunday, November30th. I suggest that you visit my older posts and photos and get to know some of my work or try to catch up with posts you might have missed. Thank you!

I leave you one photo that I’ve recently shot, I hope you like it!

  Being with birds all the time I guess that explains my urge to go South! 🙂
  Thanks Nanette!
