I’ve been following Miriam’s Five in Five posts for some time, and decided this might be a good year to join in with Sandie’s meme. Since I’m not doing a Project 365 this year, I’ll need some motivation to keep the camera at hand. We’re on our way back to the sub-zero cold, so I decided to start my year out with five photos in five minutes on Fort Myers Beach—a much more pleasant outdoor environment than I’m likely to find at home. (Although Sandie’s “5 in 5” of her art journal page is fabulous, so I guess I can’t use the weather as an excuse!)
It hasn’t been as warm here as it has the last couple of years, but we’ve managed a long walk every day even though we’re in jeans and sneakers instead of shorts and sandals. Here are five shots in five minutes—lots of birds, of course. They’re my favorite subject when we’re here.
I’m happy to have a new project to add to my list for 2016.
Your bird pictures are wonderful. They really have a coastal feel to them: that light!
You have captured the birds really well. I hope you enjoy doing 5 in 5. I really enjoy doing it and looking at everyone else’s. I always think it is a shame more people don’t do it.
Great 5 in 5. I always enjoy this meme & glad you are joining in. Seems we are shaking things up this year.
Welcome to ‘5in5’ Karen and thank you for joining in! It is lovely to know you will be sharing photos and I too have decided to give Project 365 a rest this year, so I feel I am in good company.
I love your photos of the birds and beach. Finding and collecting shells is something I really enjoy and I spy some here with holes in, I like to thread these and hang them in my garden. I think I recognise oyster catchers and an egret? We have both those local to where I live, though there might be subtle differences.
Enjoy your walks and make the most of the warmer temperatures while you can. I look forward to having your company again and seeing more of your photos.
lovely shots of the birds and shells – nice to see a warmer scene
Just delightful! There is something special about the quality of light at the coast and you have really made the most of it.
So cool – that oyster catcher and the heron!
Great shots – I’m looking forward to seeing your take on this new project this year!
Fantastic! I’m really looking forward to seeing your photos this year. I’ve always admired your year long challenges (I especially remember the crayon one!)

What a delightful entre´ in what looks like a very fun meme…and the challenge is well met.
Cheers~
Oh these are lovely – makes me determined to get to the beach this year as it didn’t happen last year.
