WEEK #4 - THE FINAL WEEK OF ANNE WATSON PHOTOGRAPHY'S FACEBOOK GIVE-AWAY CONTEST

It's here! Week #4 - the final week of the Anne Watson Photography's Facebook Give-Away Contest!

Every week for four weeks I am posting a Weekly Photo on the Anne Watson Photo Facebook Page of an everyday object shot from an unusual angle.  Fans of the page simply need to comment on the photo to guess what it is, and if they guess correctly they'll be entered to win - it's that simple!

We are having four weekly winners (who will each win a matted & framed 5x7 print of their choice from the Anne Watson Photography galleries), and one Grand Prize winner chosen from a pool of those who guess all four weekly photos correctly (who will win a matted & framed 8x10 print of their choice).

Below is a preview of this week's photo - can you guess what this everyday object is?! If so, just click here to be taken to our Facebook page and comment under the photo to enter your guess! If you guess correctly, you're entered to win. It's that easy! Good luck!

RESCUING A BABY SPARROW

There are many reasons why I love my husband, Tim Watson. Right up at the top of the list is his gentle, caring nature. He might look like a tough, motorcycle-riding, scruffy-bearded Englishman on the outside. But, get to know him, and you will soon see he's like an M&M - hard outer shell with a sweet, soft center.

Yesterday was a perfect example of this. Riding his motorcycle, he stopped at a light in a major intersection - looking down he spotted a tiny baby sparrow flopping around in the road. It was surely going to die out there if Tim didn't do something about it. So, he stopped his motorcycle - risking his own life, got off his bike & proceeded to direct traffic around the baby bird until he was able to pick it up, stuff it in his leather jacket pocket, and ride home with it.

I received an email at work yesterday afternoon asking if I'd pick up some meal worms on my way home. Yep, never a dull moment in our marriage, I tell ya'!

We are now nursing the sweet little thing back to health - feeding it regularly, keeping it warm - it is chirping away in its little 'nest' we made for it on the kitchen counter as I type this.  One thing's for sure - I can never claim to have a boring life!!...

SHOOTING THE MOON

We've been having some very strange weather here in Southern California lately. Well, strange for Orange County in the month of May anyways.  One minute it's boiling hot and sunny, the next it's chilly and raining.

Last night some clouds were rolling through over the Full Moon as the next round of rain was coming in and it felt like Halloween in the middle of Spring. I expected a wolf to start howling and a black cat to run across my path (our black Pug did, if that counts?!?).   It was time to grab the camera and have some fun shooting the Moon.
