300 Days until the US Open at Chambers Bay

I have been walking Chambers Creek Properties for years. I have been carrying a camera since 2009. With the US Open coming to the Chambers Bay Golf Course, which is part of the property, I have decided to share a picture each day for the 365 days leading up to the tournament. The US Open is scheduled to begin on June 18, 2015. As of today, we are 300 days away.

Today's Picture:
Chambers Creek Ospreys
Taken on August 22, 2013

Even in late August, the Ospreys (Pandion haliaetus) can be found using the remnants of their nest. We have a little sibling rivalry going on.

I have decided to make a slight change in how these posts are working. My original thought was to include the Flickr code for an embedded frame so blog visitors could use certain controls such as next and previous pictures, a quick link to the picture, and a link to my photostream. Unfortunately, Blogger doesn't know how to share the picture when I add a Google+ link. I'm guessing this is similar with other sharing services. I am now using Flickr's more simplistic code which includes the picture and a link. I accidentally posted once with this simpler code, and I'm confident that this will work better with sharing.
