263 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 263 days away.

Today's Picture:

Taken on July 6, 2014

There are reasons that I focus primarily on wildlife. I go to the same park frequently. A bird in flight is quite different from a bird standing or a bird landing. By comparison, a scenery shot doesn't change nearly as much between sunny and cloudy conditions. I don't want to take anything from landscape photography. Conditions can definitely change how a scene looks. Personally, I rarely take landscape pictures at the park unless I get abnormally interesting conditions such as the clouds seen above the old sorting bins in this picture.
