I began this blog in 2011 in an attempt to improve my photography and showcase all of California's 58 counties. I didn't quite make all of the 58, I missed three and I will try to rectify that in the coming year. I'm not sure how much I improved my photography because I always seemed to be in a rush. In 2012 I plan to take more time, perhaps not post every day (this is one thing I did accomplish in 2011). I also plan to expand beyond California and include images from other parts of Western United States. I will continue to include a map showing where I was when I took the picture. I will keep commentary to a minimum, long photo essays will continue to be at Martha's Musings.
Wonderful capture of the grouse, Martha! I wonder why they call it "blue." Doesn't seem to be any blue OR gray in his coloring. You're right about the camouflage, though -- perfectly suited for his environment.

Great bird. I love Olstead Point. Born and raised in the Bay Area, I look forward to "following" you around my home state!
Nice closeup! I think the bird is just as curious about you as you are about it!
What a great cover!
Even so close up you can barely make him out!
Great shot and find!
grouse are great - nice shot ! :)

Awesome shot of the Blue Grouse Martha! I look forward to your California posts.
