Just to catch you up...

I have been taking pictures lately... I just haven't posted any of them yet.  :)  

These are dew drop pictures:

 This is a picture of a catalpa tree.  I like the angle in this one. 

 Male Cardinal.... photo could be better...

Female Cardinal.

Male House Finch.

Who knew that I could take so many good photos in a patch of Sneeze-weed!!!  :D  Actually I'm not quite sure if it is sneeze weed or not.... so please correct me if I'm wrong!  :)

 Thistle. Again.... Who thinks of taking a picture of the BACK of the flower?  :D

And this is a sneak peek at one of our little chicks.  I hope to post pictures of our gardens and our little chicks.  :) 

Have a nice Sunday!!

Bird Success

It was a cold morning and the bird feeders were full of seed.  They were everywhere!  On cold mornings they are always hungry!  I decided that it would be a great chance to practice taking pictures of birds.  And the good thing is:  They actually came out pretty good!!  :) I got to use my mom's camera and her nice lens.  Here are some:


Cardinals:

 What a mouthful!  

 These are neat "male and female" shots. 

Pretty female cardinal. :)

This male has decided that the feeder is HIS.  

Notice how the entire feeder is leaning.  :)

Doesn't she look fluffy?  :D 

Mourning Doves:

These creatures are the easiest things to photograph because they have pea-sized(or smaller) brains.  You can pretty much get within two feet of them before they decided to actually take flight.  

:)  One of them is blinking.  

Right now in the GBBC the Northern Cardinal has made 1st place for most frequently reported species with the Mourning Dove at a close second.  

More pictures later!!  :)
