Photos, Kudos and No-no's...
Several photographers have been contributing to this blog, on a regular basis. I thank Steve Calef and Sam Haddock for their valuable, ongoing contributions. Without their artistic efforts, these would have been very bland blogs, indeed. As I become more proficient with my new camera, the photos will, increasingly, bear my copyright... and, I hope, add to your enjoyment of my six blogs.

Beautiful captures.
When you start taking bird pics, you just don't quit! I'm impressed.
Bobbie ~ Thank you! Oh, you have no idea how many I took this winter, but it was "on the job training" as I keep learning the idiosyncrasies of my little Polaroid. It involved lots of frozen fingertips, as I hung out the window, in search of the perfect shot. I'm still learning and thoroughly enjoying it!
Wow!! All of a sudden, I discovered I'm Way Behind over here! A couple of my favorite birds are the nuthatch (both white- and red-breasted) and the black-capped chickadee. You're doing a great job with your camera!!
Shady ~ I posted quite a few separate bird features on Monday - one right after another. Glad you enjoyed them!
Did you like the titmice and white-breasted nuthatch, as well? They're some of my favorites, too! That photo of the angry titmouse, with upright crest, is enough to scare any bird... pretty tough little characters - they constantly squawk at each other, over who's going to the feeder, first.
Shady ~ Oops! Just realized the titmouse is not yet posted... he's coming up in the next one. I'm sitting here, laughing at his "bad hair day!"
