[QUOTE="piperbarb, post: 156263, member: 12214"] 6-2-13: Part 1. I'm breaking today's images into two posts. It will make sense once you see them. All photos today were taken with my D3000, 55-200mm Nikkor non-VR zoom lens, ISO 400, f/8. These doves have been hanging around lately. I think they have a nest nearby but I haven't found out where, yet. Anyway, I know they are a dull, common bird, but I found them quite entertaining this morning. Here are two photos of this pair. [B]I Needed That Stretch[/B] [ATTACH=CONFIG]39173._xfImport[/ATTACH] The way these two were walking around reminded me of an old cartoon I saw when I was little. In it, were two large cats (I think a lion and tiger), walking in opposite direcctions in their cages. When they would pass each other, one would say to the other, "Bread and butter." [B]"Bread & Butter"[/B] [ATTACH=CONFIG]39174._xfImport[/ATTACH] We have a very large, old rhododendron right next to the house in front of a window. There are always birds, espcecially dark-eyed juncos, in the bush. I have been trying to get photos of the birds for a few weeks now. There is a screen on the window so I have to shoot through the screen. That screen really softens the focus. I ended up with three okay shots. Below is one of them.[B] Humidity Just Kills My 'Do[/B] [ATTACH=CONFIG]39175._xfImport[/ATTACH] Finally, what walk in the woods be complete without the opportunistic fungus photo. :) I have no idea what type of fungus this is, but it is on several trees.
