I find them quite easy to take, just move slow, its the birds I have trouble with, unless blurry bird pictures come into fashion I am beat.

Yes and you can also scroll through all the photos on a particular thread page that way, which is very convenient.

Well where are the pictures of the foster child? You tell us foster child then show us birds, lizards, grasshoppers, and flowers???

 

[Roy1961]

Sorry Jeff, I cant post pictures of the foster children, well not yet, we are half way though adopting one, then I can post the pictures, Here is one of Ryan, we adopted him, had him from 4 weeks old, just had his 4th birthday 2 weeks ago, if everything goes well we will have another little boy in a few months.

while at the park this morning a bike ride came through, they were on their first leg of a double 100 mile loop, stopping for some rest, drinks and time check, they only had another 120 miles to go, the guy who was riding the bike in first picture was 65 and from San Fran, hope he didn't cycle down

The squirrel is great. Tack sharp on the eye. Hard to do with bush in front.

I've never seen a hummingbird at any of my bottlebrush flowers. I'll have to keep an eye out for them.

thanks Don, second try, first was over exposed dark.

Marilynne, my neighbor has this tree, I see them hovering at the low branches, when I go out with my camera they retreat.

Roy, we have three bottlebrushes on the driveway, 2 on one side, 1 on the other. There really aren't any low branches, so maybe that's why I don't see any. Maybe hummingbirds don't like heights!!

took these on Thursday, first two just playing with the focus point, last one was a wren (I think) coming out of its nest, one of the very few portrait pictures I take.

its beautiful outside now, high 80's, going out now to take some for today, then throw something on the bbq and a nice cool drink.

Enjoy your photography today people.

here's a few from todays walkabout, thought the last one was "different", its a tunnel (smelt like a sewer) with graffiti, but the sun is shinning at me and I have it blown out abit, I liked it.

sat in the front yard today while the kids played in the paddling pool, chased a few humming birds around neighbors bottle brush.
