Birds in the morning...

~

After finishing up chores this morning I sat on the front porch and watched the deer (saw a nice buck with 13 does) and the birds. After a few minutes I decided to go grab the camera and get photos of the chipping sparrows and cardinals.

A few of the months were ones I won't post, a bit personal, but we had fun. I'm exhausted and hurting but I enjoyed the practice taking portraits. Goodness knows I need the practice, I still prefer bugs, critters and nature photos, lol. She also came out here to the house which was so much better, easy on my gas tank :o) I think he's going to be happy with the results. Tomorrow we make the calendar and hopefully I'll remember to get some photos of the finished product to share with y'all.

There's a story here...

I had an idea this evening...Since walking hurts and sitting with my feet on the ground isn't to comfortable either I thought I'd put a blanket down on the sidewalk, feed the birds, lay down on the blanket and take photos. I was trying to get photos of the chipping sparrows that are frequenting the yard lately...Well after I got all situated and thought I was in a good spot and position to get photos...everyone shows up but the darn chipping sparrows!!!

Julie came over to check me out when she realized her crazy owner was okay she then turned to check out the cows and deer that were standing off in the distance...

~

Then Lydia came to join me, sigh! This idea of mine is NOT working!
~

Then KitCat came to join the party!!
Sometimes it's nice to know I am loved...grrr
~

Still no chipping sparrows, can't say as I blame them when a cat is sitting next to the feeder!!

Okay the Cardinals showed up!!
~

But they weren't leaving their perches in the tree.

Ekk and here comes the darn chickens!! Everything but the chipping sparrows!! When I had my bright idea there were no other animals in the yard, nope not a one...I suppose they know who feeds them and wanted to make sure I was okay, lol...It was getting a might bit chilly as the sun set so I just gave up and came in the house. And yes after I came inside the chipping sparrows came back, sigh! Ahh well there is always another day!
