Some bird time

Recently we were looking at some old home movies and the children were laughing because I would apparently get bored with what they were doing and turn the camera to things around me and tape them instead. The common things that I taped were the birds. So what can I say, I do enjoy watching birds and here are some images from today. You have to look close to see the shy one I photographed first.

Spring is here.

I love the first blossoms of spring that always come on y Apricot trees. I was a little surprised though to see a butterfly already. There was a bumblebee also that was very protective of the turf. He chased me away even when I was about 10 feet from the tree using a 300 mm lens. Very strange but I obeyed after he came real close and kept getting closer.

A walk around the field

The birds were singing and the sun was setting. A perfect time to go for a walk.
