It's been a while since I took a bird shot that I liked. Today I managed to spend a little time with and eastern bluebird who posed for me a bit.

I managed one shot of this Oriole as well. He was in the shadows and this was almost entirely lit by my flas unit.

I hope you enjoyed them.

Thanks for looking.

    I'm surprised you found a Bluebird that would sit still long enough to take a shot!

    Good captures. :D

    I'm turning green with envy
    I have been trying for years to get a shot at one of the Orioles that feed in my yard. If I open a door, even a door on a different side of the house, they fly off. In August I managed to get a couple of pictures, but I wasn't really close enough.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Thx for the kind words everyone.

    I would love to post more often but I have had a hard time finding time for my photograpy. I have been (Cover your ears Harry) working 70 hours a week since June.

    I squeeze it in when I can.

    It really helps me get through the day to peek in each evening and see what people are shooting, so thank you all for sharing yours even when I dont have time to comment.
