I was sitting on my porch enjoying cup of coffee, when 2 birdies came wondering around. I ran outside to get my cam.

Enjoy! :D

    Very nice Marina.

    You was so exited to see those strange visitors that you forgot to capture the whole legs in some pictures.

    Thanks for sharing,

    Dick.

    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!"

    Marina, I'm not sure how I missed this thread but glad I caught up with it. That's quite a backyard you must have to entertain such stately visitors. I love the portraits. Outstanding sharpness and detail. Excellent work.

    Great shots Marina! They come right up to you don't they? They sure aren't shy. I love the clarity in your photos.

    Thanks Jester!! Yes, you can come up to them very close, but you've got to do it slowly not to scare them away. They will just look at you and continue their own thing Laughing.gif. They are great photo subjects, very easy!! :D
