been coming around a lot more of late. One of these girls seems to be more trusting than the others ...we almost got one to drink out of a glass in my wife's hand, of course at the time my camera was in the house:huh 187909102-L.jpg

I think the orange ball is light off my neighbors car.

    Those are beautiful. I am trying to get shots like that. I read if you wear red, the birds are more apt to check you out!

    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!"

    That "orange ball" makes for a very cool backdrop on the 2nd shot.

    Good catches, Dave. thumb.gif
