Sometimes I get great bird photos when I head out, and other days they are nothing but a big mess. Today was one of those days when the birds were really far away. Not only were they far, but they were little, and kept hiding in the trees. I actually have a few photos with nothing but shrubbery. Waldo wasn’t there.
Although this beautiful cow greeted me when arriving to the park at dawn.
An unexpected trip to Florida will be this week as my mother isn’t doing well. I’m not sure how much I’ll be able to get out and explore, but I hope to continue posting daily. It helps to have the mental creative break.
Hope you have a great week, and enjoy my lousy bird pics! Bella

Little birds are very frustrating to shoot! You need the time to sit still in their space and let them come to you.
It can take hours with the birds in my area, they aren’t used to people at all.
I sat..they left and never came back. 🙂 Will try again when I return from my trip. Thanks Ben!
So sorry about your mom’s illness, Emily. She’ll be so glad to see you. It’s still very hot here. The cow is gorgeous and the little birds very cute. 🙂
Hi Sylvia ! Thank you so much for your kind words and wonderful support. It’s been a difficult week, but she has been surrounded by friends and family. Loved the cow though..Thank you!
Reblogged this on My Blog snuppy.
So thrilled you liked this enough to share with your readers Paul. Thank you.
Sorry to hear that your mother is doing poorly, hope that she gets well soon! That’s quite a few great photos for a bad day.
Ha ! You call those great photos ??? Where’s that high bar you set??
Alas, this is a good-bye visit, so we are waiting for her to move on. Thank you for your caring and support.
I like these little birds! I can’t believe summer 2013 is ending soon. All these little angels well be somewhere warm. 😦
I tell you..it’s so hot in Maryland this week, I think they’ll stay awhile.
I agree it’s been HOT here too!
My thoughts go out to you and your Mom.
You are so kind, and your loving words mean so much to me. Thank you so much.
Best of luck to your Mom travel safely
If it was only so easy for mom, but alas it isn’t. Appreciate your warm support and thank you so much.
Sorry 😦
