Picture-A-Week 2014 - Week 40

Pictures taken between Monday, September 29 and Sunday, October 5.

Well here it is Oct 1 and out of six 4'o'clock plants, I have only gotten a couple of flowers the last couple of days.

Picture was taken at 10 AM because by 4 PM -- they are closed up.

Even though we have a large cement bird bath, the wrens think the small plastic dish on the porch is better. When there are 5 and 6 of them trying to get in at the same time, I never have my camera handy.

But I got a few pictures.

Great pictures dileep.

I dig Fat Albert as much as the Blue Angels! Nice line up shot.

Aww...that is soo cute!

This past weekend, I did some Saturday birding in the wetlands with my mirrorless camera system - Sony A6000, 55-210mm lens, and DH1758 1.7x teleextender:

I was going to post photos of dirty brown sparrows and featureless crows but then I thought, "Why?"

I don't envy the humidity and bugs, but I certainly envy your access to local wildlife.

Nice shots, as usual!

Indeed I did! Nice editing job there.

Nice shots all. Krazy, I completely understand what you're talking about - the same thing happens in my yard. I have a great big bird bath, and put out a small plastic bowl for the squirrels to drink from - instead, all the birds like to take baths in the squirrels' water bowl!

Dileep - love the Fat Albert shot too - all the planes are awesome, but I've always liked those big lumbering monsters!

The internet has been a boon to almost every business that has adapted to its use. "Almost" is the operative word.
