Day 321 - February 11, 2011 - The Birds

Wednesday was a snow day for me! Mother Nature just keeps on dumping

on us in Nashville. So with the roads in slick shape, I took

off work. I could not let that day go to waste but I am learning

so fast that there are just so many times and ways that you can

photograph the snow in your own yard!

With that, I decided to leave the dog in the house and I went out

once again into my white yard but this time to see

if I could catch some birds in action. I left the dog

in the house cause on my past attempts to do this,

he scares them all off by chasing them.

Got this mess of guys in the backyard high in the trees.

They were making a lot of noise.

Then I caught this cutie setting in the tree near the front of the drive.

All my trees line the drive across the creek. And getting

this next guy was a challenge.

I started at the front of the drive trying to catch a shot of her. But she

would either be behind small branches, to far away or I would

scare her off with the sound of the frozen crunching snow!

But I got this shot of her.

Next I found this one sitting on the line next to the front porch....

just waiting and posing.

And last but not least...I shot this one from my desk in the

craft/office in front of the window.

Thanks for stopping in.
