the world from behind her camera

The yearly visitors are back! I mean birds, HUNGRY birds, not ANGRY :P
Every winter my husband buys birdfeeds for these beautiful creatures. Some are migratory, some are local Elvises who aren’t leaving the premise because of the free chow. Premise means our little backyard. My husband hangs the feeds on our pear tree.
As I am not a bird watcher nor like those professionals with loooooooong telescopic lenses, hence the cropped image ha ha! Actually I take photos from inside our home, behind a window where I make myself as small as possible (like that’s ever going to happen at my weight and size he he) so these birds can quietly enjoy the feeds and not be scared of the lady with that strange circular thing on her face that is always pointed at them.
But these darn cuties move so quickly most of the time they’re long been gone before I could press the shutter or I am way too slow.. but I prefer to think the first one I mentioned.
Cute little fellow! (^0^)
We’re all happy! (085-087)

Look at us all…outside and enjoying Springtime!
Man and his colorful feathered friends! This nice man said to me: “Ready your camera, they will kiss“ and they did!
One of the ´regulars´ in the hood….this ghost, I mean dog was probably so happy because it was dry outside…it was running like mad when I saw it! Cute fellah.
Got bread?
Dec 21st
Every winter I make sure that any stale bread we have in the house will not go to waste but be given to ducks, pigeons, and water-chicken. Food source is a scarcity for these poor birds during this season luckilyand , there are people who care enough to bring them bread- from those old ladies and men I learned to do this.
It’s actually fun feeding them. From a distance they can see you coming. Tentatively they will advance a bit towards where you’re standing… looking, feeling and waiting for the next thing that’s going to happen. If they see you take out a bag (no matter what’s in it) they will race like mad to get to you! Well, they couldn’t ‘race’ to me this morning because of the thick snow but nevertheless they got their pieces of bread from me. It was also a fantastic photo opportunity for me!
