Bird watching, garden walk

 

We had a little sun this morning, seemed like a good time to play with my camera.  I got it for Christmas and I’m still learning.  I snapped 95 photos & 10 were decent enough (I hope) to share.  I spent a good hour chasing a pair of blue birds and totally picked the wrong time to go inside when 2 cardinals flew through the yard.  Anyhow, here’s the results of my morning!

We’ve got a million of these bluish-black birds in the yard.

Lots of these little guys too, I picked up a replacement feeder for the one that broke last year and they’re all over it.

That’s the best blue bird shot I got…they’re quick!

Here’s where I gave up on long-distance moving targets & switched to macros.

J’s red beets finally came up in the mud.

Tiny hot pepper is already flowering.

No clue what this flowering shrub is but it’s looking pretty.

This was my birthday lily last year & the inspiration for my tattoo.
