They are so kind about posing for me. And such sweet birds, somehow.<BR/><BR/>peppylady - thanks for adding me to your coffee pals. Sorry Spring hasn't arrived where you are. It has felt very slow in arriving this year. The last snow just melted off my back porch the day before yesterday.<BR/><BR/>ellen b - I'm so glad somebody listened to the song. I guess I should have labeled it better. Maybe I'll fix that now.<BR/><BR/>the teach - I'm not sure what macro shots are. After Tara Grace - bless her - pushed my antique HP 1.5 megapixel with no zoom off the desk a month or so ago, I got a Canon Powershot with 8.5 megapixels and a 10x zoom. It was a really good sale at Amazon.com and even though I couldn't afford it, I couldn't not afford it either. One of the best over-rides of good sense I've ever indulged in.

After years with only 1.5 pixels and no zoom, I am in hog heaven (and of course wish I had more pixels and more zoom... but I'm still like a kid in a candy store). <BR/><BR/>frogs ponds rock - isn't that tree just amazing? It's in my neighbor's hard and I loved it even before I could zoom in on it and see it's eyes and faces.<BR/><BR/>Andree - you are such an awesome photographer. I was pretty amazed that I was able to get the junco and the grackle... Is that what it is or a starling? I used to know those things.<BR/><BR/>Shrijnana - it really is pretty here. My back yard is small and sweet and requires little or no tending. Would probably be nicer if it got some, but that's life. My neighbors across the street have an awesome huge yard that's like a park and I don't have to do anything to take care of it either, just enjoy the beauty.<BR/><BR/>dianne - thanks. I missed you the past few days. You're lucky.
