Currently I am working on learning the use of filters. <BR/>The birds and I have a "relationship" and I hope that comes across!<BR/>Some of the birds, like Mocking Birds, are very sociable. I think they are funny!<BR/>Learning the camera and teaching it to see what I see has been an adventure! <BR/>Thank you for your encouragement!<BR/>SherryQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02473455565144414399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27765182.post-22689358851672222472007-04-12T09:19:00.000-05:002007-04-12T09:19:00.000-05:00Sherry,How do you get such wonderful photos?

I have listened to branches cracking and powerlines snapping under the weight of freezing rain.<BR/>I send blessings to you and Deb as nightfall desends. I got chilled just thinking about freezing rain...<BR/>May you and your gardens be safe.<BR/><BR/>Mocking Bird is so funny. A dependable bird that always cheers me up!<BR/>He has personality! <BR/>SherryQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02473455565144414399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27765182.post-88951432370556432252007-04-11T20:57:00.000-05:002007-04-11T20:57:00.000-05:00Hi Deb,Sea Gulls, how lovely.

I am inland and only see the gulls when I travel. <BR/>The squirrels seem to gobble up everything I put out too! I have been giving the Mocking Bird and the Jays raisins. The squirrels do not eat them!<BR/>SherryQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02473455565144414399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27765182.post-51323185991820311402007-04-11T18:24:00.000-05:002007-04-11T18:24:00.000-05:00I live in the same region as Deb above, and as I l...I live in the same region as Deb above, and as I look outside it appears we have freezing rain..Poor gardens..!<BR/>I love the look on the mocking bird's face in the second photograph, if birds could have an expression..he has one..LOLSheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06731396546695910306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27765182.post-58003646945984544342007-04-11T17:37:00.000-05:002007-04-11T17:37:00.000-05:00Our weather today has been very tempermental - we ...Our weather today has been very tempermental - we are expecting either wet snow or rain this evening and it is very windy. This afternoon our garden was full of seagulls. I put out peanuts for our 1 visiting blue jay but the squirrels gobbled them up before he returned :-(Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13874781381364710459noreply@blogger.com
