Bird Watching

I never thought bird watching could be so relaxing and peaceful.

In fact bird watching took me out of this world while I was in my own backyard. There were two woodpeckers on the apple tree this morning. I think they were courting… well, I’m sure they were. After being mesmerized by them for a few minutes, I realized I didn’t have my camera with me.

I quickly went inside the house to grab my camera to capture these beautiful birds. I was hoping they would still be there on the apple tree when I came back but knew the chances of this happening were low.

You see, I have tried to photograph birds in my backyard before, but every time I have the camera with me, there are no birds around. But when I don’t have my camera with me, the birds are all over the apple tree, courting… or maybe laughing at me.

This time, it was different, the birds were still there when I came back. They were even done laughing at me and were back to courting.

    I am glad the woodpeckers were still there when you got your camera. My interest in birds is greater than my interest in catching them in film – I wold hang around and keep watching without the camera. However, I agree, it is fun when you can also take a picture!

    Quelle patience pour prendre la photo de deux petits picverts sur un pommier . Il suffit qu’un petit peu de vent pour les éffaroucher. Je n’ai qu’un petit appareil photo pour les saisir et je n’ai de pommiers que ceux du voisin . Merci Carlos car il n’y a que des pigeons des chardonnerets, des mésanges , des moineaux et ces deux petits oiseaux viennent enrichir mon âme…….Jolies photos. Merci Carlos.
