The stars were still twinkling when my feet hit the floor this beautiful morning. Why?Something was bothering me, and I intended to rise with the dawn to remedy it. What could possibly be bothering a farm girl living in paradise?
There is something I have been keeping from you- something BIG.
I intended to share my secret with bunches of amazing photos but, although I have tried and tried, I have produced but a few mediocre photos. However, I can’t keep it in any longer…
I am in love!with the birds. In fact, I am a complete bird nut.
Why, while professing my feathered fancy, would I show a picture of nuts?
Here is my problem: This……. is my picture of ducks. Do you see the ripples? It’s proof- they were here.
And this……..is my picture of a chickadee. Look closely, it’s like an ‘I spy’ game.
I thought for sure by getting up at the crack of dawn, I would, unsuspectingly, nab a few sleepy feathers but no luck.
I do have a few that I took through the kitchen window. Like this:and this:
and this:
but, they lack character.
I did a little better lying on my back, under a pile of weeds, for an eternity in the sunflowers.This actually worked, but it felt too much like work. I have come to realize successful photographing of the birds is not for a nut like me.
Just a moment, I’ll be right back…..
I left because the room was filled with a sweet song that I did not recognize. This is what I found sitting on the top of our fireplace chimney-a bird and a bee!!
I had already labeled this post, The birds and the bee, because I intended to end with this photo:because the bee has so much character, but I guess God had other plans! So I end with this:
God is chuckling- again!
That’s all from this feather-filled prairie. Have a good day!
Oh those darn birds, elusive aren’t they?! You captured some nice ones, and the bee, lovely!
