Bird on a Nest. by happypat

Bird on a Nest.

I have had this little bird on a nest for so long I can't remember ! It has hung in both of the kitchens I have had since I got married all those years ago. I have tried all day on & off to photo this bird so that I could get it facing the right way. It has some white emulsion on it's other side left from the days when I used to do my own decorating. Because it's on a cotton thread it kept twirling round & always faced the wrong way when it stopped !!!
I think I might have got a bit of bokeh in here too...what do you think? Not the best but a start perhaps!!!
i think it is...... GREAT !

He's lovely and a real treasure when he has travelled with you through the years!

He's lovely and I love to see things that have significance for people, especially at this time of year.

You've got those lovely fairy lights on again! And a very pretty bird - apparently even broodier than our Betty! And not a speck of dust on her even after all those years.

She's taking a long time to brood her eggs! Do you have a name for her? She seems very content in your lovely kitchen.

@judithg That is so funny because the first photos I took were OK but loads of dust on her, I had to give her a good wipe with the dish cloth !

@jmj No name Jennifer I'm afraid !!

It's nice Pat, if you want bokeh do shutter priority on a little f-stop number (wide aperture)

@phil_howcroft Oh thanks Phil, I have been trying a lot today & of course forgotten all I was taught at the photo class ...not that I learnt much any way !

I think it looks great Pat. It looks like quite the nice piece. What is it made of? Wood?

I think it's sweet and how fantastic that it's been with you all these years. And, yes, I see some bonus bokeh in there.

what a pretty shot!! Very lovely bird, great you still keep it!!

That's one fat little bird and must've caught many early worms :) It's almost too big for the nest. I do like the colouring and the fact that it's been around for years.

@digitalrn Yes Rick wood but very light wood something like balsa wood I think !
