A friend of mine on project 365, Rachel (http://365project.org/rachdbo/365) was sooo kind today and she mentioned being inspired by my bird photos. I was so touched that I welled up and I just think it's the sweetest thing. Anyways, I checked out her bird picture and it was of a junco! I sat there and thought, hey, there are juncos outside at my feeder all the time! And so here is where Rachel inspired me to finally capture a picture of these little guys... My boyfriend calls them "little sh*%heads", haha... Thanks for the inspiration Rachel!!! :D
Very nice. I can't wait for the birds to come back to my neck of the woods. Finally got my bird feeders back up and this long and cold winter has kept them all away.
@marubozo I bet you're excited!! I am lucky to live in a place where many birds winter and then even more come for the summer... Not the same as when I was in Newfoundland! Where abouts are you from? :)
Aww.. I just mentioned you in my comment today too! LOL I really like the coloring of this little guy. I don't think I have ever seen one of these guys. Nice depth of field again my friend!
{{vision getting blurry}} **sniffle** Now I'm the one who's very touched by your words. Isn't it great that we can inspire each other? That is part of what makes 365 so great! To learn and grow from each other as photographers.
I love the picture too! The focus and setting. It shows him off nicely. I love the curious tilt of his head. :)
@jupiterjanes Oh don't get all wet eyed :). I only tell the truth as I see it! I did think of you as I snapped the picture of the robin this morning and thought.. please let this turn out so I can post it and show Sarah LOL.
lol, why does he call them that?? They're so sweet looking.. The angle of his head is like he's trying to figure out why would think ill of him, lol.. Great capture!
Sarah, Wonderful capture! You really have it all in this photo, composition, color, clarity... dang... starting to sound like a diamond :) Your photos really are inspiring and your bird photos especially help to promote this genre of photography!
I love the picture too! The focus and setting. It shows him off nicely. I love the curious tilt of his head. :)
@rachdbo Hahaa! I know! It's an emotional day on 365! Thank you, for the inspiration and the kind words :)
@buggus Hahaa, he says it's because their heads look like poo and also they are all loud and travel in bunches and rude to each other, haha!!
@tom_loos Tom, you flatter me!! Thank you so much, that makes me really happy and proud to hear, thank you, thank you!!!
