Watch the Birdie

Thanks again for your comments and FAV's always appreciated.

After yesterdays rain we had a night of horrendous storms and heavy rain. This morning is just as bad, strong winds powerful enough to shut down bridges and keep many at home.

So what to do with my photography for the days 365 offering. Well this is the set up for viewing my bird feeder. Just sat on the settee with the camera sat on the coffee table and then looking through the glass porch door and also through the porch window.

As you can see by the camera screen, I can zoom in quite well. If you remember those days of portraits when the camera man held up a flash of powder, then shouted out the words, "Watch the Birdie", well that's just what I'm doing without venturing outside in the cold winds.

Photograph taken with my iPad, I even had to television on. Best viewed with the dark background.

That's creative thinking!

Very clever idea! Aside from the benefit of keeping you warm, you may get some great bird shots since they won't even know you're watching them :) I'm looking forward to seeing the results.
