Eye Contact

I had a wonderful first day of the year. I spent the day at my Mom's house. She cooked a wonderful homemade meal for me. It was delicious!

It's always fun to take pics at her house. My stepdad has lots of bird feeders. This little Tufted Titmouse had a sunflower seed in his mouth. I don't think he liked that I was looking at him. :0)

I hope everyone has had a wonderful first day of 2012!! Thank you for your kind comments on my last pic for year one!!! I'm really looking forward to 2012! :0)

Gorgeous shot! I am glad you pointed out the sunflower seed, as I may have missed it! I am glad you had a great start to the new year!

[Kathryn Marshall]

[Tania L]

A lovely picture, nice and sharp too!

[karenann]

What a great catch, Carolyn . . maybe he thought that you'd take the seed away from him. He's an alert little Tufted Titmouse! Wonderful pof and clarity.

[Brandie]

Adorable! Happy New Year! I'm glad to see you are still here!

Very nice opening shot. Kind of weird to look over there and only see one photo isn't it?

[Carolyn White]

@webfoot Thank you! It feels really weird!!! I said that to my husband earlier tonight. I didn't know what to name my album. I looked at yours and one other person's for ideas.

[Lisa]

Beautiful start to your new album/year!

[Brad Johnson]

This bird uses far too much makeup.

Great shot - nice and crisp. I love the seed in its mouth.

[elkehochban]

Awesome shot! I've never seen one of these guys in person, but they look as if their eyes are larger than most other birds. That makes them seem perkier, somehow.

That's wierd I thought I was already following you. I'm not sure what happened there.
