Well, this wee guy nearly didn't make it to screen stardom. I went out with the camera yesterday for a couple of hours and came back with about 80 shots of flowers and birds. Uploaded them to the computer and started editing. I-Photos froze on me and I had to reboot - when I got back in to i-photos, there was only a little grey box where my photos had been, saying 'no photos'! Also, because it was only neighbourhood photos, I had deleted them from the memory card immediately after uploading. A wasted few hours, ... very annoying! However, I then thought to check my phone to see if any of them had appeared on my photo stream. Imagine my delight to see them, one by one, appearing on my phone. They were obviously out there in cyber space. So, I recuperated the JPG versions from my iphone. Not the best quality, but better than nothing. We all know what the moral of that story is! So, here, courtesy of my iphone is an american robin - the first I've been able to capture.
I do hope your iPhoto has straightened itself out and returned your photos to you. How awful, the words 'no photos'. I like the composition of this pic with the bit of green in the front and the sun-dabbled background gray. Really makes that red breast stand out so nicely. It's good to see the Robins back again, isn't it. Even here in the midwest where there's 3" of snow in the forecast for Monday, the robins are hopping about, looking for the elusive worm. (Good luck with that, guys.)
Thanks so much for once again stopping by another of my macro pics. Your fav is much appreciated.
@lyndemc Iphoto is working just fine, BUT the missing photos never turned up there. I was just glad to have the JPG versions to upload from my iphone! @lucypics Thanks Lucy. They're very different from their British cousins, aren't they? @juliedduncan@ziggy77@killeen Thanks guys.
Wonderful robin capture Issi. The American robin is really a kind of thrush, and I've read that the early settlers called these birds robins because the red breast reminded them of the European robins back home. They are both beautiful birds but quite different from each other!
That must have been a scary experience - "no pictures" - guess that's like the blue screen on the computer when it's crashed - so glad you were able to recapture your shots. Yes, these robins are quite different from their English cousins (I never knew that before 365!) Love how straight and tall they stand.
