Birdfeeder!

Hello everyone!

I am in a rather good mood right now! Good music, and looking at birds. I love birds. Anyways, we recently bought a new birdfeeder, and the birds completely ignored it for 3 days, then came in flocks! However, they didn't make it easy to get pictures of them.

Everytime I saw them, I grabbed my camera and went outside. Apparently even from the deck, quite a distance away, it was enough to scare them, so they all flew away. I went back inside, they came back. So I went out again, and they flew away. It was quite a problem. Then I had a stroke of genius. I set up my monstrous tripod on the deck, aimed my camera and told it to take a picture every 10 seconds. It did so, and I went inside. It then proceeded to take 300 pictures, many of them including birds.

I have now sorted through them, and found these 3 that I'd like to show off!

These are two birds sharing food. I found it especially amusing, because in the next shot (which if you remember, is 10 seconds later), those same two birds are puffed up and trying to stare each other down. :)


These were some of the coolest shots I had. Birds in flight. Unfortunately the birds wings move too fast to get a still image but it looks neat none the less.


Sometimes the bird feeder had quite a few birds on it at once (plus a few spectators in the tree). Here is a shot with quite a crowd.


Anyways, thats it for today! More later in the summer of this bird feeder I hope.

More Pictures!

Hello everyone, two weeks is long enough, so I have even more pictures, again from the zoo. The weather is warming up though, eventually I'll gather to motivation to go outside. Anyways, first my boring life update. It was really foggy this morning, and I love fog so that was good. I also have a good book and little homework. :) Anyone interested in reading a probably boring book, pick up Genesis in Space and Time by Francis Schaeffer. Or don't, it really doesn't matter. Anyways, here are pictures!

Does this really require a comment? It is an adorable monkey eating a carrot. And this guy didn't make it easy to get a portrait either. It was either hiding in a dark corner or moving too fast to get a shot at.

This is a caribou. The kind you hear about the Inuit hunting, I had never actually seen one until I went to the zoo.

Sorry about the sidewaysness of this picture. It is a male snowy owl and I think it looks absolutely amazing. The lighting isn't lovely either, but I had to work with what I had.

This is a spoonbilled something or other. I really liked it. And it stood on a log about 5 feet away and posed for us for like ten minutes, so I took very many shots of it.

Well, I hope you all liked the pictures,

God Bless,

I POST AT LAST!

Hey there everyone! I know, I know it has been more than a month. I'm sorry, but I have a series of pictures for you, the I will post over the next few weeks. (It's still cold, so I have to keep my picture supply lasting a long time).

I went to the Calgary Zoo recently, and took many great pictures, so I will post them. No fewer then 5 will be put online today! So without further ado, enjoy!

This is a golden eagle. I took a picture of it through the bars. It was kind of the consolation prize after the bald eagle evaded any good pictures, but it is beautiful none the less.

This is a gorilla with a scar of some form on it's chest. It took around 6 tries to get a steady shot of this guy.

These two owls were an interesting find. While looking at some curled up furry things, my friend heard chirping, we then looked up to see 4 yellow eyes staring down at us. These were also not seperated from us by any bars, so I decided not to use my flash for fear of scaring them.

This is a lion, but I'm betting you all know that already. I quite liked the looks of it, so I took a picture.


This is an elephant trunk, I couldn't get any good full-elephant shots because the bars were in my way, so I settled on an extreme close up.

There you go, I hope you have enjoyed this post! Just a few interesting notes, during my day at the zoo, I took 377 pictures, and since my photos tell me the exact moment they were taken, I did some math and found out that means I took 1.3 pictures every minute. I also took my 4000th picture while at the zoo.

Have a nice day everyone!

God Bless,
Keilan
