Don’t hold Your Breaths: Bird of the Week

Well, thanks to Lisa’s post I now have another photo challenge on my list one that will be very easy for me and is close to my heart. Bung up a bird photo, link to IJ’s site and there you go.

First off I was being spied on as I was spying on an eastern Spinebill in a Firesticks Grevillea.

From Don’t Hold Your Breath
“There aren’t many places on WordPress where bird watchers can share posts. If you post any photos of birds this week (starting today and up to next Monday), it would be great if you could leave a link in the comments, or a pingback, for others to follow. There is no compulsion to post a recent photo, but it would help others to know when and where you saw the bird. You might consider using the tag “Bird of the Week” in case people search for old posts using it.“

Dan’s Thursday Doors

I have finished going through my travel folders and these are the final ones I found from Spain. Some of these are quite wonderful.

Another grand surround in Madrid. The door studs seem to be increasing

A relative new door in Granada. I love the colour and the metal grill above the door

Onto Barcelona with a doorway and door that has it all

Lastly just the most fabulous door and entrance. I really feel dwarfed by the size

Only a few more European doors to come

Ragtag Daily Prompt Wednesday: Unpredictable

I often am asked about taking photos of birds in particular and how do get such good, they say, photos. It is all about patience and being at the right place at the right time. Nature photography is unpredictable. You can will your subject to just do what you would like. Even something as simple as turn around but…….
