p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Plant and They will Come - Mixed Bunch - Added Shots


Here is a mixed bag of shots taken either in the garden or something flying over the garden.

I added a lensbaby to my set of lens a few weeks ago in an attempt to try something new and add a challenge. I tend to get bored easily If you see a shot with strange EXIF , it is with the lens baby as it is fully manual and the camera does not capture the aperture .

Let me add that I am so grateful for the bees, bugs, birds, and butterflies they provide such joy.

Your nits, crits, and comments are always welcomed and keep me learning .

Thank you for looking and I hope you enjoy my view of my world.

Birdie



A garden is a delight to the eye and a solace for the soul.

4. Then we have the hummers enjoying the flowers

A garden always gives back more than it receives.

Hi Birdie...

Beautiful photographs of your garden and its critters. I'm sure it's theraputic and a wonderful respite from anxious times.

Thanks
Tom

Great variety and creativity Birdie

#4 I like the simplicity and open comp though a bit up from the bottom is worth a look at
#11 never saw one look down, that is pretty darn sweet!
#12 the softness and pastel keep it simple, great choice on how to present it, allows the business to be much more simple, great result
#13 delightful

Best to you
Karl

Birdie, all your pics are excellent, as usual. 4 and 13 stand out for me because I appreciate that this is not SOP for hummers or dragons.

Great comps on all the flower shots Birdie. The hummers are all nice and sharp, and the bugzz are all well done too ~ Ron

Such a beautiful variety of your lovely garden Birdie
I love taking a stroll through your garden!🌺

Loved seeing the hummer on the long Mexican flower stem, the bee with the gorgeous red flower (what's that flowers name) and the dragonfly sitting on such gorgeous pinkness

Wonderful and have a nice day!

I'm a fan of the soft look and I'm a flower lover. 1 & 3 are my faves with the hummers coming in close. Thank you so much for sharing.

A beautiful set of images Birdie! I can almost smell the flowers and hear the buzzing of the hummingbird wings. Nicely seen and presented.
