p.1 #1Some backyard variety
I was totally out of commission last week with some sort of virus -- spent the biggest part of my week in bed sleeping (I'm flirting with becoming a Nyquil addict). Anyway, I haven't gotten out recently, but yesterday morning I braved the wilds of my backyard to shoot some birds and the requisite 'Tree Rat'.

Nice images. It is good to be able to create nice images without having to leave home.

Thank you, Douglas.
Sadly, the options in the backyard here are pretty limited. Perhaps it's this blasted drought we're in right now, but there's just not the normal variety of birds at the feeder as usual recently.

Real nice set Greg. 6 is super yet there all good. Continue to feel better. Nyquil gives me a hangover so I stopped taking it long ago.

Thanks Morris!
Nyquil gives me a hangover too, but it sure seems to help me sleep like a rock when I'm sick. The difficult thing is that I haven't been hit with anything like this in about 5 years. I'm 79 now and it's a slow climb out of this nonsense.

Thanks Douglas. They are to fast, I wish I had bumped my shutter speed up to 1/4000 Sec for better sharpness.
