LAST ROSE - CHICKADEE - THE BEFORE PHOTOS
Posted by Anne (White Rock, Canada) on 14 December 2007 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.
The top photo was the Last Rose of the Summer in my garden - bloomed beginning of October!
The underneath photo is not mine - but I "borrowed" the chickadee to paste onto my Rose yesterday.
We do have chickadees like this all the year round - but they seldom stay in one place more than a second or two - only sitting like this in tree branches or the large shrubs like the overgrown rhododendron at the side of my patio where they feel safe. They often fly onto the roses for a second or two - but I cannot photograph them from my patio window because they are usually backlit by the time they make an appearance. Also they are gone as soon as they sense me move. I will try to get my own photos of them when the weather improves (pouring down in buckets the last few days and snow before that). I will have to wait out on the lawn so that I can zoom in on them with decent lighting. Thanks for enjoying my great and wonderful capture yesterday! LOL :-D Go back and compare the processed Rose/Bird yesterday!
Well! I am back and missed being away so long due to ill health. It was a bit of a struggle to find energy to stay on my computer and post. My daughter Lesley and her husband Robin, gave me this wonderful gift of a cruise to Alaska and Lesley and I had a whale of a time! I could just live on that ship - absolutely wanted for nothing! Hope to hear from you all! Don't know how much I can get around posting comments - so will probably have to keep them brief - but will try to get around as much as I can! Thanks to all my friends for their good wishes!
Please go ahead and give me constructive criticism where needed! I am a bit out of practice at both taking and editing decent photographs - so help me if you can!
