My garden is still sleeping.
Crocosmia this is what we have to look forward to later in the summer. |
The sky was blue and the sun was shining
there right near to my house was this holly tree, still with plenty of berries.
These have usually all gone by now.
Though we always make sure our bird feeders are kept full.

A few weeks ago I mentioned I was going to join a photography blog.
Well after reading what my first task was to be I realised it was not for me.
So Mr France has been giving me a few tips,
and I took these photos of the birds with his camera ,
I've been using some different menus
and I know I have a lot to learn
but I feel I have improved.
What do you think ?

I'm not able to do anything strenuous in the garden at the moment,
so as the sun was shining I sat in our sheltered spot
& Mr France brought me coffee.
We sat at our little round café table
and watched the birds flying from feeder to feeder.
It won't be long before we hear them singing
and see them starting to build their nests.
and see what nature brings where ever you are.
à bientôt

Good Morning Barbara, You are absolutely right, we don't take enough time to see what is in front of us. I look out of the window, and see more grey clouds, but I think I should focus on the beauty around me..... no I just keep seeing grey skies! I'm only joking.
ReplyDeleteThe photographs of the birds are lovely, as you managed to get such beautiful close ups..... your husband is teaching you well.
Best Wishes
Daphne

Oh Barbara, this post was very close to my heart today, as I love nature so much. I feel a peace there like no other place. Bird watching is one of my favorite things to do, and your bird pictures are wonderful. I loved the one upside down. Every time you call your husband Mr. France I smile, as it sweet to hear.
ReplyDeleteKeep taking your pictures of nature, my friend. They make my heart sing.
Love,
