..here's look'en at you kid!

Gosh, there were no birds at our feeders this morning. Rain, rain, rain and only Mr TV "eyeing" us as we walked our 2 miles in the drizzling mist. You might have to click on pic to see that stare!

Lynne at Hasty Brook said...: Tina- I LOVE it! I really adore Turkey Vultures and you sure got a perfect photo of this one. Maybe he'll become your walking mascot!; November 15, 2008 at 8:12 AM
Tina said...: Barb, thanks, I've been playing with burst mode on my camera so it was pure luck to capture him at all. lol The rain was more of a misty precip. when I was trying to get pics of him overhead. A lot of focus, for me, in an early morn and I was completely surprised I got this one! We try and walk 3 miles every day if we can!; November 15, 2008 at 9:27 AM
Tina said...: Mary, thank you, fabric always has captured my attention..now I'm learning how to create pictures with it!!

Lynne, that would be cool, to have a vulture follow one around! I probably would have trouble getting photos of other birds tho. tee he; November 15, 2008 at 9:30 AM

Tina said...: Betsy, Send them home right now!!!; November 15, 2008 at 1:28 PM
Eve said...: Whew Tina!!!! Good thing you were still alive or you'd be in trouble!!! Ha Ha!!; November 15, 2008 at 1:55 PM
Craig Glenn said...: Very nice Tina. What kind of camera do you use. I am still looking for one...

Tina said...: lol, yes you are right Eve!!

Craig, My camera is a Nikon D60. I just got it in June and, as you can tell, I have a lot to learn about this particular camera. I am starting to feel more comfortable with choosing some settings, tho, and getting off of that little green square...called auto focus!! There are a lot of great cameras out there, I'm sure you will find the right one for you.; November 15, 2008 at 4:41 PM
