As you can see from the following pictures, I have discovered the secret to good photography. You will have to read below to find out how I accomplished this.
The secret to good photography is to get someone else to do it. These are courtesy of Elen Wood. Thank you Elen!
There are all these new birds here – I counted over six pink-and-grey galahs yesterday, a multitude of blue wrens, some wild ducks, and more crows and magpies (which I took for granted before) than I have ever seen before. It’s becoming a wonderland of domesticated and wild birds living in relative harmony, and even our three dogs are okay with things. Now that is a small miracle!
The title of this post is not me trying to be profound; it’s me unable to find my camera – arghh………….
I wish I could say I took this photo but, no, instead I took it from a free photo-image site on the internet. The blue wrens around here don’t stay still enough!
They are everywhere at the moment – many, many more than we’ve ever seen before, due to the presence (I assume) of our other birds, and an abundance of bird seed sprinklings here and there around the house block.
Like many other bird breeds, blue wren males are much more beautiful (human pov) than their female counterparts who, despite blue streaks, are mostly grey in colour.
Husband has always loved the blue wrens and today, when I brought him home for the afternoon, he noticed how many were here and turned to me and said, his joy skewed, “This is MY farm.”
I know that and, since taking Husband back to his too-narrow bed, the nurses, and a lukewarm meal, I haven’t seen a single blue wren.
I will recharge my camera and try again tomorrow.
