Your bird pictures are amazing, such great shots. As you say it is great to be able to take loads of photos and then edit them and discard and so on afterwards, sooooooooo much better than taking a roll of film, waiting a week to get them back - after you paid a small ransom of course! - and then only getting a couple of good ones. You know the rest re the other things! xxAmy at love made my homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17111180584250029433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4062746784364845999.post-68188201395788389572014-05-22T11:13:00.439-04:002014-05-22T11:13:00.439-04:00Lovely photos Wendy, I enjoy seeing the difference...Lovely photos Wendy, I enjoy seeing the difference between garden birds from where you live & where I live.

My mom lives in a retirement apartment, and it is a seven and a half hour drive away, and more like nine hours if it's winter and the roads are bad. I love my mom, but absolutely dread going, mostly due to the drive. By the time I get back home I am totally exhausted, and it takes me a couple of days to recover. I don't dare blog about it because once in awhile, when my mom remembers how to work her iPad, she read my blog. Unlike your dad, she is still very mobile. But my brother and my big worry right now is her driving. Something must be done. Sigh...<br /><br />I love your warbler pictures! I can't believe how many kinds you had in your yard. What a treat!kristieinbchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08620113214111945592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4062746784364845999.post-7010737373006828622014-05-22T09:40:31.168-04:002014-05-22T09:40:31.168-04:00It is amazing how restorative the garden can be.

I don't think I have ever seen a warbler of any kind in my garden.<br />I am going home in a few weeks to check on my parents. I am excited and worried at the same time. It is time for my parents to be out of their house (Mom is 90 this year), but I can already here her response when I bring up the subject of a move. "Don't push me.", she'll say. Mom wants to move in her own good time. Unfortunately there is no time table for "her own good time." It's hard to watch your parents enter that final stage of life isn't it?

It sounds like you're making the best of things with your father. It can't be easy for you. But I know he feels your love and appreciates what you do for him. I feel the same way about driving lately, I just can't wait to be off the roads. I used to love driving but as I get older, I'm just scared and annoyed every day. :)Jennifer Hayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685253944514672324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4062746784364845999.post-88954439689804171022014-05-21T23:12:36.846-04:002014-05-21T23:12:36.846-04:00Wonderful clipping of beautiful birds!Wonderful clipping of beautiful birds!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4062746784364845999.post-19231746646825456152014-05-21T23:06:05.037-04:002014-05-21T23:06:05.037-04:00What an amazing set of photos you have taken - tha...What an amazing set of photos you have taken - that is some epic bird watching in your backyard. It was totally worth going through 200 photos just to get those amazing shots. I am not sure I have seen warblers here, just lots of robins, blue jays, and chickadees and the now elusive hummingbird. The blackburnian warbler is quite the looker. I'd flip out if he landed in my yard.Stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14294624848003071390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4062746784364845999.post-45209188220868908332014-05-21T22:54:59.615-04:002014-05-21T22:54:59.615-04:00My goodness!
