Yep, that's quite a bit more. We still have a week and a half for that "out like a lamb" part to come true.

I don’t think I could wait that long for spring.

I caught this little guy getting a cool drink. I have no idea what kind of bird it is. Feel free to educate.

Dang girl..I sat here for 20 minutes and couldn't recall the name,2016 & 17 I saw many families raised down the meadows mowing.




This is the "broken wing" she distracts with to lure predators away from her nest..




Within hours of hatch they are up and running..

Lol! All I did was search what you told me to. I know what they sound like and I know what they look like flying, but I never saw a close up of one. Yeah I like the B700!

I (we) have been faked out by the injured wing trick! Neat way they have of protecting the eggs. We've also been dive bombed when we accidentally got too close. Never seen the babies. They're cute.

AW! Cute.

So, do you use a tripod? Or is your hand that steady?
I'm thinking of setting up the tripod in the basement at the door. I'm not sure of the range I'll get. But my hand is not steady. I took a plethora of shots yesterday. All but one came out blurry.

Never used one,I have 3 for my Canon AE1 and that sets in the closet. Go to page 167 in your manual and set VR mode to active,that should take care of camera shake. The more you use it the more you will like it.

What program do you upload your pics to?

What program do you upload your pics to?

I’m still struggling with that. The program in the book won’t download on the used laptop. I did get gimp2 on the laptop but I’m not very good with that program. I was able to get SnapBridge on my phone. That’s the easiest way to post at the moment, but there’s not much editing. If I want to edit I email it to myself and then download it to my kindle and use the photo editor app.

I had Windows Photo Gallery until my pc kept crashing on me,I had windows 7 reloaded now it's no longer available. Now I have inPixio Photo Clip 8 Pro,and yes those programs can be a bit . Practice makes perfect though.

GOD Bless
