Self Portrait of Birds and....
With a cheap, used Sony Cibershot camera, home brew, hooked up on a motion control board, all put inside a pelican case, watertight, you can let them out for day's and see what you caught....it's fun!

Comments (70)crl, i see a lot of questions here where people question their sense of style or their taste or ability to see color, etc... or seek affirmation on their choices made... even questions about how high to hang a piece of artwork make sense to me if you don't have an eye for things like that and don't want to create more work for yourself of repairing holes... but, that's different to me than questioning whether a family picture should be placed on the mantel... i am sure some people do need to discuss things more than i do even tho i am a 'hem and hawer' myself about certain things and have some serious cognitive dissonance sometimes, but i know i would never get anything done if i needed to talk everything over... there's nothing wrong with being a 'rule follower' tho, if he/she is!...See MoreRelatively large portrait of a stranger- too weird? or fun?
Comments (112)I do like it lower for two reasons.. a) I imagine I mostly look at it while I sit (which might or might not be true) b) I personally like when the upper.. lines of things are of different heights..it's my own, sometimes weird thing, my DH is totally different in that regard for example. I like when, say, the painting is not same height with hutch and the window, But as I myself have some art that's deliberately hung too low or too high, because only I know how I see it better(and I think I should see it better, because I'm the one who's 24/7 in the house, after all)-I understand it must be about your inner balance with the painting, as much as it must be about its place within the room. She's gorgeous in any case, and congratulations! (and no, she's not a great example of socialist realism)))...See MoreKonrad___far_north

Magpies are a bit of a nuisance....just like crows, they're in the
constant watch for easy picking of fledgelings at this time of year.
Dax, no fir, I have some pine, most in the pictures are green and blue Colorado spruce, some white spruce,..yes, Tamarack and birch, I also grow little leaf Linden, mountain Ash, choke cherries, burr Oak, tons of apple trees, all from seeds, and some more.
Here is one of my pride & joy of a seedling ornamental crab apple.

The Sapsucker got accustomed to the sweet treat now!
Hope this helps filling he's belly and be easy on making holes into my trees!
..The female here is not seen anymore, looks like she is busy
with her nest.
..Male still comes every day.
Let me know if loading up seems a problem for you...then I should stop this thread.

>>Did you catch a surprise human in the last one?No, that's me, ..it was a one's in a lifetime experience!
I was in the orchard when out of nowhere this moose was standing about 8 feet away, then we looked at each other, me then moving backward from this only tree I left unpicked for wildlife and getting my little pocket camera. This young moose stayed about 10min. munching on apples from the tree and ground.Some pictures from my side of view.
You can see the trailcamera under the neck.

11 years ago>>Is the building in the second picture an indication of how much snow you get?Sorry, didn't know at first what you meant, Bob, ...that is a little tree house on a steel fuel stand, I use it to put hive boxes up to catch swarms,..bees like to go high when searching for a new home.
Found this one,...thought it was cute.

It also makes me happy when you like it and also enjoy nature.I wasn't going to put a camera up this year with the orchard trees mostly resting, some had a little apples,..well then I figured it would be still nice to see what's going through this year.
One moose was there for about a week, one only whitetail deer mom with two offspring are pretty much there every night,..that's fine with me because last year there was way too many and lots of branches got ripped down, ..eventually they recover.This is a first for me,..nursing mom.

Yes, winter I also love, especially here in Alberta where lots of sunshine is not lacking.I live in town on a hill but have about 6 acres hobby farm 12 min. drive, this would be around 45min. from Edmonton, my workplace.
To give you a prospective, the other day picking some pears up on the ladder.

Lorna..think this is all I can handle.
Yes...thread is getting too long, most I have put in what I wanted and don't want to start a new one because it would be mostly repeats...will only add one here and there.
