Thanks, Kenn, for the beautiful photos and also for confirming my ID of the yellow-rumped warbler that I saw recently. Your work inspires me also.

Roses -First time posting with new photo software

mandolls, Sunrise Sunset does have some scent, and My Girl has a little. However when they are in full bloom like now the scent is very noticeable. What I have found is that most roses that are bred for hardiness seldom have much scent. I have been very pleased with the Easy Elegance roses that I grow. For me scent is secondary to hardiness. GGG, they hold up quite well. We do get a lot of heat and humidity in late June and July and they keep on blooming. now they don't look quite so nice as we got 1.98 inches of rain within 1-2 hours this morning. It got extremely dark and poured and poured... Hard on the bushes when they are so loaded with blooms. mantis_oh, I emailed that picture to my sister and she told me I "boobooed" as my red shirt did not go with the pink roses! We have had that pump somewhere in the garden for the past 10 years. It was a nice dark burgundy color, but has faded and desperately needs repainting! Kathy, I hesitated to post that picture as I don't usually put myself "out there", but when I have posted these roses in the past it was mentioned that it would be nice to have something for comparison (to determine the true size of the bushes.) No, not too many holes in these, but there are paint spatters/wipes as these are also some of my painting clothes! roselee, thank you. I have many more roses in the yard, but didn't want to overdo the picture posting. Also still getting used to the new software and it is taking me a little bit to get the hang of resizing. Somewhat different than the old program. schoolhouse, yes there have been some drive bys the past few days. Slow down, stop, go, stop, etc. Kind of fun to watch. DH noticed 2 yesterday. Kay, I was actually only watering last night, so stayed fairly clean, if a little wet. Usually much grubbier! One pair of painting/gardening jeans are so full of holes and paint that it is hard to tell they are blue jeans! Thanks again everyone! It is fun to share with other gardeners. None of my friends are really into flower gardening. Most think it is way to much work! Will post more pictures after I have time to get a better handle on resizing.

Oh how lovely. I have seen them in our yard, but so far they have not used our box. Of course this is the year I have lots of meal worms (I raised them all winter in the basement) and you watch, our boxes will be filled with the lovely blue tree swallows. Do you think I can teach the meal worms to fly?? Thanks again for you lovely camera work. Connie

Lovely pics, Kenn, your closeups are so clear and detailed!

What other birding sites do you frequent? I like the Cornell site and sometimes visit the Mass Audubon.

Nice photos, makes me miss my bluebirds terribly! Carolina wrens are so cute. We don't get them here so I'll just have to enjoy yours.

Yes....I recognize some of those pics from POTN and DPReview, so they have been seen elsewhere :-)

As always, your photos are outstanding. Your backyard habitat must be extensive and well-planned to attract such a wide variety of birds. How large is your 'backyard'?

Wow! Looks like you have the birds almost perching on the camera lens now!

Ha!... glaswegian - When I posted this set here, none of these photos were available on any sites other than our smugmug galleries. But since then, 2 of them were included in posts on DPReview and POTN. I generally try not to cross-post our photos, but t's nice to know that some of you are seeing our birds on some of the other sites too. We do love to share them online. :)

Bob - Our yard is a small typical suburban subdivision plot, (about 1/3rd acre). But we provide fresh water and a variety of favored foods daily to accommodate all our birds, and enjoy both watching and photographing them thruout the year. I should note that while our own property is small, our birds recognize our fences only as places to perch, and consider the whole of our community as their habitat.

Hey Rachel... nice to hear from you! We have added a new camera to our arsenal now, a Canon SX30, which is providing us with nice sharp shots and even longer reach than ever before. 840mm lets us capture even closer portraits of our birds, and we are very pleased to see their details so close up.

Thanks again to all who commented,

Kenn
