Sunday Stills: Go High, Go Low



I can not believe I have not really posted since last Sunday. I've been a little busy this week, no time to play with the camera. By the way, I think I forgot to mention that I totally stole that button from Linda. Excellent job Linda :)

So this week the assignment was to go high or go low. Since I didn't have a chance to play around this week I went through the archives. I found these pictures of Mr. P. The birds have this little aviary they play in and he was on a branch above me. I was trying to get a picture of him for some reason and he just kept looking at me trying to figure out what I was doing.

When he got bored he moved to a higher branch to take a nap and I was lucky enough to check him mid shake. He ruffles his feathers and shakes, kind of like a dog, as he settles in for a little snooze.

Well, that's all I got this week. Hopefully next week I'll have a chance to actually take new pictures. Now I'm off to see who else joined in the frivolity over at Sunday Stills.

Brave you, for aiming your lens up towards the low end of the bird :)

Kelly said...

Ha! It looks like he's giving you "the eye" in the first feather...maybe you really did "ruffle his feathers" :)
