Zoey told me to crop the picture...so I did. I hope to take a serious picture that is sharp. I think that this is better...thanks Zoey.
Yesterday, while waiting to go to the party...I sat in the open doorway and waited for a bird to come. I had my camera ready. I was just about to give up...looking through the lens and seeing all the pretty trees and flowers and there it was...an Oriole.We get so many of these but I wanted a big bird picture to put here. This is what I got. I didn't have time to zoom or anything. I think that older people's reflexes aren't so good. I'll just have to enjoy other's pictures and just forget it. Or maybe I will get lucky...sitting by the open door someday and snap a beauty. Anyway...these birds are favorites of ours. They eat us out of jars of jelly. We need to buy the jumbo jars. The little sparrows are fond of jelly too...and they eat when the orioles let them. Now, the oriole has learned to sit on the hummingbird feeder to the left of the bird. It's big enough for them to sit on a perch and just drink to their heart's content. Jelly and juice...is all that sugar good for them? I wonder.Balisha
