The bluebird (redbird, you say?) eggs are cuuuuuuute.
*sigh* Alas, see below.

The peaches remind me of my own, dearly departed, peach trees, and summertime, and sweetness, and sticky-gooey juiciness.
Mmm. What happened to them?

The flower pictures are pretty too.
Thanks!

The tress are okay, but something about the two-car garages just don't move me. (^_^)
Ja, a lot of people don't like signs of human dwelling mixed in with natural scenery, preferring to see that only in architectural photography. Some folks seem to have something against suburbia, too. :-P

I guess that leaves the sunsets! I'll pick the indigo sky, 2005 one -- not for any particular reason but that the shade calls me to more right now.
Cool, thanks!

That's actually my hometown, Mount Vernon, Ohio, population ~20,000.

you're running a consumer digital camera, I take it?

Wow. This comment kind of reminded me of those bitter old men who sit in the balcony on the Muppet Show.

So noted - thank you.

Cool. What about the last one struck you?

Thanks. I like the peaches, myself, though as megruder said, it needs some post-editing.

There's a better set of peach blossoms later on in my LJ.

i <3 birdies, therefore i love the eggs. are you going to watch them learn to fly? or is that an old photo..?
That photo was from June, 2004. Alas, the eggs never hatched. You weren't yet reading my journal when I reported that they spilled out in a big gust of wind and three of four broke. The fourth was pilfered by a predator. The parent robin never returned. OTOH, there was a nest in my maple (the one with dark red leaves above) that DID hatch three baby birds about two months after I snapped the picture of the robin's nest. I believe they were finches. The mother stayed to nurse the babies, which I watched for a few weeks, and my dad reported seeing them drop out of the nest and fly away. I never ventured close enough to photograph them, but I'm tempted to get out my conventional 35mm film camera for its telephoto attachment so that I can next time. We have lots of rabbits, too. Some time I'll tell you the story of the old grandmother rabbit that lived her whole life in my back yard, starting the year I came to K-State.

some of my fondest memories from pittsburg state are all the bird activity in the Oval, i got to watch so many baby birds. have plenty of pics of the fledgling cardinals learning to fly... (i held one! ee! :D)kawaii!
Very cool.

No problem - thanks for the suggestions.

I see you don't like poewr lines, either. One of my students in 830, Praveen, said he hates them. I'll drive up somewhere I can get away from them, but for now, I just look for an angle where I can cut them out. I might try airbrushing, too. In the two that I put up, I don't think they are too obtrusive, though I know what you mean. I wouldn't submit the one with power lines and the water tower to WebShots or some such compendium.

Thanks. My grandmother worked on a watercolor of them, but she wasn't satisfied with the colors. I've been trying to get her to start again.
