The problem with photographing wildlife is that they don't always want to sit still and pose. I was outside last night when I was surprised to see two cedar waxwings land on a tree nearby. Surprised because we rarely see them this time of year - they are usually fall visitors. By the time I ran inside to get the camera they had moved to a ground wire on the roof of the garage. My only photo is of a pair of beautiful birds in a not-so-beautiful setting!

A couple days ago I asked if anyone could help identify this bird I observed near Bondurant. It was driving me crazy so last night I pulled out the Roger Tory Peterson book of western birds for another go. By chance (??) when I set the book down it fell open to the page on Buntings. Eureka! Meet Mrs. Lazuli Bunting. Not to be sexist but I wish I could have also seen her strikingly colorful mate!
I said I would post a photo that better depicts the 3-D nature of my challenge quilt "Seven Billion and Counting". So here it is.
All the wildlife you have around you is stunning.
ReplyDeleteAnd that quilt...incredible.
