You Capture - Fun

Beth's You Capture subject this week is Fun. At first I pondered when I could get together with some of my grandchildren to take Fun pictures but since a relaxing visit wasn't on the horizon, I thought about what I do on a day-to-day basis that's fun.

One things that's always Fun is feeding our koi. Unfortunately it's a little early in the season to get great shots so these will just give an idea of how fun it is.

Right now, though, my go-to fun activity is photographing the birds in our backyard. I try to capture them in flight or in quirky poses or just going about their day-to-day businesses.

Or sometimes in a series. Starting here, the guys at the lunch counter must surely feel like somebody's watching them.

Soon he joins in - unobstrusively.

Then he takes over.

For see more Fun shots, go to Beth's I Should Be Folding Laundry. Or join in, what could be more Fun?

  3. I think my favorite is the bluebird taking a bath. Such a great shot! I've just started taking some picture of our back yard friends...next on my library list is a book about regional birds so I know what I'm taking pictures of. Thanks for sharing!

  12. Great shots! Love the koi -- they're really beautiful. And so many different birds! I'm pretty sure we don't have that sort of variety around here at this time of the year!
