Up close and personal....


Not much today......I just like looking really close at the feathers and their patterns and the eyes and beaks.

Look at that Woodpecker's tongue! I'd say you did up close and personal.

Fab shot Mary! That Wren is of course my favourite. What a portrait!

Mary said...

Leedra: Probably ready to "stick out his tougue" at me for taking his photo :-)

Aluajala: That one is a Titmouse. I think the different types of feathers on each one is interesting. My favorite is the Robin.

Jenny Wren: Of course you like the Wren best!

Mary, I love the close-ups--especially of the Red-bellied. AND--the feathers and tail of the next to the last picture are fabulous!!!! Thanks for the close-ups.
