I loved your pictures and commentaries! On Sunday, you simply spend your time in God’s cathedral instead of at the local church. Wait a minute…how much more ‘local’ can it get when you’re among plants, trees, birds, and the like?
Beautiful and spirit-lifting!!

Lovely piece. I too find peace and joy in a garden.

Sometimes I wonder how non-gardeners stay sane.

I also haven't had success with bird photos and your advice is helpful.

Very nice article - - yes, I believe anything that brings you peace and happiness is, in fact, a form of meditation - - I'm glad that gardening brings you such beauty*

Blessings.

Sincerely,

Milty, thanks for the stumble. Pam, the bird shots are done with a telephoto lense adjustment. I locate the bird, and zoom in on it. Then, I edit the picture in Paint, trimming away the extra stuff. The cardinal wouldn’t let me get his pic, tho. He would fly the second I pointed in his direction. The robins were the easiest.

I love to garden. I love to be outside in the dirt. How did you get the great photos of the birds. We had two hawks on the clothesline post on Sat and all our shots turned our terrible. Great article.
