PHOTO THREAD.

[Waiting on him]

Near Hermann, MO:

Looks more like a rendered drawing than a photo.

Lorena turns two tomorrow. Sesame street theme. She loves it. Didn't do too bad on them I think.

Elmo is very cool. My kids each had a favorite character on Sesame Street. My oldest once told Mrs. Y that we reminded him of Ernie and Bert. (Guess which one I was)

Another stunner. Puts me off sharing mine.

Don't stop sharing. I have a selfish motive here. I learn something from almost every image I see. You refine your work by sharing it. Trust me, no one sees the imperfections in your work more acutely than you do. Every image I post has at least one flaw that I wish I had avoided.

To get good at photography, make images that please you. And be relentlessly critical about how well you please yourself.

And I have a confession. I took that shot. But Mrs. Y had run out of battery in her camera, visualized the image she wanted, and told me in detail how she wanted me to take it. I was merely following directions.

Lorena's favorite is Cookie Monster. But I couldn't find a cookie monster pan.

Ernie?

I gather that's a European robin. The one we have in North America looks a little like it,but isn't closely related.

Ernie?

Yep.

Yes is was an English robin. Very popular on Christmas cards.

Sometimes known as a robin redbreast.

This is an English Robin...small and chubby.
They are brave and cheeky. They'd even sit on my dads spade as he dug the garden...waiting for him to turn up a worm. Very very friendly, love 'em.

Since coming to Canada 44 years ago ...I can only remember them via photo's.

Yes, the ones over here seem to be bigger...

Yes, the ones over here seem to be bigger...

The one here is more the size of an English Thrush...which are lovely birds too..yet without the lovely red breast.

...as in the tongue twister: Four filthy thrushes thrusting through the thicket...

The North American Robin is also a variety of thrush, but quite a bit larger, and apparently more timorous than the English version.

Forty thousand feathers on a thrushes throat . . .
