Good morning!
55F this fine morning with cloudless sky sunshine. Heading up to 75F today, and into another 90F heat wave come the weekend.
The wife will be home all day, so I suppose today's goings-on will have something to do with her. Just hoping it's not going to be another bird-bath.
Thanks for all the likes and comments on my past posts.
I'm going to post another couple of hummingbird photos, with a little explanation.
I take the photos from quite far away, because this bird is very shy. Then, I'll make enlargements on the computer.
In the birds case, the enlargements are quite extreme. Hence, the fuzzy look, because my camera shake is enhanced as well.
Here are photos of the actual compared to the enlargement:
I'm working on trying to get better photos. In fact, I bought a new camera with greater telephoto capability, just so I could take better photos of wildlife and trains. It's a FujiFilm S-4800 that has 30x telephoto capability.
Tomorrow, the dog and I will be heading to the CN staging area to give the new camera a test run. We'll see what kind of photos I can acquire.
Hopefully, a train will cross that Athabasca bridge.
SteveJ - Thanks for the heads-up on the plumbers putty. I have a small jar of that stuff doing nothing right now. May as well use it.
Well, I have to walk the dog. Only had her for a few weeks, and she can already tell what time it is.
Have a good one!
Oop's! Here's the rail photo, just so I don't get kicked out for not showing rail photos:
