I like these pictures. Young starlings learning about baths and drinking water. They come here and gets used to meeting distant cousins and foreigners and some this like better than others. They are, like young people, indifferent to differences, tolerant of others and on the lookout for a wandering honeybee stopping to sip some water from the edge—that is like finding the nut in an Almond Joy candy bar.
There is photography and there is taking pictures with a camera. I think we tend to forget what the camera is for and just point and shoot—some of our modern cameras are even called
Point and Shoot cameras. The camera is a tool to be used to freeze an instant of our history. What Junior looked like a second ago or what the fledgling starlings looked like back in 2008 when I snapped this picture.
That first shot is a gem! Great light.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Linda. I shot it thru my office window and that is thermal pane glass.
DeleteWhat little beauties. These birds are VERY smart.
ReplyDeleteI especially like this:
ReplyDelete" The camera is a tool to be used to freeze an instant of our history."
I will remember that when I'm taking my photos.
I like the last photo, especially, with the drop of water on the beaks of the birds.
