I geuss it really isnt a huge surprise, I see the deer all the time but never expected them to get this close:yes Right after I took a few of these she stuck most of her head in the blind and I rubber her nose. She pulled her head back but did not run off.

The stuff you see at the lower end of the frame is the netting from the blind:clap

Its a good thing the deer came along, the birds did not cooperate at all today. I moved the blind closer for full frame shots and they may need a day or two to get used to it.

Just let me know:p

Day to of the ice around here. We can get out and about now, but everything is kind of in slow motion. We are so bored that we spent 2 hours cleaning the powder room filters(which is a ****ty job but has to be done. Tonight will be spent burning old cardboard and junk that needs to go. Being slow sucks:p

I spent about 20 minutes in my blind this morning, hoping tp catch some Bluejays and Cardinals but them suckers dont like me...lol I did manage a decent shot of a Nuthatch and a Titmouse however.

Well, we raise them to use the land and that which God provides for us. The wife said Ryan was talking to her (Baby) as he ate, and fully explained to her that when she gets bigger she will be in the chili pot:p I geuss its no different then when I was a kid, eating burgers at the picnic table with 30 angus staring at us from the fence.:p

I saw this on a trail last summer and ran back and grabbed my phone from the truck and had to get a few pics.

I will be doing alot of photography this spring and summer and some of it may be closer to you. I dont mind folks tagging along as long as it isnt something I am doing that requires me to be alone (in my sneak boat etc)

When I woke up today, it was cold and sunny, and I had to make a trip to drop off a few quads in another state so I figured I would take a few minutes during my run to try and grab a shot or two.

Ofcourse when I got to where i wanted to be I had some issues:p It was so icy that I almost had to crawl 40 yards on my butt to get close enough to try and shoot this Heron. Then teh sun ducked behind some clouds and thats where it damn well stayed!:grr:

When I got home, it was snowing like crazy so I figured the day was shot. Well the snow passed and the sun jumped out so I ran out to my blind:p The wind kicked up pretty bad and even the birds had to deal with it.

I geuss I was out there for 15 minutes and the sun would duck behind the clouds every 45 seconds or so:ermm:

This Nuthatch gave me quite the upside down show...to bad the light went to hell:grr:

These lil' suckers are hardcore. They take something back into the tree and beat the snot out of it then eat it:p Gives me a headache just thinking about it!

This one is at the top of his swing before he hammers his beak into what ever he has grabbed to eat!

Today..well there are them kind of days:p

I drilled 2 3/4 inch holes in a dead part of the tree and stuffed it full of sunflower seeds, hoping to attract Cardinals and Bluejays and maybe even a few Woodpeckers. I trimmed up some of the limbs that were in my way and figured on heading out after I PC'd a frame.

Well, the cold weather is making me work harder to get what I want (whats new) and I did not get out there until late.

This one almost fell of the limb...the look he has reminds of when someone trips and they try to act like they meant to do it:D

So finally, I get in the blind and the birds come in and they start taking the seeds I had placed in the hole. Welp, my luck strikes and part of that confounded cherry tree is in the way. Chainsaw helped photoshop that out:eek: Now this would be a great shot if that dang vine did not run into his head. This is where the real PS can help.

I have a few more tweaks to make to te limbs and such and hopefully I can get some of the bigger and more colorful birds hitting the feeder!
