Hanging On

Portsmouth, NH view map

This kind of reminds me of kids, hanging on.

Though ours aren't old enough to let go yet. . .

I went back to the Urban Forestry Center again today. I actually googled Blue Jays (not the baseball team) and learned that they gestation period is about 17 days. It was about 2 weeks ago that I took the photo of the eggs, so I figured it was worth a try. The eggs are still there, mom jay is still hovering over them. Perhaps this weekend, though it will be raining all weekend.

I like the area because there are a lot of things to photograph and few people (so far).

This shot was actually in front of the tree with the nest. Someone was walking by while I was taking a second peek (from a distance) of the nest. I didn't want to draw attention to it so I bent over and started shooting the weeds. I'm glad I did, it worked!

Here are a couple that didn't make today's PaD:




Canon EOS 40D ,Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro
1/160s f/9.0 at 100.0mm iso200 full exif

Nice catch of the sense of light.
