30th March 2005, off to roost

I nipped down the road again, and back, today,
collected Tamsin and brought her home.
Here is grandma watching the birds.
I wonder why they all flap around like this in the evening...

Konica-Minolta DiMAGE Z3

I thought it was bees !
But with such huge bees, I would not have dared to stay here.

it's the only way to get the best perch... the one near the mini-bar with the sea view! ;)

Probably because they're stupid! :) But hey, they do lend themself to a great background.

Ca me rappelle les nuages de sauterelles au maroc, l'été dernier
Belle technique sur le contre-jour

So many birds, either winging home or eating the insects that come out in late afternoon. Very nice portrait of grandma.

That's a really good image.
Looks fantastic with the birds circling around.
Great one.
David Clunas30-Mar-2005 21:53
The image works because it has captured a 'true' emotion, like it.
