I’m usually a “keep the colour” kind of person where animals and nature is concerned but with that pelican I think I prefer monochrome. The owls are fun and the humming bird is great, so crisp and clear!

The blue of the water distracts from the pelican itself, but I do like it in color too. Glad you like my hummingbird too 😀

Thank you for featuring me … and thank you in advance for Birds! Something for which I actually NEW pictures. Love the hummingbird. I was thinking of putting up a hummingbird feeder, but I think my deck is already overcrowded with bigger birds. I don’t think the tiny ones would come.
How are you doing? I hope you are healing and feeling better.

Love the orange-billed ducks and owl carvings, Cee! No entry for me this week – I rarely capture bird images, so I will enjoy everyone else’s photos. 🙂

Hi Cee, another Friday has arrived. And that means hurrying over to your place to see what you’ve come up with. * happy dance * Such beautiful birds! That little humming one is so well captured. ❤ And I love the flock of birds!

I went for a walk yesterday afternoon looking for decorative or ornamental birds but didn’t find anything I was really happy with so here’s a selective colour treatment of two gulls:

Wonderful photos, Cee. The owls brought me a big smile. The hummingbird is a great shot – just enough blur to give us that feel of motion.
I’m off to hunt down some birds – in my archive, not in real life 🙂

What a hoot, those owls in the cleft of a tree. I’m opting for very distant birds: views from our window 🙂
