Bashful and oh-so-blue.

Look who’s moving in to one of the weathered wooden hutches that hang from our fenceposts.

My kingdom for a better camera.

    GORGEOUS! Just stunningly good use of the camera there.

    Was that not a chosen effect? That bottom left picture is especially interesting to me, the effect and the watery look, the wings and the shadows. Love it! It looks (oh God, here she goes with the wispy tendrils and roses and such) like a poem would look if you could see it. Like maybe if you were that autistic guy who sees the landscape of numbers.

    Oh, ooops, I should clarify things here. I took these pictures of the bluebird, and they came out all blurry because I wasn’t close enough and I don’t have a camera that will let me zoom in properly, so what I did was to add an artistic filter in Photoshop. This particular filter is called “dry brush”. It makes the image look like a painting.

    That’s what I do when my pictures come out blurry…I add artistic Photoshop filters. And sometimes, they come out quite nice, like the shots above. But for once, I’d like so much to just have the original shots — not blurry. Someday…I’ll have a (semi)professional digital camera. :)
