changing the lens: birds, bees, butterflies and a leaf
This is the result when my dear daughter in law Violet took the SLR out into the garden today - a sunny mild autumn Saturday - and used a different lens to the one I usually use.
Those are very nice pictures - I especially like the lorikeet and the single red autumn leaf mixed with the green foliage. (Maybe it's just because red is my favorite color.)
Hi Catmint You have probably worked out by now that the 4th photo down is Crimson Rosella (juvenile or immature). I will have a photo of a similar bird tonight, plus an adult. It is the blue cheeks which confirm the ID. Cheers Denis
Great photos ... you get to see some fantastic wildlife down there. Loved the shot of the Wattlebird and the Crimson Rosella.
ReplyDeleteWow, she took some great shots.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos... I love the photo of a bird sitting on an upright branch. Very sweet...
ReplyDeleteCheers, have a great weekend

Hi Denis, it's very kind of you to say I have probably worked out by now that that bird is a CR. NOW I know, thank you so much, cheers, catmint
