My backyard

I didn't have to go too far yesterday to grab these shots...I stepped out the back door and saw amazing things. God never ceases to amaze me with all the beauty that surrounds us!!
First, my all time fav addiction; Lens Flare:

I just love the glow of shots like this, it puts me in a happy place.
I love animals, and I really love birds in particular...I had one as a kid named princessa...can't remember what type of bird she was...Mom, Pop, do u? Anyway, I threw some bread out, hid behind a column on my porch and waited, this guy was slick, he landed, stared, grabbed and flew all in a matter of seconds. lol. Here he is checking me out:

Heard of that term "Hate to eat and run"? Well "Hate to eat and fly":
I love that I got him in flight...I wanted to run and grab him and kiss him. lol.
While I was bird watching the kids were playing on the trampoline:

And my lil clown Mariel thought she was just hilarious with this one:

And my shadow decided to pop up, making me angry because she looks thinner than I do, what's up with that?:

Til we meet again tomorrow...
