Sparrows in the Backyard

Posted on January 3, 2011
Sparrow
Having a Meal

My neighbor puts a lot of bird feed and I get to click the pictures. I wish I had the pose of the first sparrow along with the background of the second (loved that bougainvillea flowers background) but then birds are one of the worst models of the world. And yet when it comes to taking pictures, I love going after the birds. So, on the coming weekend I  am going to spend a lot of time in front of that bougainvillea shrubs to get a better picture.

    The sparrow in the second frame was probably giving herself some colours that nature did not.

    Sparrows are fun to watch.

    Wish you a great year ahead.

    Thanks Chitra, we are lucky, in my part they still can be seen easily and in numbers.

    Anil very true, sparrows are fun to watch. May you travel more and click more pictures and write many more beautiful stories and verses.

    What a photo! Even if you would have arranged the background, it wouldn’t have been any better!
