Awwww

Ok, I had one of those crap days. Two of the Upper Echelon snapped my head off out of the blue, leaving me with cartoon-y question marks over my head, followed by big black clouds, even though I know better.

I bucked up and took my new camera out to a local sculpture park that also has these Rent-A-Garden plots. Admiring fall harvest, I came across THIS little guy, completely flustered, and unable to get out of his web (click on that picture to get a better idea of just how tangled up he is!)

Being the Bird Whisperer, I told him "Hang on a second while I take your picture, and then I'll get you out of there, Buddy." I actually called him Buddy. So he sat still and said cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeese, and then I saved his life, and then I felt better about the day.

  5. PP: He had his eyes closed in the first shot, so he made me do it over.

    Andy: "Fellow" birdwhisperer? Do ye whisper at birdies also?

    NoLife: Oh, talking cameras! That was taken with my new little teensy Sony T1. I have an Olympus C3000 that's really great, and I dream about the Nikon D70 Digital SLR, but I'd have to prostitute myself to afford it right now.

  6. Cor, yes, I be a-whisperin' ta tha wee bairns alla time. I seem to have a knack for finding lost, strayed or injured ones to nurse back to health and set free. I like to feed them, watch them and sing to them. We've had many a fair chat the boids and I. You may think I'm nuts but I have quite the vocabulary of bird calls. I even got a book with a CD to practice with.
