~ Gone Fishing ~
aaaahhhh a little break from hockey tonite. I will bet I get to bed a fairly decent hour. LOL Thanks to all who made picks in the poll. I appreciate you all being silly right along with me.
Yesterday when I got home from work my sister and I decided to go get a bird feeder. Ya know, fishing for birds. I swear the birds have all scattered since I got my lens. I kid you not!!! Anyway we went and found some gorgeous feeders. I almost fell over when I found the one I loved and it was $100. Ummmm I don't think so. So we found something a bit cheaper that would do the trick. I will probably go and get a little different one too. I'm told Cardinals probably won't come to the one I have. Supposedly they are a bit skiddish and if it moves beneath them they will go away. We'll see. I think I have manly Cardinals, not some sissies! :)
Before we left the house we decided rather quickly to grab a bit to eat at a little hot dog stand on the lake. I quickly grabbed my camera as it was. I didn't grab my bag, just the camera with the lens already on. We got to the lake and ate some really good greasy/messy burgers and curly fries. It was out of this world!! I don't normally eat like that but damn it tasted good.
As we walked back to the car I noticed two guys in the water fishing. It's been warm, but that made me shiver. They were a ways from me but I thought it would be a good test with my lens. I got it out of the car and took a shot. I purposely left the 'mess' in the forefront. It's the left over from the winter storms washing things into shore. It won't be long and folks will have cleaned up. Stacked in a pile for summer night bon fires. I turned the other way to get a shot of the skyline. The electric wind mills high in the air in front of the city. I took one shot and my camera beeped. Oh great... dead batteries and my spare ones are in my bag at the house. Just my luck!! GRRR That'll teach me to leave the house without the camera bag! So a bit disappointed in myself we came home and put the bird feeder up.
It hangs from a tree directly out my bathroom window, mid way through my yard. Easy enough to pop open the screen and get shots in the early morning. It will probably take a bit to get the birds to find it. I teased last night and said I'd get home from work today and the food would be gone and I'd still have no birds. :::giggle::: I was luckier then that, there was still food.
Nothing else is happening really. It's hump day, YEAH!! I took a 2 hour pass on Friday. Oh, I love those passes!!! No plans, just getting out of work. It's been nuts there and I've been working way to hard. :) Hope everyone is doing great.
Hugs

My dad commented recently about there not being as many birds at his feeders as before. Are they all on strike or something? ;)

I need to fill my bird feeders as well, I am going to get a few more for the back part of the house as that is where most of the bluejays & cardinals go too.
Love the pics.
