Thank you very much. They have just started making their nest for this year. I look forward to it, yet the chirping of new chicks gets loud some mornings. You see, their nest is outside my bedroom window!

awww ,I love these birds so much!
when I was a child they used to make their nest to my window and once I saw my cat attacked their nest and ate one of them ..It was the first horrible scene of my childhood to see how my lovely cat became a something very wild ...

Oh what a sad, sad thing for a little girl. I have a hard time when my dog or cat get a mouse! My dog has gotten a baby chicken..and I got resentful for a few days. This nest is on my bedroom balcony so they are protected well.

I've kind of been ditching the chat scene, lately. I don't know it's fun, but...I guess I haven't been in much of the mood.

LOL - you don't need to be honoured - I'm not that great - just very ordinary with my photography - but I do try hard LOL My dream is to get baby birds but because I have no balance, climbing trees and ladders are out. Guess I'll just have to leave those ones to the experts

Hahah remember I am disabled! It was my handy dandy zoom lady and me in a chair!! If I can do it YOU can do it. Swallows live on the sides of barns and houses in mud nests.
I am honored and I do find you extraordinary so neeners!!

I'm picturing you in a wheel chair that has a button that turns it into a cherry picker What other attachments do you have LOL

shell4art In reply to carterr [2007-07-13 00:49:09 +0000 UTC]
You silly goose.. no wheelchair.. it's just a chair..I use a walker sometimes but I haven't had to for some months.

carterr In reply to shell4art [2007-07-13 01:34:58 +0000 UTC]
lol - ok - aren't those walkers horrible to use. I've had to use them when in hospital, but they do nothing fo rme as I have no balance - so here I am, dizzy, absolutely no balance, and the nurses want me to use them. One of htese days I'll fall over and break my hip because the walker will be underneath me - but I can't try and get them to understand how dangerous they are for me.
So you have no cherry picker attachments with you? wouldnt it be great if there was something designed, to fit in our handbags, or camera bags, that with a push of a button, you can get safely high, or close to anything you want for the ultimate shot , and afterwards would fold up perfectly and fit back in our bags

Ohh woman..now you're talking! I would just like one with arms to push people out of my way!! or an instant tripod..maybe with a periscope scope so I can focus,,,ohh too much fun...we should design the photographers wheelchair/cherry picker/walker MUHAHAHA we can take over the woooorld!

Absolutely - What about one to get rid of unruly children as well?? last time I was at the zoo - I was taking a photo and this kid just pushed in front of me. Parents looked on and totally ignored the rudeness. I actually said something to the kid in the end as the paretns weren't going to. Anyway - an attachment to get rid of rude children iss a must too
LOL

Great timing on the shot that could easily be missed. I'd thought the mother would be bigger but I was wrong..she must have worked her ass off to feed four chicks

The babies are the size of my thumb!! Mama about the size of my pinkie to wrist 4.5 inches or so. She seems to feed them for a long time as does 2 other swallows.
