CUTE SPARROW

Back to bird watching again - since I'm home more than I'm out.  

We made it through Mother's Day without snow which means.....we shouldn't have any more until late fall!  

We still aren't having all that  many birds coming to the yard - since spring brings out a lot of bugs.  I've gotten new plastic inserts for a bird bath.  I always find it fun to watch them take baths.

SPARROW STOPPING BY FOR A DRINK

I always enjoy when the birds come by for a drink and stay for a few photos.  I like the "bokeh" effect on the background which was not done on purpose and I only saw it later.  I didn't even know what the word meant until someone mentioned it on another of my photos and I had to look it up.

So - in case you have never heard of it here is the definition:


Bokeh is the official name for a specific photography effect.  The name actually comes from the Japanese word for blur or haze.  Bokeh is the aesthetic quality of out of focus blur in a photograph.
