Oldiesmann: I'm not aware of any Jenny. Not sure why activity has died down on this site so much though 2023-06-12, 00:06:36

JennyW: Also, does anyone know other photo sharing sites that are Christian? 2023-05-16, 08:47:03

JennyW: Hello Everyone! I really miss activity on this site. I've been discouraged by photography sites where you have to sort through so much explicit content in order to see photos that truly glorify God. I'd love to see this site pick up again. 2023-05-16, 08:46:36

Janet: Carol, I am just reading this.  So sorry for your loss, glad your beloved Don knew the Lord and you have the assurance of his eternity  and that you WILL see him again.  Much love to you.  Janet 2022-06-18, 08:49:36

Oldiesmann: So sorry for your loss Carol. Praying for you and your family :( 2022-05-01, 17:13:05

Carol: My husband Don is with the angels.....Our family was able to hold  ourselves together for the last moments.  Juar rhoufhr you might want to know. 2022-04-29, 23:35:15

Carol: Thankful:  Don is home from hospital.  I found him unconscious with head outside on the floor and the rest was in the shower.  At the same moment, one son was walking through the front door to visit.  Two fire trucks came racing in and they took over After 2021-12-29, 22:01:26

How to Use This Board

Here's our
31st Challenge for you all.


"B I R D S"


          

Details:   

  • This topic was chosen by Sarge, who won our  last Challenge.  The subject of the next Mini Challenge is "BIRDS".  Sarge says, "Let's see lots of birds."

    • Only bird pictures taken in the wild, not in cages/aviaries
    • Bird pictures can be taken whenever you want, now or in the past.
    • Birds in flight are accepted as well.
    • No people in the photos or animals please, just the bird.



  • Use the attachment feature to show your photos (see directions above in the link to "How to Use This Board") in your post or link to them from your gallery or an offsite location that allows linking using the image codes.  If you have trouble, please contact a moderator (name in blue) or an administrator (name in red) and we'll help you post your photo.  If you have your photo in your gallery, please don't use the attachment feature as that puts the photo on our server twice but rather link to it.  It's best if your photos are at least 500 to 600 pixels wide so that they are easily seen.

  • Please upload up to 4 entries per member for this challenge.    

  • The challenge is open now and will be closed to uploads on April 19, 2009   and then we'll vote on them.    

  • Please tell us the camera you used to take your photo and when you took it.  Please only enter photos taken by you.    

  • Please put a short title above your photo.  We need the title for the poll listing.  If you want to tell us a bit about your photos, please do that in a separate post so that every post ONLY has the Title and then the Photo and that's all.   

  • Please post only one entry per post.  . 

  • Of course, we're going to see who is posting the photos so this is not an anonymous challenge.  So start posting.  Click on the "Reply" button below and start this challenge!
    Remember, this is a fun project!

Just a reminder of the details above (to make it easier for the moderators looking after the challenge), please post what camera you used to take the photo UNDER your photo.

Post a Title (that we will use in the poll) ABOVE your photo.

Tell us a bit about your photo in a new post so that when voting time comes along, we only have:

  • TITLE

  • Photo

  • Camera Used

July 31, 2008. Momma merganser must take the kids out for orientation swims, but she does so at great peril (see the guy in my first post above.)

These 3 Images were taken with either the Olympus E-1 or E-3 body and the 50-200 f4.0-5.6 lens.

Salt




Salt is a white egret, who usually works the opposite side of the lake from Pepper.  He's gotten used to me, too.   This morning I was walking Bagel, and he was flying over the lake.   Then, he banked toward me, flew by just a few yards away, checking me out, and then landed on the shore about 15 yards from where I was, and began hunting.

Just a really friendly reminder...

So that all entries have only a title, the camera used and the photo, PLEASE add another post to tell us a bit about the photo so that before voting starts, we'll move them to another topic.

Please continue to tell us about the photo, etc. but in a separate post. 

So, put a short title above your photos (Don will add that title to the poll) and then post your photo and then below the photo, put your camera used.

Thanks so much.  It just means that all the entries are the same when the voting starts.

Hope we get 100 in this challenge!!!  :)

Heron searching for dinner.

[attachimg=#]

This image was taken in a salt marsh along the Jersey shore.  But it could have been anywhere.  Herons are popular because they are everywhere and they stand still while they are look for for that tasty minnow or crawfish.

This image is a favorite because it was a little out of focus.  But I used software to "soften" the image.

Long Neck Pelican.

[attachimg=#]

It also appears that pelicans are a popular subject.

I think that is because they are sociable birds and they don't seem to mind people.  This pelican was sitting on a guard rail on a fishing dock.  I think they also like to steal bait where ever the opportunity presents itself.  And he was watching carefully.

Lazy Gull

[attachimg=#]

This gull looks dumb and happy.  The world is rushing by, but he doesn't seem to mind.  Not a care in the world.

What I like are the splashes of color in the background, provided by bright wild flowers.

P.S.  Sorry I missed the last "landscape" challenge.  I went out and took some pictures, but then got too busy to upload the,.  That is too busy.
