Yesterday afternoon I took a little tour of the yard with hubby and the new camera. This was to be the basic tutorial. Since I don't like to read cumbersome instruction books, and he seems to actually enjoy it, this seemed like a great arrangement. The first lesson involved learning how to turn it on, zoom in and out, and turn it off.
So I decided that the yard tour should have a theme, for blogging purposes of course. I would look for signs of living things that frequent the yard....some welcomed, and some that we would rather have go elsewhere. The first picture (this means a multiple picture challenge) is of the azalea bush in front of our garage. You will note that the top of the bush is awash with blooms. That's because the deer have munched everything at the level of their mouths and down. Definitely not deers that are dears....
The second picture is what is left of a tree we had cut down a few weeks ago. It was starting to lean a little too close to the house for our comfort. Hubby told the tree guy not to drive his bucket truck onto the lawn, so he climbed up the tree...fast like a monkey....with the belt and the shoes with metal climbing spikes and a cigarette hanging out of his mouth! Picture a guy hanging by a belt from a tree with a cigarette in his mouth while wielding a chain saw in both hands. I guess that's what some would call living on the edge.
The last picture is a tree in our front yard that looks like someone used it for target practice. Not so. It's a big red-headed woodpecker's buffet. There must be some real tasty treats in there. He pecks and pecks until he can't get his head in any further, and then he starts a new one. Kind of like me when I'm going through the fridge and the cupboards looking for a late night snack. Only I'm a lot more quiet about it.
So that's about it for the nature tour. I seem to have mastered the first part of the tutorial. Hubby says this camera is quite amazing and will do about a gazillion things. Yeah, but will it load the dishwasher?
