Don't let your camera battery run down ...

Which is what happened to me when I spotted two Mourning Doves walking around; nibbling on something off the ground!

They were so calm with having me near them. I had thought at first that maybe their wings were clipped or something, but then the two of them flew into a near by tree. By that time, my camera shut down on me from a dead battery. ( Great! ) I had taken ten or so pictures already but wanted more .. For anyone else, this would have been more than enough, but not for me..
( I can be a bit crazy when it comes to taking pictures ....okay, I am crazy )

So ......

I ran back inside and placed my battery into its charging dock and waited for two mins ...Being fearful that the birds would be gone by the time I got back., I hurried up and placed the battery back inside the camera ...got half way out ..and ( Shoot! Battery still dead! ) ..Ran back and placed the battery BACK in its charger ..( Yes, I can be that impatient some times )

Finally, after five mins, I had it charged enough to take a few more pictures!


It's been a great day!

Again with the nature pics

I took these a few days ago in our backyard. This little birdie was just hopping around. I think it's a little finch. He ..(or she?) ..was a sure cutie.

I'm going to miss these things once we move. I'm not sure what I'm going to do when that happens and the puppies are gone.

Hope you all enjoy theses as much as I have enjoyed taking them.
