Sky-Tripping

Sunday, February 04, 2024

Yesterday, I spotted the little Merlin again perched in the bare-limbed tree. I’m watching that tree; it attracts many exciting birds, boldly against the sky.

The day’s beautiful and clear sky was inviting.

A great sky! Such that my camera captured clearly (for the first time) an in-flight plane.

That lovely day also produced a more visible bird population. Like this watchful Western Jay.

And this Townsend’s Solitaire is one of my favorite birds.

I’m starting to comprehend this new camera’s range capabilities, but still have barely a glimmer of its overall possibilities. I know it’s capable of making great closeups, and today, playing with close-up ranges will teach more about its potential–and about mine as its operator.

Dear Friends: Enjoy this Sunday, the day has opened just lovely. Diana
