Description
Albuquerque New Mexico
every year a pair of sparrows makes their nest in the exterior rafters of our home - this is the second set of chicks ready to fledge this year
not as colorful as hummers but all life is precious even that belonging to critters my partner refers to as rats of the sky

Pigeons share this not so beautiful title too.
The little birds look lovely. It must be great to see them grow up.
I used to feed pigeons and collared doves and one year a pair of pigeons nested on my balcony. It was great to see the eggs turning into little birds. Then unfortunately one morning the baby birds were killed by a magpie

I've been a bit moody lately. I finished an ACEO mini painting a couple of days ago that I've been working on for two weeks. *It's not that complicated, I just did little bits and pieces on it with breaks* I'm not pleased the way the colors look in the photos I took of it, so I'm not going to upload it. The yellows in the background are too dominant and it turns out that my mom's camera doesn't like ultramarine blue.. I'm not really good at choosing scanner or camera friendly colors.
I also spent quite a bit of time at my dad's. I took a lot of pictures of flowers and plants and of Benji. I might upload a photo.
Thank you for asking

of course
when you take your image from the camera to your computer, do you have a program that can manipulate the color to be more faithful to your originals ?
and i'd love to see some of your photos when you have time to upload them

I had a pair of barn swallows insisting on building on top of the outside light, right by my backdoor. I kept knocking it down, which they didn't like. They would swoop at me and I would shake my broom at them
