Ups and Downs of the Week
Bruins – First place in the Eastern Conference.
Airline Baggage Rules – The bozos who drag huge luggage onto planes and hold everyone up while they try to stuff it into overhead compartments don’t have to pay a dime. But those folks who do it right and check their baggage get robbed. Someone please explain.
Home Sweet Home – Always good to get back. And we still have a few more days off.

PhotographyComments Off on Busy Day at the Feeder
Bird merge. This is a merger of 24 images shot a few seconds apart. Lots of bird activity at the feeder today. One thing that struck me when I was merging these images was how the birds seem to have favorite roosting spots. The areas that have birds in this image actually had lots of birds that would have overlapped, whereas the areas with no birds simply had no birds landing there for the whole span of time.

Still going for the old film look. Looks more like an oil painting, though.
