Weekly Prompts Weekend Challenge – Nearby

I’m always amazed at how close wildlife will let you approach them before flying or waddling away. Seagulls are very use to humans but racoons shouldn’t be out in the daytime and this one certainly didn’t move one inch the whole time I took photos. I suspect that he wasn’t well, so I didn’t get too close. The bunny in our backyard is so familiar with us now that he doesn’t even freeze when he sees us.

Weekly Prompts Weekend Challenge – Birds n Bees

Posted on May 27, 2023 by Mama Cormier

….thanks to Sue W and GC for hosting Weekly Prompts

Some of my favourite subjects for photography are bees on flowers and birds. I find photographing birds more difficult because I can’t get close enough with my iPhone and I need to use my ‘big’ camera with the telephoto lens. I don’t always have the camera with me because it is awkward and heavy but when I do it takes superior shots of birds.
