Visit from Bill

February 19th, 2006 by sallad

BluejayThis weekend, Bill came down for a visit from South Carolina. He’s in the navy there and wanted to get some time off base, and we’re always eager for guests to visit.

I’m not sure I can really explain what all we did this weekend except stay up late, sleep in in the mornings, eat too much, and go bowling. We drove around downtown looking for cool things to check out, but it was cold and rainy and parking was a pain. The aquarium is still booked up with reservations, so we couldn’t check that out. We did go to the Brazillian restaurant, J. Christopher’s, and Krispy Kreme. And we did quickly check out Junkman’s Daughter, a vintagey shop in Little 5 Points. It was fun, relaxing weekend.

Saturday morning, in between rain showers, I got a couple bluejay photos. My favorite is the entry photo.

    That’s a great shot. We’ve seen red-wing blackbirds in the backyard over the last week or so. First time I’d ever seen any other than in pictures. I think I’m going to look for a birding lens or a longer zoom for my Canon EOS SLR to get some shots of the critters we see in our backyard.

    Did you take that picture with your camera? If so, is it just through the telephoto, or did you use another trick? Love how his chest down is all fluffy.

    I wish that was taken with my camera. It was with Thomas’ Nikon D70 and his birding lens, which is a Sigma 50-500mm. It’s a huge lens, but I’m able to get decent shots from inside the house and through the window.
