Citrus And Finch

It's late in the day, actually, it's almost another day, it's 11:08pm on Sunday night, just enough time to get this post together to link up with Rebecca Cooper on her blog, Simple As That.

Every Sunday she has a link up for anyone to share how the simple moments were found through photography during our week. I rarely partake, because unless I'm using Instagram, my photos pretty much stink. Just being honest. But I love this link up because it challenges me. I am not good at photography, but I've always been attracted to the art of it, and I don't mind trying. 

I took these pictures with my regular camera, it's a Canon, that's all I know about the camera.

You will see why I participated this week!!! I am so excited to share my pictures with you, so without further adieu, here is my friend, the House Finch.


It all started with an orange. I was trying to attract Orioles. But apparently the House Finch is quite fond of this outstanding citrus fruit.


He is thinking about diving in.



Getting distracted is an easy thing for birds. That is why I am so thankful for this moment I got with this guy!
{I shot from inside the living room while he was on my deck, through my french doors}
And that they actually turned out and needed very little editing. Look at his feet!


Oh I will never be able to describe my love and fascination I have for birds. They are the most endearing, sweet, mysterious, beautiful, lovely, amazing, intricate, precious, cutest things ever. There is nothing quite like a bird to help me through the week. 

I hope you enjoyed these as much as I enjoyed my moment in capturing them!

Great photo. I love bird watching. If you have a desire to be a photographer that's the first step. Just keep shooting. Thanks so much for mentioning the link with "Simplest Things" I'll have to do that next Sunday.

Beautiful photos, Gina!
That is such a pretty bird. And such a nice photo. And I just wanted to say thank you for the lovely comments you leave on my blog. They make my day every time!
These pictures turned out great! Also impressive since you were taking the picture from inside (they never look good when I try that). And about the postcards: I will probably just send them to friends/family.. but really it is up to you if you join in :)

saying a prayer for you today.

can't believe I missed you this week on the simple things! Love those photos. Besides, I do believe it's not all about fancy cameras, techniques and all that, you have got to have a unique view and creativity to make your photos come to life. So make yourself smaller than you are!
