Macro Monday Skittles Feather

When I babysat my daughter's parakeet I had a mess involved, but I didn't mind, it gave me opportunity to play with the camera.

I never did get the exact view I was hoping for but I was stubborn and wouldn't use my tripod.

Still, I thought some of them were fun.

See, messy bird! My family's just glad I didn't leave it there for a year before snapping, like I did with the cupcake, lol.

Macro Monday is easy to play, snap a macro (or any close-up) photo, post it on your blog and come back here and sign Mr Linky. MM started on Sept 29, 2008 - Thanx to all of you for helping make it such a fun start to the week! :)

This feather came from our little friend who came in, lol.

Still, I would babysit again. :)

Macro Monday Skittles

I'd like to introduce you to Skittles. He's a blue parakeet and belongs to my daughter. I had opportunity to babysit for a week and I really enjoyed having him around.

But he's a little nervous so this is as close as I could get.

Time is calming him some, but he also has a new friend and that's helping a lot. I don't have photos of his new friend yet though.

I also want to take a moment to tell my husband, "Happy Anniversary! The best decision I have ever made in my life was saying yes to you! Thank you for always being here!"
