I love photographing the birds who visit our backyard, and once the flowers bloom, I start messing around with different ways of looking at the garden. This week, I was also experimenting with the new lens I got (bought) for my birthday.

Here’s a selection of recent pics.

The turkey, who we nicknamed Drumstick, hasn’t been around for a couple weeks. I hope he found his flock rather than an untimely end.
