Birds

Nibble the parakeet can be such a great poser. I especially like this one.

She is looking at you with a cocked head making it a wonderful and cute photo.

This bird waddled right over, ready for a photo.

This little duck was relaxing on a log watching others swim around.

These birds were moving around, searching for food and socializing.

This macaw was perched in a tree. Along beside me was another photographer. The macaw almost seemed to realize that  we were taking photos.

High in a tall bush, this cardinal was constantly moving around. Luckily, it paused for a few seconds, allowing me to take this photo.

Taking this picture using the ‘rule of thirds’ , this seagull was soaring over the ocean. The rule of thirds is where you look at the photo in three parts. In this photo, the first third was the top section, the second third was the middle section, and the third third was the bottom part. The seagull is in the third third of the photo.

While taking photos of the walkway at Emerald Isle, as I do each year, a sparrow landed right at the perfect spot, giving a great addition to the photo.

Cats

Here is a very colorful kitten from the Orange County Animal Shelter.

Here is a mother cat breast-feeding behind a house. Whenever she left, we would get to meet the affectionate, playful, cute kittens.
