My Garden

16 comments

Well, everything is ok in my garden at this moment in time :o))
With the isolating we are having to do I’m having to do things myself as my new gardener I had come last year is in isolation too, I’ve always cut my own grass as I like doing it :o))
I have also been busy with my Hobby “Photography” I bought myself a secondhand hand Nikon Lens 200-500mm for Bird Photography, Wow! It sure is a heavy lens, I need muscles on my muscles LOL, I thought you may like to look of some of the photos my Hubby & I have taken with it, I know it’s not gardening but the wildlife live in my garden.

PS My Shih tzu Pebbles had to be included LOL

Even the sparrows look exotic in your photos! Bet you are pleased with your new lens! You did well to capture that little mouse - and the goldfinch is gorgeous. Your photos are a joy.

Thanks for your comments, I still have a lot to learn as some of the pics should be sharper, for instance, the mouse pic I had to sharpen as I took it through a double glazed window which isn't a good idea LOL.
I will now be able to practice more now due to the better weather coming my way, with this lens I need good light, my hubby Barry & I will attempt to make a Hide.

Shhhh! I haven't told him yet LOL, somewhere deep in the Summerhouse I have a big sheet of Camouflage Netting that would be great, Barry could make a frame hopefully :o))
I'll take Photo's of it in the making if your interested?

We all love to see photos, whether they are flowers, trees, wildlife or pets, they all in some way relate to your garden. And.. we like to see photos of days out and achievements, we just like photos really!
These are stunning and you have Sparrows!
The British Trust of Ornithology is always wanting people to count the birds in their garden.

I found the camouflage netting, just got to make a frame now, I have some plastic piping from when I made a frame tunnel to go over my pond to cover with netting :o)) So will make a start on the Hide today :o))

Really love your photos, please keep putting them on here. I especially like the goldfinch which is one of my favourite birds. I have a small one clipped on to my handbag, I bought it from the RSPB shop at Fairhaven Lake Lytham St.Annes. Its so good how our gardens attract such lovely wildlife

Oh! I have a problem? The Nikon Camera & Lens is too heavy for me, it has hurt my wrist so Hubby is having it & I’m going over to Sony, I have an a6000 & will buy the 200-600mm to go with it, so when it arrives in June I will put some more pictures on :o)) xx Jackie xx
