Snowblog.In search of buried treasure ..

OK - so tell, BB! How did you get the writing on top of your photos? I didn't know you were a closet techie!

Also, please tell me how your Coprosma has survived when mine haven't?

Great fun as usual - thank you.

would love to know too!

This Picasa photo shop came with computer it gets constantly updated so this is version 3 - not a techie very simple to use .Computer tells me I ve received update if I had to ask for it probably would nt know where to start ..

Must be common to be included in computer so guess you should be able to download Picasa ? You then get a text box appear , you can change type colour placement of text have it in a box like Gee does or have clear backgound like here.

Simple to use and could actually detail plants etc direct to photo.I also save originals without text.

Jacque uses something called Picnic which she says can be downloaded free and performs similar functions .

As for Coprosma Spritz think its hanging on out of sympathy - looking round thinking poor chap if I give up he ll have nothing left !

Brilliant Bonkers..........funny as ever.......

Your wrong side of peninnes BB no snow here, loved your photo's as always, and your blog.

Thanks Milky...their antics are so funny to watch,and it seems a shame not to take photos too !
Lol Clarice..al this snow took everyone by surprise ! Thanks both .....

Very entertaining as usual :o)

Hi, thanks for lovely pictures and story. Love Mage.

Thank Hywel and Marge...: )

very snassey bonkerstone. How did you you do the writting on the photos and also how do you get such great shots. I am green with envie Sorry did not spell that right Great stuff Love your blogs and photos

Thanks Donnah...just try to be in the right place at right time...hit and miss really.If you see above where Ive answered Spritz,it explains the writing !

How on earth did you get little willie wagtail in flight - fantastic. My instant camera is so slow animals just walk away and make me look foolish.

Oh poor Ams....bet they dont walk away when youre feeding them lol...just luck he took off as I pressed button..no skill involved !

As entertaining as ever, great shots and pleased to see Cyril is in there.

Thanks Dawn...just another brief appearance to grab a few monkey nuts,then run off back to drey.Sensible really !

Bless Him, does Twiggy ever come out.

Only very occasionally dawn....hoping thats a good sign.Will be watching carefully over next couple of months,but if babies are in there,wont see them til about 10 weeks old so should be sometime in April.Long time to go yet !

That is a long time but won't it be GREAT! How long have you had Cyril BB, is he quite young himself.

Only been here a year Dawn so guess so....he first appeared last winter,checking out the territory...and stayed !!

Thanks for making me chuckle Bb - particularly the top pic of the crows/rooks on the stump - looked to me like they were practicing a dance routine!

Reminds me of that Morecame and Wise routine..Bring me sunshine......lol

I always enjoy your little story lines BB they are great fun .

I have downloaded the picasa and have used it on some of my own photos its fun , I bought a book from Tesco called Digital photography it was £5.00 it showed you how to do it and explains a lot of things , a lot of it goes over my head , but it has been very usful to me .......well worth having ....

Amy...its so good to watch the birds,and sometimes the expressions just lend themselves to captions.no matter what the technology..nature has its own way ! x

Billiant blog BB....Love your captions. I'll have to try doing that. I don't have Picaso but I have Photo Studio which should do the same kind of thing.

Lol.Bb as usual another great blog,think your choice of tools looks a teensy bit drastic tho...

Fun photo set, BB, thanks, I enjoyed them.
Looking out of the window at 8am I can see that our snow is just sarting to go back - goody.
I have photoshop elements and find it useul for writing captions on pictures. There realy is nothing magical or difficult to it - and I am the worlds worst at technological stuff.

Thanks Gilli....Oh Lincslass...desperate measures for desperate times ! Only joking...snow thawing fast here today,just everywhere waterlogged now lol. Hopefully thats the end of it,as mild weather forecast next few days !
Bulbaholic...glad to hear your weather improving...its certainly been a long haul !

BB loved your pics as usual, put some brown bread out today which attracted the gulls, it took them ages to circle around (the garden is small) but 4 of them managed to pick it up......and the pigeons had the rest, moving the seed feeder tomorrow.....watch this space!!

Hi Dd thank you - we used to live near sea front and gulls gave up on going to sea for fish.

They would wait for night clubs to empty knowing there would be loads of excess pizzas and kebabs on offer - probably got a taste for lager as well !

Good luck with the feeder - looking forward to seeing how you get on.

Another Fab Story Ray/Jane i love the Pics 2 its so Entertianing reading Your Blogs ,Iv got my Fingers/Toes crossed for Your Baby Squirrels & Totos Baby Blue Tits:) All Happening here on GOY isnt it :) xxx

O & Diedas Baby Wood Pigeons :) & Eileens Magpies :)

Thanks Jacque,and dont forget Gees Tufty and Ann Other...they have disappeared and I bet they are family making too ! lol

Oh and while we are at it Dawn has a pair of robins too,and what about your beautiful pair of thrushes !!!

must say the Snow and jour Birds looks also nice, even if there is no Grass or Flowers.

Thanks Eckie...they do say spring is on its way...not before time,but the fresh snow is lovley to lookat !

Brilliant!

Thanks...not much you can do in conditions like these !
