It was a nice idea, but camera carrying is not a natural activity for me. Not to mention that I wasn't yet using a digital camera. (I still love my camera that requires film, by the way.) It takes really nice pictures, and I get to hold it up to my eye and peer through a little square aperature, like I've done for years.

| Surf's up in Hawaii |
While Good Guy was recording the beauties of Hawaii, I was knitting a sock for Lynn. She needed to be updated on its progress apparently.
He did get a shot of the surf without the sock, by the way, savvy photographer that he is.

| Cardinal--Hawaii style |
Then, there's this interesting guy who joined us for lunch at an outdoor table at lunchtime. Isn't he a beauty? It was interesting to me that a great many of the flora and fauna that we consider native to Hawaii, were in fact introduced and have crowded native species out. Some are being reintroduced by garden groups and horticulturists.
In addition to this handsome fellow, Hawaii also boasts the beautiful red cardinal and his khaki colored consort which we have here in Michigan. It is always a treat to spot them here because they seem shy compared to our ubiquitous chickadees, finches, nuthatches, woodpeckers, robins, and mourning doves.
Well, that's about all I have this morning from the Archives of Bird World. Enjoy this lovely summer day!
That cardinal is so unique - sort of reminds me of a woodpecker!!!
ReplyDeleteHe is lovely....We don't get many exciting birds in our yard, we have no big mature trees. I love cardinals and enjoy watching them eating from the fig trees whenever we visit family in Mississippi.
ReplyDeleteHe IS cardinal shaped, but who'd have thought! His coloring reminds me of a rose-breasted grosbeak.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the sock. Oh- - - the ocean is fine too - - - but I am totally FASCINATED that some people still knit socks!!!! I read about doing that in historical fiction novels, but if you ever hear of ME knitting a sock, you will KNOW it is pure fiction!
One day I do want a pair of home knit socks though - - - it's on my bucket list.
Keetha makes me laugh every day - Thank you dear :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a savvy photographer you have there, to catch the ocean with a sock model in front of the camera lol
Film is great. I'm beginning to think about using it again, but digital is so easy to share online.
