Who's Watching Who

Well I am back.

Bird watching is a curious phrase, I often feel like the watched rather than the watcher as in these pictures:


Asleep?  I don't think so...




Watching while having a dip...an eye out all the time.



 
 
 
This eagle was surveying its surroundings, taking in me and everyone else passing by.
 


 
 The Redwing blackbirds have been back for a while and are staking out their territory around the pond.


 
 
 


A Rufus sided Towhee taking a rest from foraging in the undergrowth.


A Robin catching the early worm still has a bit of time to keep and eye on me.



..and this Chickadee stopped to watch me pass.

 
 
The Crows are always alert.
 


It is two weeks since my surgery and I am feeling much better, still sleeping a lot but able to get out and walk now. The fresh air is wonderful and I even took my camera with me yesterday and came home with these shots.
 
I have started splashing a bit of paint around in the last couple of days but have nothing to show yet.
 
Spring seems to have snuck up on me this year, I think it came while I was napping. I am looking forward to improving my fitness, flexing my artistic muscles and enjoying the new season.
 
Until next time, happy Wednesday, thanks for stopping by.........

  5. Good to see you, Gillian. I'm glad that things are looking up. Except for those birds which are looking all over the place. Great shots, but the Baldie is especially stunning.
