******************************************************
Wasn't that a FANTASTIC selection of bird photos????
WOW!
For those of you that don't take any kind of wildlife photos, please know that catching birds is one of the hardest photos to get. Not only are they skiddish, but it is hard to get a clear shot or a closeup shot of them.  I admire every-one-of-you-that-entered's talent!
Thank you so much for entering!!

If you entered the July contest, and I accidentally forgot to include your entry photo in this blogpost, please notify me IMMEDIATELY so I can repost this blogpost. It happens, as much as I try to get everybody that sent me an entry included each month.  If I don't hear from you by Friday, the contest will stand "as is". Thanks.

Get out there and find some water, people! It's hot out there and it will make you feel better, too.

  6. Oh my, I love these. I know exactly how hard it is to get good shots of birds. I'm especially fond of DJan's capture of a hovering hummingbird, and I like the lovely colors in Debbie's chickadee photo.

  7. To clarify the August theme for photo entries...you can enter a picture of EITHER a lake scene, river scene OR a creek scene...!! You don't have to enter a photo showing ALL of them.

  8. I just didn't get it together to send a pic to you, but based on these others, mine wouldn't have won, but I guess that isn't the point. I may just send it when I find it anyway, just for fun. We did get to see all four grand children the last two weeks, so that is where my time and energy went.
