They have feeders set up at the calendar gardens, by the parking lot. So took a few on a cold day, used the Nikkor 70-300mm VR lens for this one.

Tomorrow I will be going to a invite only showing of the new hospital facility in town, and was able to take some guests with me.

Awhile back they had a contest of sorts where you could submit images, and if selected, they would have them mounted, and put them on display throughout the facility, and I was lucky to have 6 images selected, and because of that, I got that invite to the special preview of the hospital, and will be able to see my images,mounted by a professional, and on display throughout the facility. I also received a check in the mail for for all 6 of my images.

I feel honored that they selected them.

Thank you for your comments, I appreciate them.

Congratulations Tigz. That is quite an honor and your hard work has paid off for you.
I am curious as to what images were selected.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

----I was lucky to have 6 images selected----

This hasn't amazed me, Sandi. Congratulations, my friend.

It sounds strange when I say: "Have a wonderful day in the hospital", but in this case think you'll agree with me, lol.

Congratulations on having six images selected for the new hospital. I'm sure they'll brighten the place up and hopefully make the patients life a bit more pleasant and bearable.

Congratulations on having your photos chosen! What an honor and to get paid, as well!

This image of the woodie is cute. I like the blue, in contrast to all the earthy tones.

once again, congrats my friend! that truly is an honor.

I like this shot for the use of light, the shadows on its belly. remember what we talked about with metering? this is a perfect example where it can be apply. cant help but to wonder if this little birds get headaches :)
