Goldfinch, leaving

Gonna bury you in birds this morning!

The light was gorgeous a year ago, and I gave my cameras a workout. For 300 Snaps I tried to get a bird-in-flight photo--which means I kept snapping until the bird moved, over and over.

This pic worked out nicely. So did the 366 Snaps photo.

And, just incidentally, I got a bunch of good songbird portraits. Including another of this bird.

This photograph is an outtake from my 2012 photo-a-day project, 366 Snaps.

Number of project photos taken: 197
Title of "roll:" Birds, mostly [wasn't that yesterday's title?]
Other photos taken on 5/17/2012: The "daily flower census" mostly consisted of bird photos (here's one), but showed a garden coming into its glory with Spirea (of course), Iris, Painted Daisies, Snow on the Mountain's spindly flowers, and the Columbine.

Joan and I went out for supper. We returned to a neighborhood littered with emergency vehicles.
