Monday, Monday

Hi Lorell; nice photos.

And “Hi” to those who come along later.

The 2 baby hummers are developing, and the pace of their development will increase dramatically in the next week or so. Mama seems to have gotten things down to an efficient routine – I seldom see her on the nest (away gathering nourishment, or maybe just taking a break from her child-rearing labors).

This morning I noticed that at least one of the nestlings had opened its eyes; all too soon, they’ll be on their way to start their own independent lives.

Here’s one photo from this morning (another in the separate Hummingbird thread that show one with eyes open) – other than cropping, it’s 100% SOOTC…

Hope you all are having or had a great Monday.

Here is a re-visit to the Cenotaph. I Plotted my image – using a Magnifying Glass and the third lines of my cam screen boxes. I used the box right in the middle of the screen to place my bottom of the bench legs in the bottom left corner of the Middle Box I call box #5 – but still inside box #5.
On the P C I used the same Middle Box #5 the same way as I cropped my image.
There are three rows of 3 boxes each – Vertical or Horizontal – as everyone knows – to work with this way and in the Crop Tool on the P C. It has some very accurate possibilities in composing an image.

I had problems with the auto uploader this morn for some reason.
