Shooting some birdies

OK, my golf days are long behind me - and given the way I play that's probably a good thing.

Nowadays I'm lucky to get in one round of golf a year in a five-some playing in the Luc Gates Foundation Tournament.

Someday, I hope to resume my playing career, but for now I'll settle for shooting real birdies.

And not with a gun - not that there's anything wrong with shooting things with guns, mind you. Just not my cuppa tea.

Instead, I use a Canon, not a cannon, to shoot my birds - like these in the backyard today.

A chickadee, of course.

A chipping sparrow.

A Junco

Thanks goes for No. 1 daughter Molly for the ID-ing help and for suggesting we start feeding the little critters in the first place.

We had a ball watching them today - nice sometimes to take a break, listen to the small sounds around us and smell the roses, if you catch my meaning.

Take care.
