Nesting Season

I'm not as discipline  in posting as I used to be, and it seems like I'm catching up in posting my photos.  Some of these photos were taken almost three weeks ago,  but I guess posting it late is better than never. It's nesting season for the birds in our area, this mother Robin built…

Ross’s Graduation Party

I went to Ross's graduation party on Saturday, he recently graduated from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. I decided to pack light and only brought my 50mm lens, it's great for indoor with low lighting and food photography. The foods were delicious and my only problem was that I have  recently developed food…

Birds of a feather flock together

Click here to view this video on YouTube I have not blogged about my dad and sister's birds in a while.  The number of the lovebirds more than triple in the last 6 months. My sister used to have 2 lovebirds and the yellow one was named Lily by Lee, and now all the lovebirds…

Saturday Random Photos

It has been raining here lately and it's actually good for the plants and air, with everything blooming we do have high pollen counts and hopefully this will wash all the pollen dust in the air. My dad has a chance to use his fireplace also. I had a bamboo shoot soup for lunch yesterday,…

Spring Fever

These lovebirds are real funny to watch sometimes, I still can't tell if they are male or female. The phrase "it's a jungle out there" has a new meaning at my dad's house, literally it sounds like you are in the jungle when you are around these birds. They are a joy to be around.…

Saturday Random Photos

It has been 6 weeks since I started using my Ab Coaster and I finally added 10 pounds (4.54 kg) to each side last week, my GI Joe sister does 15 pounds on each side but I'm not sure if I want to increase that much. I gradually increase my workout and can do 1,000…

A New Bird Cage

This should be a happy moment for everyone, including the birds but it didn't turn out that way.  I guess things happened for a reason, and might be to teach us a lesson that we shouldn't be too careless but the price that we have to pay is dearly. I went by my dad's house…

Saturday Random Photos

I’m testing out my new telephoto zoom lens and hope to put this into good use in the near future.  This is slightly longer than my old lens, but a lot lighter also. It’s the EF70-200mm f/4L USM, one thing that’s missing is the IS (Image Stabilizer) which cost $600 more that I couldn't afford…

Lovebirds and Parakeet

I took these pictures last weekend and  my second sister's Lovebirds have grown.  They are about 5 or 6 month old now and it's hard to tell if they are male or female. According to Wikipedia, determining Lovebird sex is difficult. At maturity of one year, it may show signs of whether it is male…
