Backyard Visitor (MOC12 Day 12 Everything Connected)

It makes my heart so happy to see that you received your sign. You have captured this so beautifully, Christa. Amazing photography, and the colors you have used showcase your photos to perfection. Such a striking page. Love this so much! Congratulations! Your page is a Froggy Favorite.

@JenEm oh Jen thank you so much for your sweet comments and the froggy favorite!! I couldn't believe it. My husband said the bird is here and then i even had to switch batteries in my camera lol she sat there for 20 minutes!! Big hugs!

this is just stunning! I love the colors you chose to highlight those amazing photos of the owl!!!

Wow! Awesome photos! Love the Cooper's hawk.

Goodness me, LOVE the photos here as well. Wow, Super. And in the backyard, simply amazing!

Wow! Do you have a long lens or did it let you get close? You did it justice with your beautiful scrapping. Someday I'd like to capture a bird with my camera but so far I only have a lot of photos of birds flying away. It'll be a long time now because I've given up using my DSLR, but someday I might get back into photography.

@Pachimac thanks Susie!

@mcurtt Thanks Marilyn!!! So thankful for that canon powershot 740!

@StefanieS thank you Stefanie.. yes this one is a frequent visitor but lately has just been a fly through. I was glad to see it visiting without eating that low in the yard

@michelepixels Michele, thank you for your comments The Coopers Hawk was about 20 feet away. (Our backyard is not deep.) I took this through the window using my Canon Powershot SX740 HS .. It has up to a 40X zoom on the pocket camera, but I don't think I zoomed fully. I was lucky it was "resting" or looking for some thing to catch but was there for 20 minutes so I was able to catch some good photos.. sometimes it is too quick for me to photograph. Thank you for your comments. I loved making this page after taking the pictures!
