Bron's Photoblog
rainbows in the grass
Posted by Bron (Canberra, Australia) on 1 September 2007 in Cityscape & Urban and Portfolio.
I'm sure these (introduced) birds are found worldwide. Many walk past them, annoyed at how they foul the buildings but I decided a fresh look was needed! (there I go, lying down in public again!! lol)
Family matters are taking lots of time at the moment, so I'm going to take a photo break for a while. I'll be back when I can!! Take good photos friends!! I'll look forward to having a look at what you all do! Big cheers Bron :)) Thanks to everyone who's commented since I got back from Adelaide. Bye!!!

Pigeons make good shots due to their colours Bron. Have a good rest and hope to see more of your fab shots when you return.

I always thought the irridescent colors on pigeons was amazingly simple but pretty. Nice way to put it together visually.

I think this is a fantastic shot, Bron. And not the sort that we see everyday at all! They almost look like beautifully carved and coloured statues to me!! :) Trust you will keep well, and will look forward to (to borrow billy's words*-) ) seeing you when we see you :-)

You did present them in a most pleasant light here.

I agree. I have had chronic fatigue for 11 years and am mostly well nowdays but have had a (small) relapse. Stress and doing too much....So I need to pull back, take care and go much more slowly. . Thanks for your kind concerm. I'll come back in as I improve. Have fun taking those photos! cheers Bron
@m: Thanks so much m! cheers Bron

I just got back in time to see you go - but I love this picture - I take lots of photos of birds and small animals that people think are pests around home - and its amazing how I've learned their habits. I loved your blog so much I have put a link on the aminus3 members forum - check it out when you get back - hope your family matters go well - take care! :-)
