Twice this weekend I need to be sneaky and not seen in order to get a couple of pictures I wanted. Both were taken mostly out of curiosity and my need to know.
I saw a guy walking up the road wearing a backpack and carrying two garbage bags. Around here, that is usually a sign that someone was kicked out. I grabbed my camera with the zoom lens and took this picture from my couch (through the window) to see what I could see. It just happened to be a guy who always carries around his backpack and in those two garbage bags were returnable cans.
The next picture I had to sneak and get was of a different type of bird that was feeding outside. Again, I grabbed my camera with the zoom lens, snuck around the dining room table and, through the window, got the picture I wanted. Ken and I looked up on the internet what kind of bird it is… a downy woodpecker. You can’t tell from this angle but it has a red patch on the back of it’s head which indicates it is a male.
Not bad considering there were both taken through the window!!
