I haven't officially met Richard Weisser of Coweta Fayette Real Estate -but I've read his blogging for some time now. One of the best things about his 
blogs are his photographs,
from what I can tell he takes all himself. I catch myself reading his blogs because initially I just want to see the latest pictures posted! They are really great pics.
That's the sign of some really great blogging and a great way to get subscribers to your blog. I suppose a funny (truly funny) daily joke might get me there just as well. Of course once people have found their way to your blog, you have to bring the topic and writing relevance to keep them there.
So in celebration of Richard and his indirect teachings on blogging, as well as the beautiful fall leaves dropping, bringing the wildlife more into view, this week I am going to blog on pictures I have personally taken of birds in my back yard. I thought my brother was a weirdo taking pics of birds, until I moved a year and a half ago and got the bug myself.
These are various woodpeckers. I've seen a downy, hairy, red-bellied, and a northern flicker, which is possibly my favorite. There are a few more around here I've yet to photograph.
As you start to watch you can begin to recognize male and female, and even juevenile, which sometimes look nothing like their adult buddies. I guess its time to get the tripod out and a fresh, clean SD card ... by the way, all of these photos were edited and cropped at Picnik, a really great picture editing site. I didn't change any coloring, just cropped, added border and my name.
