I don’t go out looking for pictures. I go out, and if something catches my eye, that’s reason enough to photograph it.

I feel the same way as Wessel. The camera is draped around my neck and waits patiently for something to invade my eye.
If you go out with a camera and don’t find something to photograph, you are walking with your eyes or your mind closed. You don’t always make a great photograph, but looking at things, and trying different compositions through the rectangular boundaries of the viewfinder help you appreciate shape, form and color. These birds are a fine example of that idea.
Did you count them? I like the quote… and the photo!
yes, i actually did count them : – )
Je fais la même chose.
Ici une très belle prise. )
Je comprends très bien la raison de ta démarche.
L’occasion d’une belle image en tout cas.
how perfect! Yes, and even the ordinary can be extraordinary. Lovely photo Sherri.
That quote makes sense to me. I always have my camera with me, and never know what I will come back with. Are your birds starlings?
I wonder what the attraction is that so many birds would gather in one place.
i remember some stephen king story that said when sparrows gather like that, it’s to take the soul of a recently departed to heaven… and when my husband’s father died, we were driving on the road and saw a TON of birds on the wires…. this is a beautiful picture, sister
Great capture of the birds .
Thanks for all your comments. I have finally found my way here 🙂 It would be so much easier if you joined Aminus but I can see why you are here. A lovely selection
Me too, that’s why I always have a small camera with me ; -0
Une très belle composition !!! j’aime !!!
It is always good to carry a camera – you never get the same image twice.
I suspect I would have counted the birds too 🙂
I love cell phones for this reason. I always have a camera when something catches my eye. I love this view of so many birds hanging out! It is a delightful silhouette.
Hitchcock comes to mind Sherri!
take it to greyscale, add sinister music and voilà, Hitchcock !
A very crowded condominium.
Sometimes I regret leaving my camera home, true image must capture the eye, but you must also be able to capture it.
this brings back memories of The Birds (1963) is a Alfred Hitchcock thriller Sherri….peter:)
A lovely gathering of feathered friends.
You counted them, eh?
Birds benefit by flocking together, so why can’t people see the benefits of cooperation? Lovely photo of power lines and birds.
Fantastique concentration d’oisesus sur les files et en arrivee sueprbe
Belle soiree
A lot of birds are photographed here, well done.
I always take my camera with me everywhere I go. I love seeing the birds sitting all together. It is like they are having a conference.
I’m so glad you’re still photoblogging Sherri, I’ve been out of the loop for a few years.
Great saying by Henry! Looks like this is popular real estate for the birds.
🙂 Good catch.
