Easily distracted...

Whilst I've been unable to use the computer on a regular basis this past week, due to frustrating technical problems, I have managed to distract myself in other ways.

Come for a walk with me to see how easily I'm distracted... especially from daily tasks.

I love to take photos of birds.

Last year when I was visiting Busselton, I bought a book about birds with the intention of learning their identities, but decided that it was distracting me from just simply watching and enjoying them.
They don't seem to mind that I don't know their given names.





I especially like to try and capture birds with their wings outstretched.



I happily snap away at these beautiful creatures almost everyday and unfortunately rarely getting a pleasing shot.
Apart from the numerous failures I very much enjoy trying to photograph them.


I like this one.

I have got into the habit of not leaving home for a walk without the digital camera. Once upon a time I never thought that I would swap to digital, but it does allow me to be snap happy.

This is just a car that I thought would be fun for a joy ride.

I did say that I was easily distracted.

Across from the car were some dogs waiting patiently at a bus stop outside a popular seaside cafe. I'm assuming that they weren't waiting for a bus as public transport in this city isn't the best.

Now back to birds...

Recently when I've been walking along here I've spotted some beautiful birds that I have rarely seen.

I managed to photograph one of them.

It's a beautiful small sea hawk.

I look out for them now whenever I'm out walking, but rarely do I see them and when I do I never seem to be able to capture them with my camera.

When I grow up I'm going to get a zoom lens!

on another note...

The below photograph is a hilltop view of my suburb.

I've had a fun time framing these photos online over at Picnik which is another wonderful distraction.

If you drive down here and turn right you're at my place near the sea.

Thank you for joining me on this walkabout.

For those of you who will be celebrating Mothers Day I wish you a joyful one.

To everyone else have a wonderful fun loving distracted weekend.

See you soon

best wishes
