Don't need much more than moisture, old wood and and a big pile of horse sh... to grow some quality mushrooms ;-) add some bright sunlight and you're almost sure to end up with a nice picture.
SmugMug > popular today > 11/27/09 - Bathing Tufted Titmouse
Before dinner yesterday, I put my camera on the tripod and used the self timer to take a picture of the family at the dinner table.  Despite being quite sick and not really able to taste what I was cooking, dinner turned out fine, and we enjoyed the meal with my dad.  After dinner, while I was cleaning up, a tufted titmouse went into the birdbath out my kitchen sink window and started to bathe himself.  With great luck, the camera was still on the tripod, so I moved it into position quick.  As it turns out, 3 separate tufted titmouses came to bathe one right after the other, and I got good pics of the second 2 in various stages of bathing.  

I have cropped this to show more detail and slightly bumped up the colors/contrast.  Many more of these birds some with water splashing about can be found here:

Sick or not, I'm off to shop!  It was touch and go, and I may not last long, but I'm headed out!

Thanks for your comment on our turkey day portrait.  The boys are always excited to be in my POTD.  I had intended to try to reshoot an even better shot, but after 5 days of clouds, I gave up and went with the one I'd already taken.

HAGD,
Maryann

*note - and so ends Photoshop week. I'm so behind in my dailies, because each one of these is so time consuming. Expect something different next week. So tempted to just do a ton of "lazy" shots to catch up. We'll see!

SmugMug > popular today > The sun is reflected in water droplets on fir tree needles; please look at this in the large size and you'll see the starbursts in all the water drops.  I took this shot a couple of months ago when we had our first bout of hoarfrost.  I dashed out the take photos, but the sun was melting the frost faster than I could capture it.  I ended up spending about two hours taking photos of water drops all over the garden and yard.  I remember being so excited that I forgot to get breakfast for my poor long-suffering hubby.  You all posted a lot of great images today.  I really enjoyed looking through them all.  It is amazing how much talent is here on smugmug.  I am constantly being inspired to try new things by all the creativity I see here.  So, thanks, everyone for being SUCH an inspiration!  Hope your day is lovely.  I know Dave is getting buried in snow again in Seattle.  I think we're all ready for winter to end.
