hey du birders . a question if i may ( in my best columbo voice )

[AllaN01Bear]

why is it always when one just spots a bird, it flys away?

1. So true makes it tough to get a photograph. You have to watch where it flies to

2. The same reason...

That every time you have a macro shot of a tiny wildflower lined up a breeze comes along and makes you wait ten minutes.

3. Bad karma.

I've been good lately, and birds have shown up on cue for sunsets, and great clouds today.

And a bluejay, normally a pain in the ass, posed for a photo today (thank goodness for GIMP, I cleaned up its pictorial mess). A very handsome bird.

I have less success with imgbb, which is suddenly shrinking my photos, so I am looking for a good (privacy-respecting?) host for show-off photos (so I can sell this rather picturesque property for lots of money) and also for the better ones, that I would like to sell for some income. It's not that I am greedy. After all, maybe I should get something back for the over 50 years of photography.
