Budgies At The Zoo
This past Sunday, my youngest son and I decided to go to our local zoo. We especially wanted to visit the budgie exhibit.
We got in the car and drove the 45 minutes to the zoo. Paid our entry fees and bought some budgie sticks…little sticks with bird seed on them.
We made our way around the park with our cameras taking pictures along the way. Eventually we made it to the budgie exhibit. We opened the door and went through the sheets of heavy plastic that hang at the entrance and exit to keep the budgies from escaping. Several of the birds immediately landed on us looking for food. When we brought out the budgie sticks, we were MOBBED! I couldn’t stop laughing. They are such colorful and entertaining little birds.
Here’s some pics of these little critters.

PHOTOGRAPHY: I love taking pictures. This all started when I was a kid. I had the infamous Kodak 110 and the Polaroid “shoot the picture out, coat with preservative” type, and 35mm Canon. Then I discovered digital. WOW! is all I can say. My first digital was a Kodak 2.5 megapixel. It was great for its time. Since then I have advanced some, currently owning a Kodak 10.1 megapixel camera with a wonderful zoom lens on it. I love being able to “see” my pictures BEFORE I print them and know that they are in the camera. Even though the 35mm was versitile, I didn’t know until the film was developed whether or not a particular picture was going to be good or not, or if the camera was working properly, etc. That can be a bummer if you’ve gone on vacation with a non-functioning 35mm and you don’t know it until you get back home.
KNITTING AND CROCHETING: Knitting is one of my most favorite things to do in addition to taking pictures.
SOFT SCULPTURED DOLLS I love sewing dolls or soft sculptured animals. They are just fun to create. Most of the time they never come out just like the photo on the pattern, but that makes them unique.
