Wordless Wednesday #48~ Springing Birds

From my backyard.  Actually most from my couch!
 
 Using Mr. G's new little Power Shot SX260 HS 20X IS Canon Camera.  It zooms in much closer than my DSL Nikon and I don't have to constantly switch lenses or return the cap to the lens.  However, it's so small, it's hard for me to hold steady for the big zoom in pics.

 Only a couple of these did I have to unsharp with Gimp.

  2. Can't believe you managed such beautiful captures with a little power shot. Impressive! Those yellow birds really pop against the grey-ish sky. Thanks so much for joining our first week of the Spring Photo Challenge! Friday we move onto Turquoise/Splash! :)

  4. Geez, I was saving for a DSL zoom lense, maybe a power shot is a better option!
