It's the weekend and it's time for Saturday Critters and Caturday Pet Art. I'll start off with a Photoshopped image of Heidi's beautiful dog. I made a layer and inverted the colors and then tried different blending modes until I found something I like.
Next we have a trail cam picture of a flock of starlings flying around.
Next is a photo I took today from a parking lot where I spotted a hawk. I took a picture through my windshield because I was afraid the bird would take off, and sure enough it took flight before I got my window rolled down. I did get one shot of it in flight, not a very sharp one because I was hurrying and so was he!

Hello Virginia ~ from neighboring Maryland! Lovely here ... glad to meet you ... and we'll likely be back as we love the Shenandoah, "photoshopping" and especially bird watching.
ReplyDeleteOh boy...a camera in the trees....I would love to have this...if only I had lots of land to record the wildlife. Love your birds you saw. That hawk is a treasure.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing with us at I'd Rather B Birdin'.
Hello, love teh artsy dog image. It is nice to have a cam taking photos of your yard birds. We have a lot of the vultures here too. Love the Hawk and Cardinal, great sightings. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Enjoy your day, wishing you a great new week ahead. PS, thank you for the visit and comment.
ReplyDeleteThat's a tree-full of vultures! They're not very pretty birds, but they soar and glide wonderfully.
ReplyDeleteHello Linda. An artsy dog is great. The Cardinal is so red that it appears well.
ReplyDeletePhotoshop effect is good!
ReplyDeletea beautiful dog and i really like what you did with the image!! i have never used photoshop!! i can see the red cardinal and that is a very pretty image. enjoy your sunday!!
ReplyDeleteI like the edits on your husky photo. Yeah, birds are so hard to photograph. You really have to be fast to capture them, they fly off so quickly.
ReplyDeleteI am thankful for the Vultures! What if all the road kill they clean up was still there. The air would be stinky without Vultures!
ReplyDeleteLove Hawks! They usually fly when I stop, too! Sometimes I can get a photo from a distance using my zoom lens.
Have a blessed day
Love the art!
ReplyDeleteWhat a friendly face.
ReplyDeletevultures are great silhouettes, and, sure, you can´t miss the red spot in the tree :)
ReplyDeleteLove the artsy photograph.
ReplyDeleteThat cardinal is great …
All the best Jan
I love that bright red color of the cardinal. So cheery!
