An Artsy Husky and Birds in Trees.

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. 

It's also time for Black and White Weekend and the Bird Depot. These are vultures at Blandy. We have plenty of them in my neighborhood too. My husband doesn't like them but I like watching them soar!

Next we have a trail cam picture of a flock of starlings flying around.

The same trail cam caught me breaking off some small branches. Branches like these will set off the motion detector, giving me way too many pictures of blowing branches. I'm holding glasses in my hand because I had just put the card back in the camera and I needed glasses in order to read the menu and delete the old images.

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!

Then I looked to the right and saw a red cardinal in a tree. Can you see him?
