All the photos in this entry were taken with the Fuji camera.<br/><br/>I like both cameras for their ability to be used for both digiscoping and for their macro functions.

I like both cameras for their ability to be used for both digiscoping and for their macro functions. Between the two, the Nikon’s macro shots are better, but it’s a futzier camera.

May I ask what camera you use? I assume it's a digital... Is it the same camera for the macro shots as well as the birds and others? Do you use any special lenses for getting close-ups of the birds? I apologize for being so nosy but I'll be getting a new camera soon and the pics you take would be about the same kind I'd take, so I figured it couldn't hurt to ask! ^_^ Thanks in advance!

I love that little spread-eagled guy on the feeder, too, from a few posts back.<br/><br/>I'm mesmerised by the pattern on the inside of that hen-stem. Well, okay, that may be overstating it a little. But it's pretty cool! :) You take the best nuthatch pictures. I love that little spread-eagled guy on the feeder, too, from a few posts back.

There will be lots of good eats there throughout the winter.<br/><br/>I see Cabal the great white guard dog was on patrol too, looking out for bears and squirrels no doubt.<br/><br/>The inside of the inky cap photo is cool.<br/><br/>Do you ever do mushroom spore prints? It's where you place the cap on paper with the gills down and cover it with a bowl to protect the works from any slight breeze. Just let the cap sit for awhile until the spores fall down onto the paper. Then you carefully remove the cap and spray the print from a good distance with varnish or hairspray. Easy art!
