Birds of a feather

Camera Critters

I think Guineas are some the ugliestly adorable birds.

And no, we haven’t had a huge thaw, these are some photos I had forgotten about, taken this past fall.

Beautiful eyes!

This fellow reminds me of an old guy with tufts of hair coming out of his ears.

And I don’t know why but this bird reminds me of my Great-Aunt Zelda.

Silky chickens are so soft and fancy looking but their eggs are fairly small.

Hello Mr Rooster!

And babies are cute no matter the species.

I guess even the ugly ones have the right to a good photographer to make them look good!! You surely have done them justice because they all look BEAUTIFUL!!

I love the little birds – and that is so funny that one reminds you of your Aunt Zelda as I see people and always think of the animals they look like but usually not the reverse. Cute and sweet pics. Thank you for sharing.

Hey, ugly is the new cute. Um, you better not come by my blog for a few days, especially after our last emails. Is there an icon for evil laugh>:

the one shot is reminiscent of the paintings of “royalty” in Europe back in the 1700s

love the fluffy hen on the 7th photo!… Aunt Zelda look-alike might be due to the stance, or just the general aura:)… it must be funny to hear the different “clucks” of these hens — an auditory feast!…

I enjoyed them all … have never seen a black & white rooster before! My sister and I went ‘birding’ at the wetlands yesterday so I’ll have photos to share in the days & weeks to come too.
Hugs and blessings,
