I have been asked where my posts are,
so I feel like I need to say something. I was slowed down for a bit because of my injured thumb, but there is also regular life with a job with sometimes crazy work hours, a kitty and husband to love up, a garden to maintain and other hobbies that I like to spend time with too. A day sadly has only 24 hours. I put the photo setups out every day but during busy work days I am not always in the mood to process them all at the end of the day, and just put the SD card to the side for when I have time and the right mood. Each card carries around 20k photos, and processing is not just going through the photos to pick out the good ones and formatting the cards, I then also edit them, add my watermarks and then compile captions for seven social media platforms, Youtube and my website. And sometimes I just want to relax at the end of the day. Another thing is, I have been doing this since 2016 now, and I try to stay fresh and unique in my approach and avoid repetition, so maybe I am a bit more picky and selective nowadays, and I want this to be fun for myself too. Yesterday, I finally caught up, and I also had time to edit some photos.
I have not posted Blue Jays in a while. I loved these three because of the evening light and the feather detail. As you can see in the last one, molting is already under way. I am expecting to see the youngsters any day now.
