Cobweb Heart - Crappy Photo!


When I used the flash, the heart disappeared.
When I didn't, I could see the heart ... out of focus in the gloom ... but still a heart!

So I have to classify this as a CRAPPY PHOTO.
Or IS it?????

To see hearts from around the world, visit "Random Hearts" - and share YOUR heart on "Guest Heart Thursday"!

Herb Robert Flower, Crappy Photo!


I was trying to capture the delicate beauty of the (dreaded) Herb Robert flower before I pulled up this highly invasive plant.

And while the flower part of the photo is CRAPPY, the background turned out sharp and interesting in its own way!!!

(If you click on the photo to enlarge, you will better see what I mean)

Bird on a Fence

They had a ground-breaking over at the housing development just up the street ... they're putting in a community recreation area. This is some of the first construction activity I've seen over there in several years. Much of the property still shows signs of the original "master planned" community that was to be ... like fenced in tree patches that were to be saved from construction ...

There really is a scrub jay in the middle of this shot ...
Apparently it didn't like it's picture being taken and jumped behind the tree leaves at the last second!

So ... even though it's a CRAPPY PHOTO of the bird, it's still a great picture of the patterns in the "seen better days" fence.

It's time for "Friday Fences"!!!

Nice Story - CRAPPY Photo

I must have walked too close to the nest of the tiny hummingbird ...
Or maybe curiosity of the stranger in its world overcame him ...

Because suddenly he appeared - in my face.
When I say "in my face", I mean seriously up close and personal.
For a moment I thought this cutie was going to start pecking my glasses!

I stood in awe and amazement as the little bird hovered for a moment, then flitted to a nearby branch.
That's when I dared to move my camera ...
But wouldn't you know it - the one picture I was "allowed" to take ...
Turned out to be a CRAPPY photo!!!
