House Sparrow on the Feeder

Just a reminder that although I had the D300 set to take monochrome photographs all of last year, my software ignores the "mono" flag in the NEF file (NEF is Nikon's Camera RAW format). As I've said before, B&W is partially an attitude.

Through the viewfinder this photograph was almost entirely shades of green (Facebook link). And quite glorious.

This photograph is an outtake from my 2012 photo-a-day project, 366 Snaps.

Number of project photos taken: 19 [see? 15's enough, despite recent practice]
Title of "roll:" Birds
Other photos taken on 5/19/2012: We were working in our yard a year ago--I've photos of Joan hard at work in the veggie garden, of my little tractor pulling its little trailer, of new-purchased plants. The Daily Flower Census found Cranesbill and Painted Daisies and Dames Rocket and Snow on the Mountain and Irises. Lots of Irises. And (wait for it) Spirea.
