This is a small section of our front window sill where we keep our little collection of ornamental glass birds to catch the sunlight. These are five of the thirteen in our incomplete collection of handmade glass birds by the very talented Tasmanian artist James Dodson (sadly retired last year and no longer making these beauties). They measure around 2 inches on average. Here, from left to right, we have a galah, a New Holland honeyeater, a rosella, a sulphur crested cockatoo, and a gang-gang cockatoo.
It is amazing how often the real birds fly into the window ledge and hop along to stare in at our colourful little collection!
Even though these are ornaments, I hope they still qualify for the Wing Wednesday group!!
Happy Wing Wednesday!

A Buff Tailed Bumble Bee.
While having a short walk around the car park this morning, sadly not nice enough to go further, I found this Bumble Bee on the office (for the cemetery) window ledge.
Not wanting to miss out on a good thing I got in for some close ups. This was as close as I got. Camera set for super macro and I reduced the screen size by two.
Much more fun viewed large.

Thank you for your favourites. :O)
Walking through Marchmont when I noticed a woman using her window ledge on her tenement as an improvised balcony to get some fresh air without leaving the house. Lockdown improvisation!
Black-billed Magpie / pica pica. Private site, Derbyshire. 23/09/15.
One of the residents at the site I visit. Always around somewhere in the background and never missing a trick.
I took this picture with my phone as my camera was upstairs and didn't want to risk taking a pic of a dead butterfly.Millie looked at it for a minute then tried to play "volleyball " with it so I put it on the windowledge where she couldn't reach and hopefully saved its life :-)
THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS AND FAVES!!
Britney (on the window ledge) & Richard (on the big wooden table) are on the veranda. I was inside home.
The strong sun burnt the grass of the yards.

Next week's subject is "Back-lighting". Capture something in front of its light source. If your subject is translucent, then have your light source illuminate it from behind so that it appears to glow from within.
East Riddlesden Hall
The hall was built in 1642, most of the items of furniture in the rooms date from this period. In order to protect the contents of the rooms they are kept deliberately dark, many having curtains drawn to stop the sunlight entering.
This room on the second floor was originally the Lady’s Chamber. Although a little lighter than the others it is still quite dark, the only light entering being from the sun. On the 17th century table are laid out some items which are contemporary with the period, and some which are not. The rag rug for example, although new, would have been very popular when the house was built, to cover the wooden floors. I think the plastic clip top box is most certainly 21st century.
I’ve left the photo dark on purpose, as this was the scene as I took the shot, with the shafts of sunshine just lighting some of the stonework, patches of sewing and furniture.
Thank you for your visit and your comments, they are greatly appreciated.
I noticed the chicken at the end of the ledge; (following photo in my stream), or:

before I really looked at the window. Knew I was short of spare window photos for the Window Wednesday Group so quickly took a shot while I had it in mind.
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites. :O)

September 2017
So today has been a pretty wet and windy day. Snow was on heavily for a while and I'm glad to be indoors. I was away recording last week with my band in Aberdeen and got back on Saturday night at 7pm. I then had to leave the house at 7:20pm to make my way to a wedding reception to take photos.
The past 3 days have been spent editing said wedding reception photos, photos from the wedding 3 weeks prior to the reception, a friends band photos and photos from my week away.
This ship in a bottle belonged to my Grandfather. He sadly passed away when I was 3 or 4. I remember playing with it when I was a kid, and also a mini globe with a sharpner on the bottom. These are some of my earliest memories and I remember enjoying playing with loads of nautical themed things. I got this not long ago from my mum, as they had cleared out my grans house when she died. I love it and I will pass it on to my kids one day.

I don't seem to have got out much recently to take photos. It is so lovely today that the sun is shining but there are some jobs to catch up with. At least the washing will dry!
Saturday Self Challenge
Our next challenge will be to photograph the view out of a window using the window as a frame for the picture. Minor post-processing such as lighting, contrast or cropping adjustment is acceptable.
I’m standing in the Great Hall in Burton Agnes Hall. The Hall was built between 1598 and 1610 by Sir Henry Griffith, who was master mason to Queen Elizabeth I (1533 - 1603). The Griffith family have lived here for over 400 years. Simon and Olivia and their 5 young children occupy the rooms which are not open to the public. The house and Gardens are now looked after and managed by a charity called the Burton Agnes Hall Preservation Trust.
The view though this window looks roughly down the main driveway, across the lawns towards the gatehouse in the distance, which is of the same period as the main house. The carved figure just outside the window on the right is I believe a goat. To the left just visible on the grass are some modern sculptures of a family of ducks. Behind the hedgerow which is visible centre left is a magnificent walled garden, full of flowers, vegetables, fruit trees, a maze, walkways and sculptures.
This is one of several pictures taken for the challenge, I was undecided which one to post, another one will follow soon.
I’ve added a photo of the Hall in the comments, so you can work out which window I took the shot from.
Thank you for your visit and your comments, they are greatly appreciated.
A happy cat sitting on its window ledge enjoying the early sunshine. Though it was checking me out!

The tulips at that perfect place
crane their necks with liquid grace
like swans who circling, collide
within the lake this vase provides.

I like this Lenoirr texture so much, I had to use it again. She has an amazing collection of textures -- you've got to check them out!

I also used several Florabella textures (Antique - cool, Platinum - cool) and Florabella's Pure Milk overlay.
I bought this little teddy bear Christmas ornament today. I just loved his little knitted red sweater and matching hat. He's hanging from our tree now, looking very happy! :-)
robins nesting on my window ledge
this photo was taken from behind the glass, and she was not able see me.
We use this as a window stop!
