Another quick post. Needed a few minutes to take the weight of the world of my shoulders and unwind.
These are painted on the outside wall of a United States Post Office contractor office . . . Like a regular post office but not.
In the two years and six months we’ve been here, I’ve only photographed one of those and that was only a few months ago.
Let me tell you . . . Slim pickings when it comes to bird photography.
Unless you go in the middle of nowhere. That’s where the birds hang out; in the middle of nowhere.
That’s a nice collection of…birds that you haven’t photographed…..

Thank you, Scott.
I photographed the drawings with the idea I could try my hand at duplicating them once I get serious about drawing.

Thank you. I liked the simplicity of them and appreciated the inclusion of the Hawaiʻian names.

Yup . . . I just wish I knew how they got them to pose long enough to paint the pictures.
Most birds I see around here are on some sort of amphetamines; they don’t stand still longer than a fraction of a second.

Probably took a photo and then painted from the print.

OK . . . I wish I knew how they got them to pose long enough to snap a photo.

Glad these birds could be found at the PO CO for you to photograph!
They are beautiful and have an air of peace about them. But I imagine the real birdies do flit around too fast to shoot! (You know, with a camera!)
HUGS!!! 🙂

With most guns, even, except maybe a shotgun.
. . . not that I’d use one . . .
Thanks, Carolyn.

They’re BEAUTIFUL! And having the Hawai’ian names is a great idea . . . setting out to memorize them would be a great mental exercise . . . and achievement!

I gave up learning the language here when I realized that even the natives don’t all agree on pronunciation. Plus, I have a vowel limit rule . . . more than 75% vowels and I’m outta there.

Thank you. I mean, I just pressed the shutter, but I did have to frame the photos.
Second try at them, but I got them right this time.
