Funky Fotos

.I enjoy taking photos of birds. But it can be frustrating. For example, it's frustrating when you get a bird nicely composed in the viewfinder and are just starting to take the photo when the bird suddenly flies off. When this happens, you are often left with a photo of an empty branch - the branch where there had been a bird a millisecond earlier. And sometimes you're left with a picture of a totally unrecognizable blur.

Yesterday I was going through my photo files deleting bad or duplicated pictures. As I was doing so, I found a few photos that I liked even though the birds in them had moved when I was photographing them. In some photos, the bird is still easily recognizable. In others, the image has become almost abstract.

Here are the photos. See what you think of them.
