This is our Spanish Dagger. It has some winter damage and is ready for a springtime cleanup.

This little guy doesn’t agree with me.

I think he is a Sparrow.

He (she?) was gathering plant material and bringing it into the overgrown dead daggers to build a nest.

You know, I was thinking that this Christmas I needed to ask Santa for a better telephoto lens but now I’m not too sure about that. I was quite a distance from the Spanish Dagger and I think these photos are pretty good, don’t you?

I think we will wait a little while before trimming this plant.

    I’m pretty happy with this camera. It kind of disappoints me that it won’t fit in my purse and I actually have to change lenses to do anything telephoto but other than that I love it. Maybe I’ll actually have to learn a few things about taking pictures now. :)

    Terrific photos. I have got to make myself buy my new camera. I’ve been saving and I just can’t make myself spend the money. Go figure.

    I’ve been enjoying all of the great nature photos, Chia. I love nature & it has been fun to see what is in your backyard. So different from mine.

    I’m so glad to hear that people are enjoying these photos. I’ve loved taking them. I just wish I had a bigger yard with more things happening in it. :)
