Art Hill > June 9, 2009 Sad fate
I'm sad to say I won't be shooting any more pictures of this little trio. Yesterday afternoon my wife heard quite a ruckus outside out front door - sounded like a loud crow and lots of other birds. She went out to investigate and spotted an enormous crow in our tree right by the robins nest.  The crow flew away when she went out on the deck but there are no more baby robins. She called me and by the time I got out there the crow was high up in another tree watching us.  Several robins began to fly around the crow so it took off.  Largest crow I've ever seen.
We are so bummed - it had been a lot of fun watching these little birds develop.
I got a couple more here

Not very original but nothing says Britain to me like Big Ben and a double decker bus

No crop, this is as close as I can get.

I've got nothing from yesterday to post.  It's raining and miserable. I went back to my London pictures to show you some of what we ate while we were there.
Have a great weekend.
Thanks for all the wonderful comments on my Chicago bridge pictures.

Update: To address Duane's question, I used AutoCollage a little known product from Microsoft. It just takes a bunch of pictures and puts them together like this automatically.

Art Hill > October 28, 2009 I'm not much of a bird photographer. Caught these in my daughter's backyard. These birds were moving constantly and very skittish so I coudln't get close. I got a couple more -  http://arthill.smugmug.com/gallery/6176204_qFVRt//#403563354_sh4i3-A-LB and - http://arthill.smugmug.com/gallery/6176204_qFVRt//#403563354_sh4i3-A-LB
Art Hill > November 1, 2009 Halloween
We got to see all four grandkids by going to Kyle and Braden's and then over to Lindsey and Scarlett's.  Kyle and Lindsey both seemed much better by late in the day.  It was cold and windy but at least no rain.

Thanks for the fantastic response to my pumpkin shot yesterday. It moved to #14 on my most popular photo list. You can see that two-pumpkin guy with a black hat on in the upper right.

We took Kyle and Lindsey to a little nature center in Oak Brook. It was a gloomy day with no sun so the only thing I got worth posting was this reflection of the buildings in the little nature center lake/pond.
(Buildings are at the northwest corner of Route 83 and Butterfield. Ditkas Restaurant in one of them)
