Me, or the camera?

If you enlarge this photo then look very carefully you'll be able to make out the little flock of sparrows which had gathered for breakfast, perched precariously on the tall seedheads, waving about in the breeze. They must have been there when the dogs were out (they have no access to that part of the garden) and also my husband who had been smoking outside the back door. He told me to come and see them. I ran to fetch the camera and quietly shut the dogs in the kitchen.
Whenever I went outside, (like a mouse!) with the zoomed camera they became restless and almost immediately flew off, never to return...well, not to-day. Hence some rather blurred sparrows! Was it me...or the camera?

.....or birds in motion??? Never the less, it was a great picture. Here on the Ponderosa I'm always seein' those Kodak moments but by the time I go grab the camera, the critters flee the scene!!!

God bless ya and have a marvelous day!!!
