Back in the day & a bit of nature

[Sheriliz]

I am hit and miss around here these days. My daughter is having a difficult pregnancy and I am keeping my little grandson.

This is not too impressive now; but this WELCOME sign located in a small Texas town is rumored to have been the inspiration for the famous HOLLYWOOD sign.



This is one of the hotels that catured to the rich and famous; back in "the day"


Looking at the photos taken here, I am learning to "look closer" and I found this shy little guy



I don't know how so many of you get the birds to pose so nicely for your shots...all I captured was this guys back.

Very nice set Sheriliz... Love the lizard shot the most. Food works pretty good to keep the birds around... LOL, just like guys.

Great series of shots. Interesting on the Welcome sigh. I think Fred's advice is the best. I took so many gull shots the other day and all I got were bird bum's. The one I got a face shot of was on the ground trying to steal some of my fruit.

I've been feeding them dried bread; guess I'll add bird seed to my grocery list! The lizard is the best in my mind. I just thought the others were interesting info.

Nice work Sheriliz. Thank you for the history of the "Holywood" sign. Now I know its origin haha. I like the lizard shot too. It blends well in the environment. Thanks for sharing!
