I was taking some photos of the yellow lines on a rotary washing drier for my rainbow colour theme for the Photo365 project and this female blackbird came and sat on the edge. Unprepared and interrupted I got a few snaps.

I went to a car boot sale this morning looking for old items for steam punk props. When I'd finished i took a few sneaky hipstamatic Up close candids. Four or five of my candids where actually looking right into the lens of the camera. I think they knew w
