Looking out the living room window



We were slumped in various locations around the living room, comfortable in our Sunday chairs, like so many limp vegetables when Alan spotted a white-tail buck (8-point, or so mr. bright-eyes says) and two does in the overgrown horse pasture just outside. They were a good 800 feet away, so even though we could see them quite clearly, we had little hope of getting good pictures. Kind of frustrating, since we love to share.

Then the kid had the inspired idea of lining the lense of the digital camera up with the lense on the Bushnell birdwatching binoculars....and amazingly, hey, presto, pretty deer pictures!

Smart boy, I think I'll keep him.

    Thanks, Mrs. M, nice to see you out and about. I have missed Mohawk Valley View, although I certainly understand about being busy!

    Hi numberwise and thanks.

    Hello rhea and thanks for stopping by. This trio likes to hang around the house and play with the horses. Unfortunatly they bring along their deer ticks.

    I wonder if that would work with my brother's cartoon character binocs (they are huge--not sure what power, but you can see the craters on the moon very clearly). I will give it a whirl and see. Thanks for the great idea.

    Good photos. I've tried that trick a few times and know how difficult it is to get everything lined up. (Well, it is for me anyway.)

    Hi cubby, I couldn't believe it either, but you can bet I am going to try it myself.

    Hey dmm, hope it works for you!
    Scott, that will mean a lot to him coming from you

    FC, ditto, and we will I think. lol

    Ontario Wanderer, He has the steady hands of youth. I am going to try it on birds but I'll bet I can't do it.
