Avian Adoration
Oh why oh why does this have to be happening all the way over on the other side of the world. Grrr. The PDX Film Festival kicks off in Portland Oregon on Wednesday 30th April until 4th May. It promises to be a jam-packed 5 days worth of innovative documentary & non-narrative experimental film screenings from all over the globe. The PDX Film Festival is presented by Peripheral Produce, an experimental film distribution label founded in Portland by filmmaker Matt McCormick. If this picture below of a Vladmaster Communal Viewmaster Screening that featured as part of the program a previous year is anything to go by, it looks a real hoot! Lucky Portlanders and their super fun looking festivals. Phooey!
I don't own a viewmaster to look at pretty slides, but I captured the following pretty images of some visitors to my backyard today on my less than retro, yet still click-worthy contraption.
While the other birds were busily devouring the delights on the tree, I particularly liked the bird in the centre of the photo looking up adoringly at the bird above. The bird above appears to be completely unaware of the attention. Or is choosing to ignore it. I guess unrequited love is prevalent amongst all species.

Your photography is fantastic! Can't believe how beautifully you caught the one bird touching down!
Perhaps the bird has eyes for another...
WONDERFUL POST MISS AUSTRALIA~~~

Oregonians...
But then again, with such amazing beauty in your own backyard, who needs a viewmaster!?! Your photos are breathtaking!
& yep, the birds are Corellas. Clever pants! Bet you don't know the long fancy scientific Latin sounding name though ;)
Oh...hop on a flight...I'm sure between Karen and I, we can put you up for a week or so...you can hang with all the cool Portlanders.
Diva - Thanks so much for that very kind offer! I'll send you a list of my food preferences...that is of course if feeding me is part of the deal. Oh & if you can spot me a plane fare, that would be great. Doesn't need to be first class ;)
I was so thrilled to see a cardinal and a bluejay here the other day (spring is finally here) - not sure how I'd handle seeing all these lovelies on a regular basis!
I love birds, I should share photos of my lovely african grey parrot Zowie. He is the best pet ever.
Those are AMAZING photos of the birds, a delight to look at!
