Tails’ Blography

I’ve been throwing seed and cooked rice out onto my lawn in hopes of attracting birds, and its finally paid off. Unfortunately, a cat was stalking the birds and they flew away when I went to chase off the cat, so I never got to get any photos of them, but I did end up capturing some other garden photos.

It really brought my love of photography back, and the reasons why I started. It was so peaceful out there, lying on my patio waiting for the birds. Eventually when they never came, I started moving around the garden looking at everything with a new outlook. One I havent used in a long time.

I climbed out of my “comfort zone” and used my 75-300mm lens, which made me think a little before each shot since its more limiting than my 18-70mm. I’m very pleased with the results, esp after seeing them on my monitor (the LCD on cam never does images justice).

Please feel free to leave comments on these photos, after all, my blog isnt called Tails’ Blography for nothing

As I’m sure some remember, Ross Gellar from F.R.I.E.N.D.S told us his Celeb Top-5. I was reminded to post mine from a blog I stumbled across on a photography search. So here’s mine (in somewhat of a first to last order…):

John Lequizamo…I have a strange attraction to his teeth…
John Lequizamo (he’s from my fav film, ‘The Pest‘…if you havent seen it yet – get it! He’s also Sid the Sloth from Ice Age, Tibult from Romeo & Juliet, Toulouse-Lautrec in Moulin Rouge, and the voice of one of the rats in Dr Dolittle to name a few)

Bam Margera….oh my gosh he’s so hot!
Bam Margera (ok, ok, I hear some of you saying, “Whaaaat!!??!” but he’s hot! Oh he’s hot!)…if you havent watched Viva La Bam, you should – its really funny and a lot better than Jackass! Unfortunately he’s married…and he gave his wife his purple Lamborghini….*sob*

Legolas…yes the mythical elf thing does it for me….le sigh!
Legolas (note, not Orlando Bloom, I want Legolas, in costume, leg/body padding and all!)…a guy who can ride a horse and shoot a bow and arrow whilst making witty comments…oh my! Not to mention his mythical good looks!

Hugh Jackman…maybe its his Aussie heritage that does it for me, I’m not sure, but he’s definately hot!
Hugh Jackman (preferably as Wolverine – I mean, ROWR!! – but I’ll take him in person, Aussie accent and everything!!) I’m not usually a fan of big muscular men, in fact most often its a big turnoff…but I’ll make the exception here. He’s dreamy!

And who gets my fifth and final place….hmm tough choice….I’m not even sure at this point….I guess I’ll have to say….

From left to right: Zac (24), Taylor (26), and Ike (29)…all three are unfortunately already married and each have kids…curse you oceans-that-separated-us!
The Hanson Brothers….yes, I want ALL THREE!! Preferably all at once…ooooh what a day that would be!! Yum yum yum! (and dont you dare say or even think that the Jonas Brothers are better..GROSS!!)
And yes, I hear the jeering…but I tell you, these guys are doing great work in Africa helping the poor and needy. And if you havent heard them in a while, pop on over to their Media page on their website and take a listen, specifically, to “Middle of Nowhere Acoustic“. Seriously, its just breathtaking music (and yes, they do an acoustic version of “Mmmbop”). I can also recommend the Album “The Walk”, especially the song “Go”.

So, I challenge you – who makes YOUR Celeb Top-5?? Please link back to my post here so I can read your Top 5…I cant wait!
