I am thinking maybe we need to go to a revolving picture exhibit where we switch out a few pictures every month to give all an equal viewing. I am a wannabe nature photographer and have a bunch of pictures I'd like to hang, but there is no room for them in my preferred size, 13" x 19", the largest I can print on my printer. I am relegated to watching slide shows of my pictures on our 50" HD plasma display. That's actually better, I think. But there's something about my print on a wall that is satisfying. Also, even though they are technically mediocre, when hanging on the wall, many people infer they must be great, so the technical demerits may get overlooked. Gotta love psychology.
Debby had two of my photographs up at work. She already took down one of the grandkids photos to find room for one of them. We'll probably move another family picture to find room for the other. I'm afraid we are not inventive enough to get them all up. And there is something weird about taking people's pictures down to put up pictures of critters. Perhaps our next house will have a large gallery room, or long hallways with clerestory lighting.
We want to see the bird feeders from our work rooms. Debby's study faces front and mine to the rear. Mine is easy, the feeder must hang from the edge of the patio cover; no other options are available. Debby's must hang from the large amber tree next to the front porch, but we haven't come to an agreement on which limb yet. I hope the birds can wait while we figure this out. We had smaller stick-your-beak-in-the-hole feeders in the back for some time. But wasps found one and began to build a nest in it, so we took them down and they're not back in service yet. We only ever saw house finches and house sparrows at them. But the new ones are tray-type feeders, so maybe we'll get some different varieties.
A couple of critter prints:

(150mm, f/6.7, 1/180s, ISO 400)
