 I took this from inside the house so the detail is missing, but I found out I can capture great images of birds in flight which stand out against the white snow. My newest fun thing, but they are so fast it's hard to get any images at all!

I know this is oversharpened and noisy, but I'll try to take better photos of them in the future. I cloaned-out a messy tree on the right.

They were eating birdseed on the ground when a car drove by sending them in flight.

Great bird shot. Give a real sense of the playfulness of the subject.

The sense of motion in this is great. It looks a bit like a time-lapse shot.

Cute! I think that the lack of sharpness adds to the image.

That's not bad at all; it's got a good sense of motion to it. I especially like the little feet curled up on the two on the left. I don't know why; I just think they're cute.

This is outstanding, Darlene!!! What a fun and intriguing image - really. The motion is well captured and I like how the birds are so isolated from any environmental distractions. Awesome!!
