Straight Out Of the Camera Sunday







These were taken at the San Diego Zoo. I'm not a birder, but I think this is an Oriole. I almost used them for Watery Wednesday, but thought they were perfect for SOOC. No tweaking, just cropping.

Do you ever take a photo that you love; it comes out so well, (straight from the camera), that you're not tempted to do anything with it. It's wonderful and you want to share it. I've decided to start a new meme - Straight Out Of the Camera Sunday. I'll host it here, each Sunday. So put your thinking cap on, scroll through your files and decide what to post. The subject is open, no weekly theme, just have fun.

What are the rules? On any Sunday you can post any photo you like (it must be one of your own) that hasn’t been tweaked or altered in any way (cropping is OK).
In other words Straight Out Of the Camera.
Also, please link back to Murrieta365. Thanks, Jan.

Great shots. Looks like the brown bird is a little envious of all the water fun that other bird is having!

Those are very beautiful - is the yellow bird OK - it looks too wet? Must be very hot there!
