eh!eh!me and my wife(photo and animal lover to)we have the same situation,whith both neighbors,they look at us whith a litle yelow smile,of who is thinking that there are the lunatics,but at the same time,they listen when we speak about animals and there beahvor,the solution is to talk a litle bit about,not to much,like that with time you will upgrade from crazy to peculiar person:-)
I can think of many worse obsessions - though I'm sure my neighbors think I am a crazy woman since they saw me run outside in my pajamas when I spotted a skunk & standing in torrential rain trying to get decent photos of the flock of wild turkeys that had appeared in our yard!
:-)eh!eh!eh!one thingh i can tell you auntnance123,is that to me, it's a perfect form of learning about wildlife in all is aspects,globaly,and in the process it'a a form of go out more times,relaxing of normal work life,i'am hapy with noah and his people,thanks for the coment
Don't worry about the side effects, Antonio--it's not an addiction; maybe a syndrome; but it's defintely an obsession. Very nice butterfly also.
"Glad you have found the addiction known as Project Noah" yes i confess,it´s a knowned sindroma?i hope it does not have side efects,because i'am completly absorved in spoting,and id(ing),and fowlling,and editing,and coping,googling,wikipeding,etc... :-) so i'am going loading my last photos to continue to posting spotsso i can feel noahigth:-)
Glad you have found the addiction known as Project Noah
yeah,that would bee very nice Emma:-)yes in winter in snow country,the birds feeders are spectacular places to spot birds, even other animals that trie to eat the bird seeds,i´ll bee fowlling you to see news from there:-)
That would certainly be something to see Emma!
What i really want to spot is a mule deer stotting!
Absolutely! We had snow yesterday but it didn't settle. I'm sure we will see lots more before the winter is done! I will keep my bird feeders full & hope to get some good photo opportunities from the birds!
:-)here we are whith a max 16ºc min 6ºc,it's not yeth winter it's a late fall,we have the four seasons but since i live in braga(22 years)it snow a couple of times and snow that melt when fall in the floor,but all the climas has his goods and bad sides:-)
