Update to picture of the day

I run a little web stuff on a p3 celeron. Its a slow computer, so try not to overload it.

Click on any of the Kameras and you can view a live picture. The page will automatic update every 30 seconds. At dawn or dusk the colors are extremely vibrant. After dark there is not alot to see, and during the day the colors wash out. I bought these kameras (ip9000a) from www.geeks.com for about $80. They actually work pretty good. I just purchased 2 low lux ip9060a for night viewing. I hope to have them installed soon.

I finally got my netcams installed in the backyard. Here are the first pictures from Kamera 3 and 4. Kamera 3 seems to have a slight problem. I will give it overnight to see if it fixes itself. I will probably re-adjust where they are pointed, but they are ok for now.

Spent the last couple of days trying to do a wireless bridge for my netcams. Here is a picture from each of the two in the front of the house. They are working great, wirelessly.

I hate to make this about the bird in my backyard, but . . .
I was doin' yard work most of the day, since it was the first nice day in a week. As I was finishing up, I heard a low noise. In our backyard there are a lot of birds, at times it can be deafening. So I turn around and there is this Mallard, just a couple feet away, eating the dropped birdseed under the feeders. I started taking pictures and getting closer. I finally just left him alone and went about my business. He stayed there the whole time, and then I got real close and he flew away.

Woke up this morning to see a splash of orange. I grabbed a better set of binoculars. By setting the focus with them up to my eyes, and then holding them up against my phone, I can get a picture that is actually in focus. The oriole was a much brighter orange.

Tried something different. Held one side of a cheap pair of binoculars up to the camera on my phone. Check this out. The spring bird migration has begun. Finches, grossbeaks, tons of weird sparrows, orioles, and even a hummingbird. This is a goldfinch. Just a touch out of focus, but not bad?

Took this picture this morning. It is of the tulips in the neighbors yard. Aren't they pretty.
