Bird Houses............

[Kelley (Texas)]

I spotted these bird houses in a back yard when taking a short cut through an old neighborhood in Universal City, Texas. Lighting conditions weren't very good, hazy overcast skies with occasional drizzle, but I decided to take the picture anyway.

This picture was taken with my Sony NEX-6 camera and a old vintage Sigma 28-80mm F3.5 zoom lens at following settings: F8, 1/160, ISO 200, manual focus, Manual Mode. The first picture is the original picture that I took, and the second picture is the same picture, but after I did a crop of it. Note: I did not sharpen the pictures. This old, vintage lens is a keeper in my opinion, did a decent job under difficult lighting conditions. Kelley (Texas)

I see one bird, were there any bird feeders ??
Wonder what the red rope hanging from the limb was for ??
We feed the birds and love to watch them....
