Take a look into my world...
This is what a ‘stake-out’ looks like at my house.
I set objects out in the yard, then I cover them with lures and then I sit on my deck and I WAIT and I WAIT and sometimes I WAIT longer than THAT for a bird or critter to NOTICE it! But I do wait…I wait for a bird to discover my bait…and WANT TO LAND ON IT! ...then I sit quietly and HOPE, that the bird will land exactly where I want it to, so I can get THE SHOT, which will help me weave another story. How likely is THAT?
There you go... That's one of the secrets of how I get the totally REAL and ACTUAL photos of birds, and other creatures, who visit my yard! It's not a hobby for the infirm or the person who is always in a hurry. Patience and a keen imagination fuel this magnificent show of personal artistry!
JUST so you know…I completely think …IT’S WORTH IT! …To sit for LONG periods of time with my camera in my hand just HOPING a bird will come along and work out perfectly for a photo. I’m completely reliant on THEIR schedule! THAT’s how much I love those adorable birds and assorted wild life!
It’s like Russian Roulette for me, sort of – out here in the yard! Sometimes I set out 3 different props in different locations, hoping that maybe one scenario will entice a creature…and…BOOM out of nowhere the birds and creatures start hitting all three of my scenes…!
It’s SO hard to guess WHICH of my scenes the bird or creature going is going to go to if I put out more than one prop! I don’t get it right very often…so I wait some more. It’s me against them. They win most of the time but sometimes, they let me get the BEST photos and then I can write my blog, which I LOVE to do! I love to create the stories…I’d love to write a big story one day, but that’s too large a task currently, so I write little stories… to go with my photos … I take pictures for people who are like me, who enjoy something a bit off the edge, to look forward to looking at and/or reading every day…
I look forward to writing every day so if you read my blog and you like it...I am elated!
I like to use my sometimes distasteful and often corn-ball, as well as diabolical imagination, to constantly spit out, bizarre scenarios, which are lovingly being acted out, in my back yard by nature's creatures, who are seemingly willing, to go along with my plans!
My backyard is behind our house, so nobody can really SEE my little secret garden world back here….so SOMETIMES…an unexpected neighbor will come back to the yard and SEE one of my ‘BIRD SET UP’S’ and...I see their eyes kind of draw back and their eyebrows shoot up…. as if they are trying NOT TO SAY…”What in the !!#@! IS that?”
****************************
For all of you who have been sending me cards and letters and to all the agents trying to get me to publish a book, chock-full all my insanity…Please, please keep on writing and sending me your good thoughts! All you television producers who are looking for an idea for a new television show…how about this? ….’you put a random object out in the yard and then you try to get a wild bird to land on it!’ America voted and I’d WIN THAT CONTEST!
For those of you who are looking for something refreshing and NEW! that you can share with your favorite people… THIS IS IT! MY BLOG! You WON’T BE ABLE TO GET ENOUGH!
I have visions... of zillions of readers who are fans, sending me various prop items that THEY would like me to USE IN a Jeansina BLOG!… I’d have to write about their particular prop and the bird or critter from my yard…who lands on it or gets near it!…But if THAT happened, then it could go bad because I’d have to pay for an ENORMOUS storage facility so I’d have someplace to store ALL the props everybody sends to me!
And I might not be able to afford to PAY for that giant storage unit and then, EVENTUALLY... the Storage Wars guys will be trying to out-bid each other for what they get a PEEK at in MY storage unit!! I can confidently tell you this…Barry is GOING TO WIN THE BIDDING ON MY STORAGE UNIT and he’s going to be a very happy man!
You just know that Paris Hilton will want me to use her dog in one of my blog stories… Her dog would be in a purse and then I'd have to get her dog to hold on to a TEENY little purse and then HOPE I can lure a bird to land on the TEENY little purse that the dog is holding, ... because THAT would make an AWESOME picture and story!
It could get out of hand though…somebody might decide it would be a good idea for ME to have the guy who bought Roy Roger’s stuffed horse ‘Trigger’ at auction, rent a U-Haul, and bring ‘Trigger’ to my back yard!!! All this…so I can try to get a bird to land on Trigger and then take one of my famous photos! It would all be TOO much for me...that's what I’m thinking!
I imagine, if all the stars are reading my blog, and constantly talking about it...well Alec Baldwin for instance, knows that HE likes to be THE MAN, who's very IMAGE says. "I'm a man who people like looking at!" So I can just imagine how much Alec would like to see his fans, LOOKING AT HIM, in People Magazine, in a photo, that shows him... LOOKING AT MY BLOG, ON HIS CELL PHONE!"
Alec...I hope you are still looking at my blog and that people are looking at you, looking at my blog on a daily basis... By now all the stars who are constantly in the news..have 'admitted' that... reading my blog is more exciting than constantly monitoring "Twitter!"
If Alfred Hitchcock were alive, I bet he'd read my blog and he'd hope I'd do some nail biting Halloween bird scenarios! Remember his movie "The Birds"? I do! Maybe that was the beginning of my 'bird' attraction!
If you were a bird wouldn't THIS look like something you'd want to land on?
Keep your eyes peeled for what-ever I think up next…
