Hi, My name is Bill and I am updating my homepage to reflect a wonderful event in my life...marriage, September 18, 2010, to my best friend Tara...known to many of you as auntietk here on Renderosity.
We "met" shortly after I joined Renderosity in August 2008. We share a love for photography and indeed all types of art.
We live north of Seattle and enjoy getting to share photographic excursions and information with other Renderositians ( is "Renderositians" even a word? ). LOL
As for me, it seems like I've been taking pictures all my life but I didn't get serious enough to purchase my first Digital Single Lens Reflex (DSLR) camera until May 2008. In May 2009 I upgraded from an Olympus E-510 to an Olympus E-30 with a wide variety of lenses.
My subject areas of interest include absolutely everything but with a frequent return to airplanes, cars, tanks, etc., ...or as Tara says, machines that make lots of noise;-)
If you are curious, I am pictured above in a Grumman Corsair on a taxiway of the Kansas City Downtown Airport. I used to fly and train others to fly airplanes. That will explain my frequent forays into the world of aviation. Last but by no means least, thanks to Pannyhb for introducing me to Renderosity. The moment I saw it I was hooked.
Fine print: Yes, the photo above is a photo manipulation:-)

Aww...poor birdie...we had some sneaky visitor snatching our feeders at night. Last time they took the whole log my kids made and set out. lol

I echo Carin, yet it must be rather cold! Cheers, Clive

Excellent shot. I think he's wondering why you're playing with a camera instead of refilling the feeder. :)

Great shot Bill! Birdy; "Bad enough it's cold and snowing, now this!" ;D
durleybeachbum
Brr! We still have 'Last sunbathe' here! Dastardly deed, in my opinion!
frieder

I sure hope there is another cafe near by! Hate to show up for breakfast and find out the place has run out of food to serve. LOL Outstanding shot. Boy, lots of snow!
mininessie
beautiful!

had been wondering whether you got snow from that big low pressure system. We still haven't had a freeze. Raccoons around our house live in the storm sewers and scamper on our roof in the early hour. Strong critters.

what a cute shot here

Love this shot.
jendellas
Bless him, knowing you though Bill there will be more!!!! Not snow already????
MagikUnicorn

oh you already have snow? Wonderful, Bill, here it's still to warm for November, in the Rhinevalley up to 21 Celsius (70 Fahrenheit), which is unusual for this time...
sandra46
awesome quick and point shot, it's great ...poor finch!
goodoleboy
Cool and crisp capture of the bird house in this shot of your first snow, Bill! Of course, in contrast, we're still dry, sunny, and in the low 70s fahrenheit here in Southern California. Could that finch (or sparrow, to me) be an insurance agent or police officer checking out the theft?

Someone must have been very hungry but it is annoying eh! Fancy you having snow all ready, it seems funny when I'm busy watering the garden as it is hot here. This is a lovely capture of this little finch.
orig_buggy
great shot ..but you had to say that 4 letter word!!
tofi
Such a delightful image! A most cute and sweet little finch, though I feel so sorry for him out in the freezing cold... I do hope he gets in there and stays warm :) A lovely scene, the essence of the season! :)
Hubba1
Soooo Cool!!! Awesome job :)
PSDuck
Good shot! My first thought was a racoon.
danapommet
Closed for the season! :>) Poor finch needs that suet to survive the winter. Great catch. Dana

He looks throoughly disgusted by the discovery. I can just hear him griping! Last Friday we had rain mixed with snow, then hail, thunder and lightning, then snow, then it all went away. It was only in my general neighborhood, since I live smack in the middle of the convergence zone.

Lovely Bill. I especially liked seeing this because it is roasting hot around these parts!
flavia49
marvelous capture!!

Brrrrrrrr real cool shot,
