Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

First, I'll say your photos are incredibly beautiful, and from what I can see on my small screen, give a pretty good rendering of depths and heights.
And, thank you so much for the detailed answer, though the conclusion it led me too is probably not the one you guys wished for . I checked the prices, and to get a better compact camera that what you have with the threes included on the S21, I would have to pay as much or more ( S21 around 500 euros, a camera like the Lumix S100, 600 euros).

So, I'm not going to buy my partner a new phone : he already has a quite recent one and he handles his phone in all kinds of rough situations, so it doesn't make sense to get him an expensive phone. And, I won't buy a camera either since for the kind of camera he needs, a phone would do a better job. We'll wait until either his phone or the camera dies and then we'll probably get a fancy phone with a good camera that will be used only on special occasions and keep a cheap phone for everyday life.

All this to say I will still be doing blurry mugs for a while . I promise to try and use the old camera every now and then to make better pictures, since you've taken the time to give me the details of the s21 specs and therefore helped me to make an informed decision.

I'm glad to help. An informed decision is a good decision.

Gaston is my twofer's main actor today.

This would have been impossible a week ago-Gaston and Chipie.

Also unlikely : the two roosters sheltering from the hawk.

Just saying that S21 is going to get cheaper as the S23 specs are already leaking out. So there is hope. Maybe a used one is a possibility.

Went to the park today! It’s always fun visiting the feral chickens!

Wow, they seem to be doing well! So, I absolutely still disagree with the 'extermination' law that passed....I can see somewhat how uninformed people would react. Kind of like how we (at least in NE) react to geese - particularly on golf courses (evidently, human entertainment is SOOOOOO much more important than wildlife)

Back to the feral chickens: What a lovely variety of colors! And look at those tails on some of the boys! I think if I had that nearby, and didn't have my own chickens, I'd be visiting nearly daily!!!
