Nature is definitely made for observing, not photographing

So I always thought it would be cool to be a National Geographics Photographer. The pictures in that magazine are absolutely amazing!! So I decided that if I would ever get a chance to become a national geographics photographer, I had to practice in my backyard. First I took an excellent shot of a bicolored (is that a word) flower in my backyard. As you can see, it came out really great!! This photography thing wasn't that hard after all (so I thought). I wanted to take more pictures...so I layed down on my back to get a better shot at the flowers. But after becoming attacked by mosquitos, I came inside and promptly covered myself in Off spray. Then I headed back out for my 2nd attempt at becoming a national geographics photographer.There is a family of wrens that sleeps in the sill of my deck every night. They were scavenging in my backyard for some worms, so I figured, What the heck...I'd have my try @ getting some action shots. But as you can see I got some very crappy shots. Next, I moved on to a set of juncos. The 2nd picture is what I got. Haha. So after I failed to capture pictures, I decided that maybe I should let the national geographics photographers stick to their jobs. It was a lot harder than I thought.
