Chaos

CHAOS is defined by Flylady as Can't Have Anyone Over Syndrome. Well, this is an example of the CHAOS in my house (this is next to my desk) and why, even though I'd love to have ya'll over for tea and brownies, I can't. Too much CHAOS!

Oh, yes, camera info.

Trio


This trio of House Sparrows was sitting on a low wall outside the National Archives.

I cropped a distracting piece of white pipe from the bottom of the picture (and some of the greenry at the top to make it more balanced and less top heavy) and increased the saturation a bit.

Focal length: 23.2mm; f/5.5; 35mm equivalent: 147mm; ISO 250.


Here's the original for comparison.
