A Happy Bird

This is sort of a happy accident. I was playing around with my shutter speed when I noticed some birds. I turned and took the shot and this is the result. Not a normal looking photo but the bird looks pretty cute.

Tiny Icy Reflections

An icicle melting in the sun

The icicle upside down. Notice how it's barely clinging to the roof as it lets go of it's last drops
In the water drop I can see the reflection of the sky, some trees and the side of a church, but I realize that if I didn't take the pictures I wouldn't know what the reflections where. I took these with my one and only lens(it came with the camera). It's 18-55mm. I'm wondering if there is a type of lens that would be able to capture a clear reflection in a drop of water outside? Maybe I just didn't focus correctly.

The dripping icicle in the pictures fell about 30 seconds after I took them.
