But this patient fellow just stayed perfectly still for me.
Day 122
It’s almost impossible to get good wildlife shots with a phone camera
July 26th, 2010
I'm walking across America.
That's the idea, at least. I'm walking westward from New York City for nine months or so. If everything goes according to plan, I'll be in Oregon when the clock runs out. If nothing goes according to plan, maybe I'll end up in Peru or Mongolia or Pennsylvania. You can read all about the details of my trip if you're so inclined.

Here's my progress so far:
Great work, Matt!
And here, on day 122, Matt the prankster makes an appearance. *grin*
Beqautiful work here. It looks almost real.
heheheh either that or one of the sharpest birds in the business is about to over shoot his mark!
Good one Matt
There you go hawking the animal wildlfe shots.
That is an amazing photo with a camera phone.
Marlin Perkins on the MUTUAL OF OMAHA’S Wild Kingdom would be proud of you.

You usually have to phone ahead so they can get ready. Glad you got a great shot.
Gorgeous.
Looks like he might be going for you droid! Run Matt Run!!
Darn – you mean that’s a wood carving! Fooled me! LOL! My poor old tired eyes have been working too hard today!
you = your – I always somehow miss that R key! Plus – Matt -you got me!
Ok, I was going to believe it was a real bird when I read Donna’s comment. Dang, I’m so gullible. ;-)
You are not alone in the gullible department! :)
LOL I had to look real close to figure it out! The tail gives it away.
Awesome shot! One of the best yet. Congratulations on your patience paying off.
That is a gorgeous gate woodcarving!
Man, that’s an awesome shot! New desktop wallpaper!!!
Man… you got me. I zoomed in and saw that it was fake. I should have first read all the posts! Very good one. Got me big time.
What a beautiful picture! You really are seeing the world….
I had to do a triple take on this one…yep…that is a gorgeous wood carving….looking so, so real. Great job Matt for pulling the wool over our eyes. :)
you are heading into some gorgeous country now–polson and flathead lake are beautiful enjoy the bluegreen river water!!!! can’t wait to see which way you go through idaho!
I stopped at Flathead Lake years ago on my way to Glacier Park, it was stunning (the lake and the park)
I love the bluegreen river water…. it really is that color… can’t wait to see some Matt pics of it!
Very funny, Matt. Good one.
I wonder how many people come to visit for the first time, and think that is a real bird. Nice carving.
ha ha ha. A+ to the wood carver….B- to mr. matt. We want real wildlife.
Perched on a lofty oak, Sir Raven held a lunch of cheese; Sir Fox, who smelt it in the breeze, thus to the holder spoke:
‘How do you do, Sir Raven? Your coat, sir, is a bright one, so black and glossy; with voice to match, you were a bird, sir, a Phoenix fit to be.’
Sir Raven, overset with praise, must show his musical approval. And down falls the luncheon from the oak.

No soup for you!
You had me fooled!
deb….Your a pretty awesome photographer yourself. Love the colors and themes.
Oh you two!
Deb – Love your Town & Country Gallery on your site and home page ‘ruin’ image. I feel that your landscape photography has the same texture and visual vibe as Matt’s talented efforts. I think that Matt is an inspiration to all of us who take the time to creatively examine life through a lens or even a Droid! Keep up your excellent work and continued success with your exhibitions.
I was about to congradulate on the awesome wildlife shot, but then I started to read what others wrote.
