today is the first rainfall of the season, its been since april, finally the fire season is over! while doing my dishes i glanced up so see my surprise guest out In the kitchen garden. i started shooting through the wet window for fear it would fly off, but i was able to get within 10' of him, i was so busy wiping my lens over and over i missed when he flew 5' over my head...
What a beauty! Reminds us of how beautiful nature can be. Happy Weekend.

ReplyDeleteHurray for the end of fire season and rain! I hope you popped a bottle of bubbly in celebration! What a beauty and fantastic shots! We have one that sits in our River Birch above the bird feeder. I find feathers everywhere when I go out to refill. :( I realize hawks have to eat too but I wish they would pick off the four-legged varmints that we have surplus of.
ReplyDeleteI have loads of finch feeding in my kitchen garden, of course that's where he sat! I threw out some cooked chicken but it wasn't interested, fortunately he flew off before anything horrid happened.
DeleteOh, that is the most magnificent bird and you captured it perfectly. Wasn't that little bit of rain nice?..Stay well..xxoJudy
