He really didn't want to have his photo taken and I get that, we have all been there, but I thought the House Finch with its feather pattern and coloring from this angle were very interesting and pretty. However...
up, up and away, and he was gone.
Those professional photographers who wait hours, days and even weeks sometimes, in the harshest conditions for those amazing wildlife photos, I take my hat off to them.
Thanks for visiting and enjoy your day.

ReplyDeleteThank you very much Linda, I appreciate your words :) You have a good day also.
DeleteI like the little bit of red toward his rump - very pretty!
ReplyDeleteThank you Carol, totally agree. I hope your move is going well :)
DeleteI like the closeup of the back of the bird. Those feathers look so soft.
ReplyDeleteNo way would I have the patience to sit and wait for the perfect shot.
Me too and they do, don’t they? :) I agree, and it would be lovely to chat with one of those photographers on how they do it.
