Everything else is gravy!

This is what I most wanted - shot along with a bazillion others at Corkscrew Swamp near Naples, FL. More to follow. I'm warm, and tired, and ecstatic!

I was at Corkscrew last Friday...I always wonder when walking around places like that if I'm in the midst of someone I "know"...in this case we just missed!

That sounds absolutely divine Helen, so glad you are back posting again. I had to laugh at your comment, no that most definitely was not me, not in this lifetime anyhow. Fabulous picture of a most vividly colored little bird. He is exquisite.

Nice capture. I've waited by that Corkscrew feeder for hours for a bunting shot so I know the patience you needed for this image. Blue Skies and hope your trip continues to be productive.
