  • Mockingbird at the Fountain - this is the first one I have seen in my neighborhood.  Judith tells me that this is NOT a mockingbird...here is what she says:  Judy--I just want to throw in my impressions--I think you have something that I would get much more excited about seeing in the yard than a Mockingbird. I think this is a Townsend's Solitaire. I'm saying this based on the prominent eye ring and the size and shape of the bill. And, for a long time birder it just look "more like a thrush" than a Mockingbird. They both have mostly gray feathers and white in the tail. The mockingbird has a longer, sharper bill, white wingbars, and a yellow eye. They are similar in lots of ways, but my money is on the Solitaire. This is mostly a high elevation bird, but they sometimes come down lower in winter. (For me, a much better bird than a (here) more common Mockingbird.)

    Not exactly vibrant, however the details in the petals and droplets raise the bar to a new level for a good composition!

    Judy, This is a beautiful sunflower you captured with all the raindrops on it. Excellent sharpness and lighting of it.

    A very creative view point. I like it!

  • Judith Sparhawk

    As it is raining outside right now, the sunflower with raindrops seems very appropriate. The fact that the flower is wilting and is hanging its head, makes it look a bit sad with rain-tears around its face. ;-)
