The nest is very near and he doesn't want anyone getting too close. Watches me come and go but knows he has a friend behind the patio gate :) Enjoy and thanks for coming by.
You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

Cute, cute, cute....and did I mention this is a cute little guy? LOL...love the clarity on the bird's eye. He's really got a bead on you, that's for sure.
Fantastic. I like how you were able to get the bird into the light, but the wall behind him dark in the shadow. This is a beautiful and very artistic work my friend and I am so glad, you had the time to shot and post it.
I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't, than live my life as if there isn't and die to find out there is.

How nice to get such a closeup of this adorable mockingbird! We usually have a few around our yard as they are the FL state bird, but I usually don't take too kindly to them chasing away all of my other songbirds when they're nesting, lol. But nothing beats their wonderful repertoire of songs! Love your good shot showing his cute eye Anita.

Right now, I'm once again in the middle of a move that won't be completed for 2 weeks, once I get that done, I'll post again. I will still comment on yours. Keep smiling in the mean time. ;-)
