These guys never seem to stop moving but this one didn't mind a camera coming to within a couple feet! A little fluffed up, almost like he's chilly. He's on a post so handheld at waist level. Taken on Oahu, Hawaii.
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.

This is amazingly good, and I'm sure that 60 is only a preliminary vote. I know what I'm going to give it if I get it in the voting booth..Just an excellent photo :)
"The artist is a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place; from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider’s web." Pablo Picasso
I love this pix. After I saw fore, I decided to look in your gallery. I'm a St. Louis Cardinal fan (bigtime) and I've never seen this species. Thanks for posting.
