Once and a while it all comes together for an amateur like me. After a day of shooting, you review the images on the computer and a shot comes on screen that makes all the deletions, the missed opportunities, the poorly composed clunkers ... worth while. For me this was one of those all too rare captures. I grinned with satisfaction when I first saw it.

I felt like that Junco deserved a reward for posing so nicely ... perhaps an 8 x 10 glossy I thought? ... Then I quickly came to my senses, realizing that was an utterly rediculous thought. What would a bird do with an 8 x 10 glossy ?

So ... Next morning I tacked an autographed wallet size to the tree for the bird. I mean ... How big could his nest be ?

Now that I've patted myself on the back so shamelessly ... feel free to let me have it with both barrels. :)
