Everyone and everything is a critic these days. I was getting ready to hit a golf shot last year, when I spied this fellow watching me. Judging from his expression, he was not impressed. He didn't even bother to fly because he knew I coldn't hit him. He was right, my shot was not very good. Stupid Hawk!

My internet has been down since Saturday, so I haven't been able to comment on your photos. I will not comment on all that I missed, but will look at them.

I wish I was a Glow Worm, a Glow Worm's never glum, 'cause how can you be grumpy, when the sun shines out your bum?

Oh my, he sure is giving you the eye. Really keen eye and capture. Don't worry my friend, we will still be here when you get your internet back up.

You know, SOT, maybe it wasn't the golf at all...could be an enemy agent keeping an eye on you...in fact, my internet was acting up recently too...hmmmm....good for you spotting him in the act...and a good identifiable capture to keep in our database.

He may not have been impressed with your golf shot, but I am impressed with your photo shot. From the detailed foliage to his feathers and the staring eye, you have a "birdie" with this shot!

He's trying to keep an eye on you. He let you take a great shot though.

This sure was a well spotted take! Maybe the T off was not so good, but your eyes sure spotted a good shot. tigz=^..^=

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

Great catch on this shot but maybe closer eyes on the ball would help. LOL

Good one of the hiding hawk -that angry look is directed at you. I think it is a caracara Tick.

Tick can not judge your golf...but your camera work is A 1.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
