my favorite visitor

i can be doing anything in the house - hear
this guy and his friend calling each other outside...
run get the camera and tip toe out the door.
... wait ...
... listen ...
... wait ...
and then move in the direction i think the closest
sound is coming from...then the hunt begins.

i can never never see them...always someone has
to point him out to me...
this time "if you just stand right over here by the
tractor and point the camera up in the air he is on
top of your head..." right!
then "you will never make a photographer if you can't
see them!" "he is right over your head!"
sure enough -




not exactly over my head..but he tolerated the
tractor, the dogs and me...



i think he was very tired...no more calling and the eyelids
just starting to droop...




he stayed and i watched the light change
across his feathers...beautiful soft light...

it once again became quiet.
