This should be an award wining photo. Flawless! What an amazing capture. Perfect in every sense. Thanks for sharing.

I agree with Carolina.... the first picture really tells a story....a story of struggle and loss for me.

Thanks Carolina... it made my heart break a bit. I was very excited on Sunday to see my first Fox Sparrow ever. This was my second if my ID is correct. Had to go shopping for a wedding dress and was sad that I couldn't go check out Pileated Woodpeckers instead (still have never seen one). Then I found this on my way back to my car. :(

Oh well I was talking about the first picture, the second one looks for CSI haha :)
Carolina
Woah this is a tragic picture, but somehow I found it really fascinating. It is touching and beautiful.
