This is why I also carry my camera with telephoto when I walk at the Preserve. You never know when the right shot will come along. If I want to do a serious exercise walk, I walk along the canal where there isn’t much of anything to distract me. 🙂
He is, isn’t he? And thoughtful enough to give me a good pose. Win-win. Happy weekend, Deborah. I though of you today while scrolling through photos and finding a couple shots of a scarlet tanager I managed to capture one day at the Illinois park. The sad part was that I just missed an indigo bunting. I have a blurred shot of the beautiful blue but didn’t have time to correct the focus for a good shot.
A beautiful picture.
Thanks so much. The background and reflection were what initially caught my eye.

My feathers would have been more than ruffled if I was asked to do that!
Lovely picture, Janet.
Thanks. Now if he’d actually been rolling the log rather than just posing for me, I’d have been even more impressed. 🙂
Oh wow – A+ for title and A+++ for photo. Nice one, Janet.

That’s an outstanding photo! I love the reflection.
There’s just something about a reflection, isn’t there? In this case, I also love the background.
Great photo, Janet, the title gives it just a comical edge! My mind ran away with me a little! 😄
Great capture, Janet! I keep imagining the bird running on the log like a cartoon character. 😀
It would have been funnier if he’d really been rolling the log, but it made me smile to think about it, too.
Thanks for the Laugh.
My pleasure, Peggy. Happy weekend.
Beautiful reflections on this photo !
Thanks, Aletta. This place often gives me good reflections. 🙂
😊
ROFL!!! I love your caption! He’s a beauty.

Wonderful shot! Thanks for sharing it.
My pleasure, Rebecca. I’m happy you liked it.
Isn’t he gorgeous? 🙂 🙂 (or she)
Yes (and who can tell?)
Another bird, hopefully 😊
One would certainly hope so!!
Wow this is outstanding! 🌞
Thanks, Lisa. I was fortunate to be able to catch a good reflections and he ruffled his feathers at just the right time, too. 🙂

It was meant to be, Janet! 🌞
Stunning, just stunning!
I was pleased with the way that shot turned out and it made me laugh to think of it rolling that log. 🙂
Lol! More likely the log would roll it! 😀
Wonderful shot , Janet.
Thanks, Rupali!
