After atending a car show with my SO I saw this little guy on the side of the road. He was tooling around in the ditch. Hit hubby "PULL OVER QUICK" I say:D . So I jump out...tip toe as close as possible (didn't have zoom lens as I was shooting cars in close quarters, so had to shoot with my 28-135). He def. wasn't keen on me getting close. Took a couple of quick shots before he flew away. Thought this one came out fairly well. No Harry shot, but pretty good for a quickie, he he.

**Got some good shots from the car show. If interested, I posted them in Sporting Goods.**

Edited to say: Tried to post a bigger version and it wouldn't let me. The small one doesn't look quite so good. Anyone able to post a bigger one, please feel free:huh .

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    It's probably one of my birds. Probably escaped Harry's rookery and is trying to make his way back to me.

    AWWWWW!
