Taking Flight

Yesterday when I was sitting in the photoblind I happened to notice that a Dark Eyed Junco had landed on a sorghum plant behind the bird feeders. The sorghum plant must have popped up from last years bird seed. There was a beautiful background behind it and I also knew that the junco wasn't going to stay there for very long. I quickly recomposed and managed to squeeze off two images. One of it sitting and the next one of it taking off. Just perfect. God's light and love to all, chris
