I didn't know those little critters would stay still long enough for an unblurred photo!


WOMAN IN THE SCARLET COAT

Woman in the scarlet coat,
Are you heading for a boat?
Or perhaps you need a bus
To get far away from us.
Whether wheels or sails you take
Don’t forget the chocolate cake
To sustain you on your way;
Red-clad damsel, now we say,
“Go with grace, enjoy the ride,
See you on the other side!”

This diminutive avian sits just still enough for your capture - and a stunner it is! She sits gingerly on the smallest of sprouts and is steady. The view is a proud bird, that looks good - and knows it!

What an exotic blessing to have such a beauty outside your window.
I have never seen one, except for in the pictures of my blog friends. This was a superb shot. I am full of admiration and awe.
