Description

I was out walking today a few miles from my home, and I had decided to leave the camera at home this time, well of course I saw all sorts of blue jays, mocking birds, a stunning tree with a gorgeous sky behind it, well when this hawk swooped down into the tree next to me, I was really kicking myself for leaving the camera behind. I finished my walk got back into the car, and like any enthusiastic photographer, or should it be fanatical, you all know who you are, lol I put the car in park, ran upstairs grabbed my camera, ran back downstairs, grabbed a diet coke out of the fridge (it had been a long walk lol) and got back into my car, waved at my neighbor and I was back on my way, luckily the hawk had waited on me and I was able to get four shots before he flew off, so I hope you enjoy this one as much as I enjoyed watching him. Thanks to you all for your comments to my photo below.. I appreciate your views and input.
