Description

These days we have a bunch of swallows flying around the house and it's fun watching them. Yesterday I heard a chirp and found a little visitor on my balcony. He didn't move when I got closer with my camera but he often turned his head to see what I was doing. Taken with a Minolta Dimage A1 No Postwork was done on the shot. Used Corel Photo Paint for framing. Thank you for viewing and commenting! It means a lot to me! Thanks for your kind comments on my previous shot Hibiscus...for Kim You've made my day! Hugz Monika

What a great photo, Monika! I always like these birds; they make such funny noises. There's a saying here in Holland: "One swallow doesn't make summer yet". Well: we've had more than one swallow and there's a real summer going on here (and I guess at your place too). Mhak, Tjeerd

Wow, awesome shot, though placing the bird more in the left part of the shot could improve it I think.
