Visit from a Mockingbird by danette

Visit from a Mockingbird

I was out for a few minutes watching the setting sun and trying to capture the glow of some flowers to no success. A Mockingbird flew into the tree and I didn't need to move to capture him. I loved how the sun glowed off the bottom of his body (since the sun was low in the sky). In a flash, he was gone. (Uploading early since I won't be able to tomorrow.)
Gorgeous! I love when the shot comes to you versus you having to go to the shot :)

You all are the best! I was so thrilled to capture the special light from the sun. Thankful that the bird was there long enough for about 4 quick shots (in a location I could find him!).
