Eastern Bluebird by jyokota

Eastern Bluebird

I went to Morton Arboretum and walked around the vast acreage, hoping to see this very bird. I stepped over a log in tall grass, but didn't see the smaller log on the other side of it. My hiking boot got wedged and I fell flat on my face -- and on top of my camera with the big lens. It literally knocked me out. When I revived, my hiking partner wanted me to sit and rest but I said I wanted to see the bluebird he had promised lived in these woods. We continued walking and I finally was able to see this beautiful bluebird!
Oh, wow! Glad you are ok! Beautiful capture made it all worthwhile, it seems! Fav

Lovely composition. We had one buzz into our feeder yesterday and then it was gone.

What artists suffer for their craft! This is perfect, but Iā€™m not sure it is worth being knocked unconscious!
