One Lucky Photographer

Try him on black if you can. This Summer Tanager was just sitting there - didn't even move when I got a little closer. I absolutely love his coloring. Didn't touch the bird or limb a bit (cheated a tiny by enhancing the blue in the sky). One of the prettiest birds I've seen this summer.

Lucky indeed! What a wonderful shot of him. I've seen them on occasions, but never for long enough to even get the camera out!

What gloriously colored feathers this bird has! He could likely be spotted a mile away! Nice of him to stay put for a picture. :)

Thank you for the comment shared on my crystal ball pic. Yes, I'm taking lots of pictures AND having a wonderful time with my family here. The days are going by much too fast unfortunately. I'm headed for home again tomorrow.
