Little robin, big mouth! by jamibann

Little robin, big mouth!

We were meant to go on a local hill walk yesterday with our son, and I was all ready to go, with the pack lunch made when son & heir came downstairs to announce he'd forgotten that he had a video presentation to attend at 10 am. So, that put pay to our planned walk. Hubby and I therefore left him to it and went on a shorter walk around our area followed by a picnic lunch together in the garden - using up the sandwiches and flask of soup I'd prepared. It was just as much as fun, and allowed us an afternoon 'at the wall'. :-) And I got lots of lovely nature photos. What's not to like about a day like that?!

I thought this photo was kind of weird. No processing done at all, other than a small crop, but it looks as if I've put in a pale green background. Nope. Nature's own background.
Interesting how that worked out, it really sets off the lichen on the tree branch, and what a lucky robin to catch the bug!

Natures background are the best .. I feel the more that is done in camera and the less in ps.. the better .. and possibly harder to achieve.. Sounds like son was the one that missed out..

Beautiful, like how the robin is framed by the branches

Sounds like a lovely day after all. This robin is super. I like nature's own coloured backgrounds too. This time of year, there is so much variety in light greens.

Beautiful shot well captured. Sounds like you had a perfect day and picnic. One thing I learned during our military days is that all planning is flexible

Love your nature's background!

Splendid capture...and am fascinated by the ‘red morsel’.

In teaching, that was called "Monitor and Adjust" - did lots of that and usually worked out fine. Sure is a neat shot of your robin. I often find the background like that - always surprises me.

Great photo and rather a good day! The weather is so lovely and it's hard to stay inside working at a laptop!!!! I got a lot of other things done today!!

Well to capture a picture like this I would have given up a lot...it’s just amazing! Love every tiny bit of it & would fave it twice if I could! Well done!

I'm feeling a little sorry for the bug.

Good clear details of the lichen on the tree branch and good capture of the robin with lunch in its mouth.

I like it

Lovely capture.

Sounds like a lovely day. It's interesting what the camera did to your background. It totally worked in your favor. What a cute little robin!

Glad you got to enjoy your picnic anyway -- AND capture a sweet robin at the same time. So puzzling as to how you got that background. Wish I knew so I could reproduce it.

PS. I came back to say -- I also got that green background behind flower and I have no idea how it came to be!
