Catching a nap in the sun

Got her and her mate as they let me get pretty close. I didn't want to push it too much and frighten them.

Aww beautiful capture ! She looks like she's watching you very closely

@atwinfay I wonder how long before they move on. Puddles are drying up in the park and the kids are coming out to play more.

@mei_photography Thanks Mei.

[Joan Robillard]

@kbird61 That is why I choose her over her mate.

[Joan Robillard]

@silverhorn Oh she was. So wasn't her mate. But they never moved more than their heads to follow me.

Nice to see the female - we see lots of males because of their bright plumage but she is every bit as beautiful in her own way.

[Joan Robillard]

@vignouse Love too how she matches her surroundings.

[Francoise]

nice! That lidded eye looks like it's keeping a close watch on you though. Hard to get good ones of those creatures that blend so well with grass, trees, etc....

Gorgeous image!

@francoise I have taken ones before that didn't stand out so well.
