standing tall

my sister and i took another bus trip out of the city and one of the stops was the church of Sainte-Marie Among the Hurons northeast of toronto. it was a catholic church and as catholic churches go, there were a lot of things to shoot inside the church. however, a special service was going to start so out of respect, i did not take any photos inside. so i went outside and just explored the grounds. my sister, being a devout catholic attended along with the other passengers. whilst waiting, this robin perched on the head of a statue caught my eye. it was there for quite a while so i took a few shots. i couldn't go nearer as that would spook the robin and then i'd be left with a photo of the statue with no plaque whatsoever indicating which saint this was. i rather think it was just a statue of a follower of the saint.

i'll try to catch up with you, good people, in the next few days. it's late and the knee is screaming to rest.
Great capture

Cheeky bird. Hope that your knee settles soon.

Fun capture. Much more than just a statue photo. Nice light and shadows and terrific shallow DOF.

Having been plagued with similar knee problems for sometime I sympathize with you and hope you are feeling better this morning

Good timing to catch the bird on the statue's head. Maybe it's St. Francis of Assisi.

Well captured he was certainly posing for you and in the right spot.

Good timing catching the bird also. I like the softness of the brickwork framing the statue.
