Project 365 d-147

     I only had minutes to shoot before not only the light was gone, but an evening full of activities had to be attended to. After a very long and hectic day; I walked out on to my deck and let out a big sigh. My ears were filled with the melodic sounds of the winged, musical community belting out their bedtime tunes before night closed in. It is so peaceful behind my home as huge Oak, Hickory, and Maple trees lock in all the wonderful sounds of nature. My life has been blessed by having the opportunity to live here. Really it is like a mini national park, and I call it my own.

     Soon the bubbling song of William Wren broke above all of the other music and filled my ears with his magic voice. He had landed on his second favorite place to perch. An old curtain rod broke in half and stuck in the ground among the Black Eyes Susan. My camera and long lens was just inside the house, so I quickly retreated inside to get it. Knowing that the light was nearly gone; I decided to try and get a silhouette of him. This was the result and I slid the temperature down some for the blue look. Today is a day that I could have easily just walked away from this as I feel like I'm going to crack. Just trying to take a different approach to capturing this little bird.

Happy Shooting.
