Catching The Bluebird

I’ve always been a bird lover. I had many birds as pets when I was young. I love going to parks looking for them and hearing them sing through the trees. While in the botanical gardens here in San Francisco one morning I was walking around getting some photos of the trees when I happened on this park bench with a little bluebird taking a rest. He was so vividly colored and cute and was sitting so still. I was afraid I’d scare him away but at the same time wanted this picture. I slowly walked up to the bench as quietly as I could walk and was able to get this shot of him. Right after I snapped the picture he flew away, almost as if he knew what I was doing. It’s difficult to get photos of birds as they are always flitting about so I was certainly lucky this day.













Frostygirl - thanks for visiting. It is nice and very rare to be able to capture photos of birds
