On this cool, dreary, rainy day (I know, I know ... April showers bring ...) I elected to browse through my photo archives to find cheerier moments. I came across this series from last year in which I got busted trying to sneak up on a birdie that was just trying to enjoy a quiet moment. Here were her reactions:

"I can HEAR you ..."
"I know you're OUT there ..."
"Are you under THERE ?"
"Where ARE you ... ?"
"Aha ! Busted !"
"Ok, now get that camera out of my face and leave me alone"

Oh my gosh, that is HILARIOUS! Seriously made me chuckle right out loud! Kinda reminds me, too of that Dr Seuss book "Are you my mother?" Thanks Rick, that was great!!
:)
This is way to cute Rick, I LOVE it! Your photos are magnificent and yup, you were busted alright! lol
Great pictures! That little birdie (along with your comments) put a smile on my face this morning!
I love birds and have quite a few in my photo collection as well... these photos are adorable, he's quite a little cutie ... and I reckon he must have been enjoying your attention. Look at him just sitting there whilst you snapped away!
Yes,that face says it all.You got busted.Very good series.Wouldn't it be interesting to really know what these birds are thinking?Pardon me,you did know what this one was thinking.:)
i'm always so impressed with anyone who can capture pictures of these little guys. i never can... have to content myself with the big water birds. love the way you told this story...
p.s. it's beautiful in florida today ;)

Sweet series, Rick...ha ha!
Great series of shots Rick! Isn't it fun when they tolerate and trust you long enough to give you a glimpse into their world? I tried to identify this one but afraid I can't see enough to help me positively i.d.
LOL, you're welcome Becky !

Thank you Soraia. twice ;-)
Thank you Cindy !
Thanks Randy - I remember being VERY quiet and deliberate in my movements, but it didn't seem particularly timid. I'm not sure what it was either (and I'm no bird expert !).
This is the best sequence on Blogger!

I love the last picture!
Fantastic images! Bravo!
Oh how FUN!
I don't know exactly why, but I was lying down and could not sleep... so I decided not to fight against sleep and trying to relax on the net in blogs friends.
I came straight here, honey, because I did not come that time... I was reading the few posts I missed and to my surprise, I saw this bird so lovely... how beautiful! How much improvisation!
Thank you for this opportunity.
Wishing you a wonderful Sunday to you and yours.
A warm hug.
PS - Did you see the post I did with your picture? Thank you again for the "loan".

Hello teca - I'm glad you stopped by and I hope you have now relaxed, found peace, and a restful sleep ! I bet this little bird never thought he would be helping you ;-)
Thank you too for that post on April 8 - I was travelling and had internet problems too, but now I have visited - so very nice how you used it. A peaceful Sunday to you with warm wishes and beijos !
Excellent and clear shots. A beautiful bird naturally. A greeting.
An amazing catch, Rick. Great photos, and good humor, too. :)
Love the commentary and captures, Rick. Sorry I haven't been by in a while. I'm so busy and always post and run, never having much time to visit. Hope you're having a wonderful spring. Hope you have a blessed Easter week.
Thank you Leovi ! I wish you a wonderful Easter week !
Ha ha, thanks, Jeanne - glad you enjoyed !
Laura - I know whereof you speak. Thanks for stopping by to comment. I hope you also have a wonderful Easter week !
Hi Monika - not sure how I overlooked your comment and didn't reply, although I do recall reading it ! Ha ha - I guess the birdy thought I was bothering it, although I was very quiet ;-) Have a great Easter week Monika !
