A hooded Oriole was on the cross bar of the swing set ladder just above these Clematis that are growing up the ladder.
Alas, the Oriole was faster than the photographer and by the time I turned and brought up the camera it was gone.
So I did a shot of the blooms and processed for their colors.
Pretty good consolation prize.
5DIV, 100-400L @ 400, 1/640 @ f/8.0, ISO 1250 hand held, in shade from afternoon light (the blown out yellow and green are leaves out in the direct sunlight, the blue and gray are the pool water and deck on the other side)
