Wonderful shot. Two of my favorite springtime visitors. I have yet to hear/see a White Throat this spring but am eagerly awaiting their passage through our area on their way north. Their song - "Sweet Canada, Canada" - is my absolute favorite.
Thanks for the excellent posts.

Both are sharp, well done. I prefer No. 2...as seen in much of nature, odd numbers are more interesting to my mind.

In the 1950s, Madame Bovary was banned from the U.S. mail - reread it while you still can (legally). The Ogden Nash book must have been a fun read.
I've read Madame Bovary twice and plan to do so again. The language is so indicative of that era and a true pleasure in light of today's "styles." I did not know it had been banned and fully understand you subtle reference to its legality; these are strange times we live in. As for Nash, suffice to say he was a unique individual; a bit hard to follow at times, but well worth the effort.
Thanks for the comments.

It always amazes me that something so beautiful can arise out of something so...prickly. :)
The one you have photographed is a perfect example - beautiful shot.

Changing to one of my favorite lenses (a 17-55 mm F2.8), I opened the aperture, turned and, just for fun, snapped the first thing that came into focus: the top shelf of a nearby bookcase. As I "chimped" the result, I had a rare moment of melancholy: Does anyone read actual books anymore? Does anyone care about first editions or volumes from earlier centuries? What will become of the things I treasure when I am gone? If that sounds depressing, know that I quickly got over it - there are so many more things to photograph.

It could be argued you saved the best for last.
I sure have enjoyed the ride. :)

Very interesting. My mistake. Without claws visible, it looked like a different foot altogether.
Great shots nonetheless.
