Where I live in California, we get all sorts of migrating birds passing through. I was hearing the message that birds are wanting to be seen (and very much heard if you have ever encountered a flock of migrating parrots), and so I had camera ready for any that showed up for it. This work includes one such loud migratory parrot, who posed in between chomping kumquats just south of Sunset Blvd. Our other friend, a hummingbird, hung out patiently waiting for me to snap his portrait but instead I got an action shot of him fleeing from a dump truck speeding by. The moon was hanging out in the background, so I consider the shot a success nonetheless.

Add a mosaic I created, as well as a flowering cactus for background depth, and it was a fun combination to mix. I have an alternate that I'll also include, because I loved them both.
