I have been blessed this winter to have a kingfisher that is willing to tolerate me and my blind in his foraging territory.  Without the blind he does not allow close approach.  While in the blind he knows I am there, but deals with it.  

One of my favorites so far.

You cannot save time, you can only spend it wisely, or perhaps, freeze a moment of it forever in a photograph
