The Special Season

The beauty of small creatures usually goes unnoticed until John B comes along and captures the perfect bird next to a ripple of water and wow, the colors complete the masterpiece. Well done, I love birds when they don't know you are around.

Beautiful image and capture. I love his/her fluffiness!
