Needing a break from moving house, I took my camera and drove along the river road looking for birds. Always hoping for that one shot to brag about later.
The river seldom disappoints. A family of wild turkeys crossing the road welcomed me. Ripples in the calm water revealed a female merganser – a thrill as they have been gone for a while. A Cedar Waxwing, serenading the setting sun, glowed in my camera’s site.
And then, the moment every photographer lives for…that rare and incredible sight…

…a rare and unusual bird indeed.

This week I’m asking that we focus on the visual. Photography is more than welcome. Look forward to your responses.
