That’s the spirit 🕊️ 😊

Thank you - just lucky to be there to catch it. I lived across the Columbia from this mountain for 27 years, and only saw this once, one afternoon, for about ten minutes.

f8 and be there 😊

Mother Nature can be gracious with her palette if you catch her in the right mood 😊

Thank very much. Not a branch of sparrow, but they’re on the same tree 😉

Thank you 😊
