Spring Robin ~ April 16th

Anyone who knows me, knows I have an irrational fear of birds. I think they're beautiful, in general, but I don't like the thought of little fast creatures flying near my head, especially when they have beaks and claws. I want to get better at taking images of birds. This little one landed outside the window where I was working. There's no fear involved when I'm behind glass.
:-) I'll keep working on it.

This is a real harbringer of spring. Just repeat the mantra, "Birds are harmless." :)
