A Bird in Hand...

Literally. This was a picture taken at random at our house. We have a screened in porch with a hole in the door created by/for the dogs. Occasionally a wandering feathered friend finds its way onto the porch.

We take great care in releasing them back into the wild when it happens. We just happened this time to have the children and grandpa taken by the wonder of this small creature. The lighting, the positioning, the bird... it all just struck me as so perfect in the moment. All taken with the default settings on my (awesome) Canon SD850 IS. Best point-and-shoot there is in my opinion. How can you argue with results such as this...
