'Close enough........
Nora

'Close enough........ (Petroica goodenovii)

Hi all, my apologies for not commenting, my pc has been having network probs and tonight is the first time I haven't been kicked off....but now have a monstrous cold and cant think straight!
Just had to share this one with you all as I was trying out my new lens at Woodlands today in the hope of finding the 'Dad' but this one will do very nicely!...I was wandering in amongst the trees and it literally flew at me and landed on a branch only two metres away and then proceeded to walk to the end nearest to me ...almost asking if it was 'Close enough'..got heaps of shots!...then it flew passed me and landed in another tree with me following.....very obliging, not frightened at all!....When I got home I couldn't believe what a difference ...f2.8 has got me now..lol.. Do hope you all like it and have a very Merry Christmas!
