Fall-Winter - 55
Spanish Sparrow

It is not often
that ... these
fabulous Sparrows
... a prized winter
visitor sighting ...

... allow one
a full framer ...

As he did on this
occasion ...
... an outstanding
gesture on his
part ... and a
memorable moment for
me ...

That little turn of
head giving a
glimpse of Sun
on the horizon ... in
his eye ...
