Mom and I went outside because we saw this gorgeous butterfly on her geranium. By the time I got my camera, it was gone. So we went out on the patio with a glass of wine to wait. It didn't come back. Instead, Mom spotted this hawk sitting in a tree in the neighbours yard.
There was a really stupid squirrel sitting underneath the hawk, and we watched the hawk tilt its head straight down to watch the squirrel for quite a while. Finally, this wren couldn't stand it any longer and sent out an annoying warning,
and the squirrel took to the trees.
After a bit more waiting, a companion came along and it all made sense.
That's a remarkable photo, and what is the blossoming tree behind them? Sending on to the photographer and his wife that did the family photo
