Better with the window open!

 This morning, in anticipation of some Goldfinch action, I parked a bit to the right of the thistle I thought he might land on.  It worked out.  I was able to roll down the driver's side window and photograph the bird without opening the door.  These two shots are passable, to me, under the circumstances.

If the bird is still around when I get my new SLR, I'll park further away and walk carefully toward the thistles with my telephoto ready.  Meanwhile, I've added overdue text to a couple of my recent posts, and tomorrow I hope to get back to finishing the stories of our recent high-altitude hikes.
