This is what I love about nature. Take this ugly bird, for example. Some times I wonder, What could they be thinking when they see one of us pointing a camera at them? I wonder if their attitude is.... " Here I am, take me as I am or leave me be! Now, get your photo & leave me alone."


Nice shot! Like it very much.
