Mary, this is wonderful!! What kind of lens did you use? The photo is so sharply focused it looks like you were right in front of him! Beautiful!!!

Glad you enjoyed my little robin panel! #1323956

Thank you Kerby and DiAnna, I'm glad you liked this shot!
DiAnna- I used a 75-300mm telephoto lens, set at about 100-150mm. I had to lie on the ground in front of him to get the shot...it was rather intimidating with nothing between us, but fortunately he was a very good-natured kitty! :-) #1325609

Hi Mary

I've been to this place (a year ago a April), but none, but none of my photos came out this good--there were too many layers of fence in the way!! Good capture!
