\"Black-cappedBlack-capped Chickadee hanging onto a branch \u2013 Nikon D500, f7.1, 1\/1250, ISO 500, Nikkor 500mm VR with 1.4x TC, natural light<\/span><\/p>\n

On Sunday I had this delightfully cheery, tiny Black-capped Chickadee<\/span><\/a> hanging from a branch in my viewfinder for a few moments in time. There were several chickadees feeding in a small clump of aspens in the area. There might have been insects in the opening buds of the aspens. There were also several Ruby-crowned Kinglets foraging in the same trees.<\/p>\n

It was challenging to keep up with the chickadees and kinglets. Neither species is known for staying still for very long at all.<\/p>\n

I liked that I could see the color green in the distant background. Green is a color I associate with spring more now that I live in Utah where the green doesn’t last very long.<\/p>\n

Sorry this is late today. I had problems with my web hosting provider again this morning.<\/p>\n

I wish I was as carefree as this chickadee. Wouldn’t that be lovely?<\/p>\n

Life is<\/em> good.<\/p>\n
