The last time I wrote about this species I said that I was feeling Orange-crowned Warbler deprived<\/span><\/a>. Just a few days later I had this beauty in my viewfinder.<\/p>\n

I’m not sure why I didn’t share these photos back at the end of September when I took them. I know that I liked them well enough to process them and stash the photos in my 4 my galleries folder that I keep on my desktop.<\/p>\n

The setting and how the warbler was framed by the leaves appeals to me plus I liked how well the colors of the plumage of the bird stood out.<\/p>\n

While I didn’t get many different poses from the Orange-crowned Warbler it did change the position of its head several times. In this image I liked how the warbler tilted its bill skyward.<\/p>\n

I am glad that I focused on this particular Orange-crowned Warbler<\/span><\/a> because it was the last one I photographed during their fall migration. Hopefully next year I will see more than I did while they were here for their breeding season.<\/p>\n

\"44 my galleries folder screenshot<\/span><\/p>\n

I wanted to share a screenshot of the 4 my galleries folder that I keep on my desktop. This is where I store photos that I plan to share on my blog or galleries. Sometimes they are stored there until the next day, sometimes for a couple of weeks, and sometimes they are there for years. Just using the photos in this folder I could go a long time without being out in the field and I’d still have photos to share and journeys to write about.<\/p>\n

My problem is picking out which images to share out of the ones I have stored. There are simply too many choices!<\/p>\n

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