Gray Nuthatch on a Gray Day

It stopped raining for a few seconds yesterday while I was near the river, so I went into the woods to see what I could see. The river was overflowing it's banks and flowing very fast. No ducks in sight, but I did catch a glimpse a White breasted Nuthatch.


A gray little bird that blended in well with the overcast sky and foggy forest.


Nuthatches are striking birds, but like everything else they look better with a little more light than was available today.


Kinda nice profile shot.


This was a poor imitation of a dramatic/artistic shot until it was much improved by colographicalchemy, a flickr photographer with artistic talents and superb post processing skills. Thanks again, colographicalchemy.


I ended with a magical photo where everythong glitters like diamoands. (That would be nice!)
