Friday Feathers

Whenever I see this photograph of a Red-Bellied Woodpecker I'm reminded of the time I took it. It was weeks before I'd see the shot due to the fact that my laptop decided to up and die. Gone from my home base for a month of housesitting, I was stuck in a very rural area and therefore without access to any type of computer store. After shooting the entire 2GB of my camera's card, I took it to the nearest camera shop and had the photos transferred to disk. I may not have been able to review the photos each evening, but I couldn't imagine not using my camera. No laptop + no camera? I shudder at the thought.

This bird kept me company for the duration, dutifully showing up at the feeder every afternoon around 3:30 p.m. As long as there was food for it to eat, it would hog the feeder, linger between bites and happily pose for pictures. As long as the bird was happy, I was too.
