Grey Fantail : I think ... and I exist ...

Very close encounter : while photographing dragonflies at a pond, unannounced, this Grey Fantail landed silently on a dead branch a few feet from me. There was just enough time to set my lens's range to 1.5m and fired a few shots. Luckily the light compensation was spot on.

 

Alternate Title : I think therefore I exist. There is some reference from the ancient philosoper Rene Descartes' famous quote.

 

Rene Descartes was a French mathematician, philosopher and scientist 1596-1650. The original quote looks like this " Dubito ergo cogito, cogito ergo sum"
