cemetery companion
It was the strangest thing. I saw this robin sitting on a gravestone in Mount Auburn Cemetery and started creeping closer and closer to try to get a shot- I don't alas have a telephoto lens- and it let me get closer than most birds would before it flew off. Ah well, I thought. But then, for about an hour or so... every time I would crest a hill or meander down another path, there it was! Now this is a pretty darned large place, with lots of territory for this little one to be exploring, so after the third or fourth time I saw it I realized it was ... following me! I never did get a good shot of it, but I did get a little closer each time. If it hadn't been threatening to rain I think in another hour or so I would have gotten the image I wanted. :-)
Not great photos, I know, but the whole experience made me so happy I'm posting a couple anyway.
