spring contemplation

out birding on a very overcast day filled with the deeply saturated colors of Connecticut's slowly emerging spring, I was quite happy to find the vibrancy of this active male red belly going down the hillside to the meadow beyond. I am trying out my new zoom and I must say it is the first time in many years I have not shot with a fixed lens but I'm finding the lightweight aspects to be quite freeing and feel practically giddy with the ability to move around...or maybe it's a symbolic gesture for having stayed so restricted during Covid....who knows...
