Day 165

ISO 100, 200mm, f/9.0, 1/500 sec.

Day 165 - First and only click

An evil deadline at work is keeping me chained to the computer. I stepped out on the back patio this morning for a skinny minute and a robin perched on the post that the unruly roses are tied to.

I thought, "Self, will the robin still be there if you run in and get the camera?" My long lens from the honeysuckle shot last night was still on and I didn't even have a chance to change last nights settings.

Set-up, one click and the fathead robin turned his back on me before flying off.

In the meantime, I have not picked up the camera again today. Evil deadline tomorrow.
