[Leica] [OM] IMG: Daffodils & a Cardinal

[Jim Nichols]

Thanks, Ted.  I like the contrast of the birds and the leafless 
branches, but they won't let me get close enough to get the shot I would 
like.  If I hide beneath an old black cloth from my late father-in-law's 
studio days, they are still skittish.  This was shot from the edge of my 
driveway.
