A little surprise
I was photographing an old yard today. I have been hiking Charlie and Kyra in the area and have been recording the spring melt with the subject being an old Case Tractor and Combine. I'm actually getting tired of global warming not being so hot here. I could even use some climate change, even though that is considered politically incorrect. Anyway, I digress. Back to the subject. I was kneeling low in the snow to get this shot. Charlie and Kyra had other ideas. Just as I pressed the shutter release, I was startled and found myself a bit flatter in the snow. Don't know which pup made the discovery but the flush of a pair of Hungarian partridge from under the combine was pretty loud even for a deaf guy like me. Fortunately the camera compensates for a case of the shakes. The two birds are in the top right of the photo but the exposure was not set for this kind of action, so they are a couple of blurs. Too close to occupied farm house to play this fall carrying a Parker. Cheers, Jack
