I've decided that birds are incredibly difficult to take pictures of... not just because they flitter from place to place so quickly, but because their elegance and delicateness doesn't transfer to film.
Perfectionism doesn't always work in photography... I've been editing pictures of birds for the past 30 minutes, not realizing that the original image looks better than anything I can concoct with photoshop.
That's what I love about beautiful days--they're just naturally perfect.
