I realize that National Geographic will not be needing my photographic services any time soon, but I am so thrilled with this photo! This represents the true maiden voyage of the flagship Telephoto Lens. I’m not counting the photos I took of the tree on that first morning. This is actual Wildlife, doing Wild Things, like eating its Hapless Prey. I can almost hear Marlon Perkins narrating the dramatic action here as the robin ruthlessly tears into the tiny defenseless seed. It might have been even better had this robin been eating a worm, like a good robin should, but alas, I found a vegan robin and this will have to do. I’ve never looked this intently at a robin before, nor appreciated the craftsmanship of its design. Maybe this camera is giving me eyes to see. When I read “Great are the works of the LORD, studied by all who delight in them,” I have to admit I was thinking more on the lines of majestic mountains, stunning sunsets, that kind of thing. But it’s all here in this exquisite little robin. I’m definitely delighting.
I’ll probably delete this in the morning.
