The rainbow of colors on the black background is beautiful! Cool photos!
Thanks! It’s one of those things -- the colours in Grackles just glow when it’s cloudy outside.
Big fan of that particular shade of blue, but I also like how the second picture has pretty much the entire rainbow in the iridescence. And the contrasting yellow eye. Love that.
That is, according to the mildly deranged penguin, yet another wannabe ex-dinosaur with no idea how to dress, no proper tuxedo, just a tie-die imitation and non-regulation scrum-cap.
While the pictures can stand on their own, showing them as a series adds to them. Puffy black to iridescent and then glance, grackle and stare
I just love his accusing stare in the last picture:
Have you no shame Caine, photographing a grackle basking in the sun ;)
Thank you all.
Blf, oh no, Grackles know how to dress -- spectacularly!
Alexander, shame? No, I has no shame at all. :D
As we say here, “I wasn’t home when they were divvying up the shame.”
