She's either lost something, or she's wondering if the car is moving too fast for her to jump out.
They were hoping for a convoy. We don't have enough cars. ...Someone could ride the horses
I couldn't resist doing that photo in the wake of the previous one, but since I am particular about the pic-a-week needing to be taken that week, and this one was from last week's shoot, here is another for the Official Pic-A-Week.
Today's hatchling marks 100 for the season. He took forEVER to grow, and forEVER in the chrysalis. He is so late. And he lost a day's flying today because I selfishly kept him for a photoshoot and by the time I did it, it was too cool for him to fly. He really tried, shivering his wings like crazy in the warmth from my hand, but it just didn't work. He is on the clothesline reel out of the rain, and hopefully there will be sun in the morning to warm him first thing so he can get on his way. His journey may be doomed, this late... but of course he'll still try.
I spent quite a while today just sitting with him on my hand, appreciating him, and being all metaphorical and communing with nature.
I'm also in a whole lot of trouble with the photoshoot edit, as I shot several dozen photos and unless it's a really poor pose or not sharp enough, I'm going to want to keep all of them.
