As the Sun Sets

Posted on January 11, 2011
Bird silhouette against the Sun
A Sunbird Silhouette at Sunset

The bird was sitting against the sun and let me take two pictures before it flew away. I think it is a purple sunbird but somehow looks bigger sitting against the sun. It then went on to sit on the bottle brush flowers again. And kept on showing its beautiful neck. But those pictures are for another day.

And it looks like I will be traveling in January itself. A small trip but I expect it to be a good one. Details soon.

    Thank you for coming back. That is the setting sun, though I wish it was the moon. For everything else I think I just got lucky.
