Bonnets & Birds
Two of the first Bluebonnets popping up on our property here in Central Texas. Some of the waxwings at bottom are below ground level..
Their drinking from our pond run-off, as it winds it's way downhill.

Great capture. I really like the two in flight.

Looks cool. About the only thing you could ask more of the birds is to do that in a bigger patch of flowers. :-)

You've captured the seeming chaos of a group of cedar waxwings quite well Howard. Throw in a couple of bluebonnet blooms and you've got a winner.

I've always enjoyed seeing photographs of these birds, but have never been able to get a decent shot of them. The waxwings and flowers make a nice combination. Nice work, Howard.

Catching the birds in flight is a real treat and the bluebonnets add a nice touch.
