Livorno Daily Photo: A Helpful Sparrow

Saturday, August 2, 2014

Quickly hopping sparrows aren't easy to catch in reasonable poses, but this one was very accommodating.

I was able to get a portrait of him against a rock and another facing the water of the harbor.

Lowell said...: Beautiful portraits. You're right, they're usually hopping all over the place. Maybe this one sensed your friendly nature and thus posed for you?; August 2, 2014 at 2:46 AM

He seems to appreciate your noticing him. Probably the first time anyone cared enough to take his picture.; August 2, 2014 at 8:42 AM
