Hilarious Judy. Did he let you spray it for him?? What a great capture. I think you must cast a spell on these birds to be able to get so close.

@Marion: Of course he let me spray his hair! I do talk to them as I inch closer - does that count? *Smile*

Three longer strands of wisdom!:) Perhaps each strand means a year old? Or a decade old?:)

Barbara from Florida, United States
What a face! It is a magnificent shot. The tight crop gives him more personality. Perfect and fun title.
The clarity, colors and DOF are excellent.

@Barbara: At first I did a vertical crop, but the 'hair' hardly showed; the belly was prominent.
Thanks so much for your comment, Barb!
