Don’t know what this little guy is. He’s an Oddity here in Central California. He must be another of the many species that just pass through this time of year. He was very cooperative as he fed on the seeds from our dormant crepe myrtle. I also liked the Topaz Simplify watercolor version and included [...]

Old birdbath in my yard. Adjusted levels, converted to b/w and added sepia tone. Did some burning. Frame by OnOne Photo Essentials 3. Camera settings: F/8.0, 1/320 sec., ISO 400, focal length 250 mm.
