Tete-a-Tete

Posted by Lee (Fort Frances Ontario, Canada) on 24 February 2009 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

While trying to find the right foreground for the sunset that was happening I spotted these two crows. It was the perfect picture. They not only seemed to be enjoying the splendor of the event. They appeared to be conversing. Their heads would turn and look forward for a while, then turn toward each other. I could only imagine what was being said. I hope you enjoy viewing it as much as I did.

Reminds me of the old TV comic Red Skelton "There were these two birds Gertrude and Heathcliff". (Now I'm just revealing my age!!). Well done Lee, excellent shy color for the silhouettes.
