I had been outside taking photos of my hawk that has finally come back to me.  Okay, well maybe not back to me,  but last year we had a hawk couple that nested in the tree across the street and did all their perching at the very top of a telephone pole located next to my driveway.  I watched and observed and photographed these birds all summer long, even as their babies learned to fly from their tree to the top of the telephone pole and back again.  I did some research on them and found out they mate for life and it is quite common for them to come back to the same place every year.  I cannot tell you how excited I was to see a hawk sitting regally atop that telephone pole again.  I quickly ran into the house, grabbed my camera and back out again.  I took plenty of shots of my friend the hawk, but it was this one photo that caught my attention.  It’s blurry due to the breeze that gently moved the flower around while I tried to get a picture of the bee inside.  However, I just love the color and softness and light of this shot.  Later I’ll share the shots of my hawk, but today, I give you this.
