As Hubby and I were resting and enjoying the view at Nowell's Lakes, I noticed something fluttering in the flax quite a distance away. Being the impulsive photographer that I am, I zoomed in on the area and took a shot. Whatever it was jumped around and flitted and I took a few more quick shots--just in case it was something interesting.
Much to my great delight, it was this kingfisher that I had captured.
He then landed on the picnic tables and posed for me. OK, maybe he's not posing for me, but I had the chance to get some great shots.
Great photos of the kingfisher and I love the flax outlined against the water.
