Kinglets

Kinglets... are very difficult to get pictures of, or even getting close to one is quite the challenge. They are fast little things - darting in and out of the bushes like a lightening bolt across the night sky.  However, today sure was a rare/special treat.  Along the trail in front of me were all these Kinglets flitting  to and fro amongst the grass eating insects. They were literally, no joke, about 2 feet away, and they weren't even frightened! Definitely made my day. Ah... the simple pleasures of life. Have a wonderful evening.
