For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
Hi everyone! It is a nice, sunny day here, with a temperature of 36F (2C), which is quite nice for this time of the year. Having no snow this time of year is also nice, that doesn’t always happen.
I have been going through my photos again, or still, and came across this photo of a grackle that I named Grover. He was quite tame though he wouldn’t quite take a peanut from my hand. He did come close though and he would land on my knee, very briefly, to pick up a peanut.

Grover, the grackle, showing off his beautiful colors.
But not if I had my camera. A lot of birds were scared of my camera for some reason. Others were curious about it. Anyway, the photo shows his colors nicely. I hope you enjoy it! Have a great day and God bless!

Love how you’ve captured him! His coloring looks so vivid.
