Hello, Handsome

Didn't get out today but id manage to sit on the patio for a while icing my ankle.  I don't get a lot of action when I'm sitting outside but today was pretty active.  They may have sensed I was not much of a danger with my leg propped up on a huge pillow.  The finches came out to play.  This curious male sat on the top of the Shepherd's hook while his female friend parked on top of the hook holding the suet.  He was funny to watch because it seemed like he was testing me.  He flew to the cholla, then back to this spot about fur times.  Each time he came back he perched a little longer.  I thought both shots came out so sharp that I did nothing but a crop.  I do have a circular polarizing filter on this particular lens, which I really need to remove.  With our blue skies I don't need it.  I probably accidentally turned it a little which would account for the slight differences in the sky.

Remember the mono Monday (optional) theme tomorrow is rhymes with  "time."  I'd better put my thinking cap on!
