Fred Heather in Edward's Gardens

[RBSinTo]

Mr. Heather was a delightful, elderly gentleman who spent many hours in Edward's Gardens, a large botanical garden and park here in Toronto. He always had pockets full of nuts and seeds to feed the squirrels, chipmunks, raccoons and birds who knew and trusted him. He would put seeds in the brim of his hat to attract Chickadees that would swoop in, grab one or two and quickly fly off.

Very cool capture, those friendly little birds have a tendency of getting too close to you in order to get a good shot, luckily you had a good diversion from their (the bird's) inquisitiveness.

John,
Thanks for commenting.
I almost never photograph birds, (as I prefer mine tastefully displayed on china plates next to mounds of mashed potatoes and other garden vegetables), but I recall these little guys were tough to catch as they're usually only stationary for times measured in Nano-seconds before flying off again.
