Title: Eastern bluebirds
Post by: mr.sharp-photo on October 24, 2013, 04:10:22 PM: It's that 1 week a year that bluebirds land in Toronto.
It took me 45 minutes to finally find those crazy buggers....to only come home and find that, inexplicably, my camera was set to .jpg and not .raw.
oh well.

hope 1 or 2 of you missed me.
