Chickadee-dee-dee!

I love chickadees.  I think they are the sweetest little bird and their song is so precious!  I will often come across them on my runs but once I have a camera in hand, they are no where to be seen (or flitting about so quickly that it's a lost cause).  For a number of years I have had a bit of a conquest... I was determined that one day I would finally create a chickadee photograph that I was happy with.  Finally, yesterday, the cutie pie Black-Capped Chickadees decided that they would pose for me.  Perhaps it was because although I hoped for them, I did not approach it as my conquest and simply enjoyed the moments for what they were.  And it made my heart smile.  I sure love chickadees.
