    I was trying to lure in a couple of Gray Jays, Andrew McLachlan, friend and BPN'er, was trying to photograph them...I decided to have some fun and put a seed (which you can see falling) on his lens, these birds are super tame and fast, I don't think he got one good image.......

    And that you need to be in front of the lens to have your photo taken. Nice shot, Paul. Looks like you two had fun.

    Hey Paul, had a blast that day, couldn't have asked for better weather...or autumn colours. See you up there this winter.
