Taking a shot here at the theme. Not super easy to make a nice small-in-frame shot (at least for me).

This juvenile Lark Sparrow found a nice cozy spot near the limb junction of a Curl-leaf Mountain Mahogany bush. It's the same species of shrub as is in the "Limb of Whimsy" frame with the fuzzy spiral fruit.

I know to the purists the head direction hurts the image but maybe it's different enough to work.

What say you?
