Two years ago today I felt extremely fortunate to have this Tufted Titmouse in my viewfinder while I visited my dear friend Steve Creek in Arkansas.

I didn’t have my photography gear with me after my trip back home to Virginia, so I was using Steve’s Canon gear and photographing from his deck.

Tufted Titmice were, at that time, a bird species I hadn’t photographed in years and years because they aren’t found in Utah. Now living in Arkansas, I see them on a daily basis.

Maybe I’ll even photograph a Tufted Titmouse today. I hope so.

Life is good.
