We were leaving our vacation resort in Bandera, TX last fall and while driving I heard this lound squawking noise ... It was a hawk which was either glad or sad about our departure ...
I chose to believe that he was waiving his wings to say good-bye ... It was one of those striking scenes which lasts for a short moment and I was glad that I got to my camera in time ...

Only in TX can you have a hawk wave good-bye to you and I'm so glad you had that experience. We Texans are a friendly sort along with our wildlife!
What a great catch you got there Bo, I don't think I'd be fast enough on the click to capture that!
Margie - I guess you are right...but we have quite friendly wildlife here in OK too...LOL...thanks for stopping by
Cynthia - I was lucky indeed, it is so hard to capture the moment even if the camera is ready, most of the digital cameras have a delay...which lots of times drives me nuts...LOL

Great shot Bo and the clouds add to the effect.

Looks like the beginnings of a totem pole - love the sky - so much color and depth. :)
