A Roadrunner Rap Session

Thank you Marlin and Laura for your lovely comment and support. I really appreciate it! It was a one of a kind summer due to our normally rainy weather. All the desert fauna kept us entertained. This was a great surprise and special moment indeed. He made himself right at home, digging out a spot in the dirt, and laying down.

Thank you so much Patricia! The greater roadrunner generally doesn't give me the opportunity to notice its markings and eyes, as they take off in a hurry. I appreciate your wonderful comment.

Thank you Kim, as found it stunning as well. Always difficult in the past to photograph them, as among all birds capable of flying, the roadrunner is the fastest bird on the ground

Thank you, Angela. It was a great day indeed for me to interact with this roadrunner, as they usually take off right away.

Thank you, Jasna. It was a great event indeed, to photograph such a marvelous southwestern bird, such as the roadrunner.

Thank you Elvira. It was an amazing situation indeed. Probably never to be repeated to have a roadrunner grace my home. Cooling off from a dry monsoon season, is great incentive. I didn't realize how colorful they are.

Thank you Frank, for your wonderful comment. I really appreciate it! It was a surprise visit to my desert acre of joy. When you provide a water source, in a season that normally rains everyday, the critters come. I never had a roadrunner ever hang around before, especially to take such intimate shots. It was a photographer's dream.

Thank you, Johanna for your wonderful comment. It was a splendid moment, indeed.

Thank you, Jasna for your visit and comment. It was a fantastic day indeed to get this. The roadrunner cartoon doesn't give one the sense of how truly colorful they are.

Thank you, Alinna for sharing your thoughts about this Arizona greater roadrunner. It was a photographer's dream to photograph this rare moment. He stayed awhile, even later finding him staying cool in my banana yucca plants, under a palo verde tree.

Thank you Nikolyn for your wonderful comment. I really appreciate it!

Thank you Debby for your congratulatory message. I really appreciate it.

Dave! Thank you so much for stopping by my gallery to share your wonderful comment about my work. I really appreciate it!

Thank you Mary. It was an incredible moment indeed, but it was not in a hurry, as it was a nonsoon monsoon summer in 2020. All the desert fauna visited my desert acre to get water and cool off. This roadrunner took off his running shoes for a while. Even digging out a whole in the ground to lay down. Something I had never witnessed before, as they always would take off when they saw me. It was the bunny beach resort and friends.

Thank you so much Christiane. It certainly was a fabulous moment. Probably a never to be repeated event. I am so glad to have experienced it.

Thank you Gary for stopping by my gallery to share your wonderful comment about my work. I really appreciate it!

Thank you Randy, for your lovely words expressed about my Arizona Sonoran Desert greater roadrunner photography. I really appreciate the special recognition of a Homepage Feature, in your art group, Wisconsin Flowers and Scenery. It means a lot!

Thank you Andrew. You are so right. I doubt that I will have such an opportunity any time soon. I feel quite blessed to have this amazing desert bird grace my home that sits on a beautifully lush Sonoran Desert acre of joy.

Thank you Joy! When you have a fantastic subject, if all things go right, you have fantastic photographic moments like this. I will probably never experience something like this again, as they always take off when they see you. Or fly to a higher vantage point. They do have beautiful markings, don't they. I didn't realize that until I viewed all my close-up photography.

Thank you Douglas for your kind comment. It truly was an remarkable moment for this exquisite bird to allow me to photograph with every angle without taking off. I am glad I could provide a rest stop for all the desert critters that summer of 2020, when we had no nonsoon monsoon weather. Creating a water shortage for the animals. It was like a resort or something the way they all came and made themselves at home. I am honored for the privilege to photograph all this beauty during a lock down situation around the world.

Thank you dear Jane, for your lovely words expressed about my roadrunner photography. I really appreciate the special recognition of a Homepage Feature in your wonderful art group, American Desert Southwest. This was quite an honor to have this special desert bird, grace my home.

Thank you Sharon for your awesome comment. I really appreciate it! This image happened July 30, 2020. So the animals didn’t deal with a water situation in the summer 2021 or 2022. I have a lot of photography from 2017 until now and I am determined to post my work. I do have a few more poses to share. You will have to check out my image of this roadrunner laying on his belly in a scooped out area he made in the dirt.
