These common sparrows are often found in groups. You might appreciate their song but don’t often really consider them. This little sparrow enjoying the water on a hot day didn’t mind my presence, so I took the opportunity to admire him and take some shots.

A splendid photo. Contest-winning and archival worthy, I say.
“How much more intimately would you know
The tiny seed, the quaking grass,
If it were all the world?
Consider the Sparrow,
And how much greater is his knowledge
Than your own.”
Seek peace,
Paz
