Sue Hudson, "Backyard Buddies" (ANIMAL & NATURE 2025)

Despite all my efforts to keep the parrots from eating the last of our cherry tomatoes earlier this year, they won out in the end. So I decided to prune the foliage, and when they arrived in the evening, they were in a good position, and light, for me to photograph them. They will be most welcome in our yard this season, where they can enjoy our tomatoes, and I can enjoy "shooting" them. Win -win!
