Training in patience

In the early evening I put my 55-210 lens on and attempted to catch some bird shots. After various locations, all equally futile, I stood by the garden, taking pictures of the zinnias and sunflowers which kindly hold so still... and this Black-capped Chickadee appeared. And sat there just long enough for a blip.
The extras are the flower shots. 
We are headed for some warm days again, mid 30 C on Friday, about 97 F.
