Anticipated Blue With a Yellow Twist

View of Mt. Aenos  Lourdas Bay

The snow had all but melted under the harsh January sun, crisp but enticing days were sure to follow. So, a leisurely Sunday drive was indicated.

No game plan, no itinerary to adhere to, no planned routes. 
With abrupt stops at crossroads and impulsive decisions as to which road to take.

Nice, but predictable.
That is, until I decided to explore on foot the ravine behind the beach at Trapezaki.
And there she was, standing out amidst all that green and blue. I'm not a bird expert, I can barely tell apart a chicken from a vulture. But she left no doubt as to her genus—a bird with this strut of the tail can only be a Yellow Wagtail!

Wading her way across the puddles formed by running waters on the uneven turf, she seemed to take extreme pleasure in knowing that her reflection was equally spectacular. Yes, beauty comes with attachments—vanity and self-confidence!

📷 Note: unfortunately, the 2nd camera with a long lens attached, was without memory card, so I had to capture her with a short zoom lens, lest she decide to fly away while I was trying to change cards.
