Yellow bird flying

I had to look twice as I cycled past a patch of bright yellow flowers this afternoon. There were birds perched among the flowers, several bright yellow goldfinches. That beautiful sight was captured in my mind only; I was wandering with my baby camera, and the only hope to capture an image of those beautiful yellow birds would have been with my SLR with the long lens. It still would have been a long shot.

I stopped my bike and stood there watching for a few minutes. As soon as I took one slow step towards the flowers, the birds flew away.

The memory will need to satisfy me for now.
