A Matter of Focus

We're having lots of rain lately (yay!) and rain brings robins. Looking out the window a few days ago, I saw this:

I purposefully didn't adjust the color too much because there was a dusky sameness across the view, and that is exactly what was so interesting...

Do you notice where your eye goes?

Did you notice that there are actually two robins in the picture?

I looked away and looked back several times - the higher contrast of the male robin really does the trick. To add to it, as I watched and took (lots) of pictures), first the pair walked away from each other, and then the male started squawking at me - to further draw my attention away. Fascinating.

How wise nature is!
