The Pansy that brought a Hawk

I was out in my Mother-in-laws yard taking photos just minding my own business, when my mother-in-law said to me, "Watch out there is a hawk above you on the tree limb, getting ready to ponce on you".
As I slowly turned to see her, I turn a little further and looked up and above my head with a curious look on his face was a juvenile hawk watching me intensely. I went to take his picture but I had my lens on Macro and by the time I switched it over, he flew away. So he didn't get his meal and I didn't get the shot.

Great story Robin!! I've heard of hawks snapping up small purse pooches...but, never trying to make off with a full grown person!!

Excellent picture....great clarity and color. I really like the veins that come out from the center.

Super story and wonderful capture - like Terri I like the veins, they add real character

(Indeed I can go home tonight and stun Linda by telling her the blue flowers she recently planted are called Pentunias....... she probably knows already but it will stun her that I do also!!!)

John

Don't be too quick to tell her its a Petunia John, as she may tell you its not...

Do a google images on Petunia and you will see why...

Google viola or pansy and then tell her.

Jono

Oh yes.. Robin super colours on of my favourite little flowers.

Thanks guys for looking.
As first glance to the hawk I was scared, he was about 5 1/2 to 6 feet above me.
As for the flower - I don't know names and species unless I ask my Mother-in-Law or Jan.

But Jono is right is it a Pansy. I will fix it the title.

Brilliant .... Robin you are as bad as me .......... sadly too late to turn back time - Linda told me I was wrong (again) - thanks for trying Jono but too late........ hey ho!
