Sitting atop St. Francis

I think this was a mockingbird sitting on top of a statue of St. Francis.

*****

We went back to the Franciscan Monastery in NE Washington because last year there had been lots of butterflies in their garden, and quite frankly, because we couldn’t go anywhere else due to street closures everywhere for protests and other major gardens still being closed on account of the pandemic.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.

He choosed his support carefully, as Sint Francis is the protector of animals. Great capture.
