Sometimes you just get lucky. A mixed flock of Semi-palmated Plovers and Western Sandpipers landed high up on the beach to rest in the mid-afternoon sun. They allowed me to get fairly close. I thought this was a pretty cute pose of the two species resting comfortably next to each other.

Great job pulling both into your plane of focus Allen & I agree, a score of 9.9 on the cute scale cool

Excellent exposure, color, and details, very nice job on this devil

Very cute indeed, Allen. Great low angle and the poses really make this image.
