Focus on the good things.

This is an ever so slightly out of focus greater yellowlegs. In the background is part of a more in focus black neck stilt. Surrounding them both is water and reflections. Put it all together and it's not hard to look at.

"Often referred to as a “marshpiper” for its habit of wading in deeper water than other sandpipers, the Greater Yellowlegs is heftier and longer-billed than its lookalike, the Lesser Yellowlegs. Greater Yellowlegs are seen mostly during migration, as they pass between nesting grounds in the mosquito-ridden bogs of boreal Canada and wintering territories on marshes across the southern tier of the United States. With its flashy yellow legs, sturdy bill, and deliberate gait, it cuts a dashing, often solitary, figure on mudflats from coast to coast." - allaboutbirds.org
