Pair...a set of two things together, regarded as a unit.
I began photographing wildlife when my two children were no longer willing subjects. I started with a backyard bird here and a random squirrel there and soon found myself walking trails and wandering streams whenever possible. I feel especially privileged when I encounter two of a kind, a matching pair.
