Who does not love birds?
For Cee this week – a nesting stork on top of an old church ruin in Spain.
Harpy Eagle (Americas)
I love those big birds of prey, like the Harpy. Frightening but beautiful. They call this bird the most cruel bird of prey.
Eagle owls are very big – and beautiful – too. These two shots are from Walsrode bird park, the biggest park in Europe (at least).
The light is coming back…
There is open water…
…and we are all just waiting…
…for Spring
Paula’s Trio! Not half as cute as her puffins…but they inspired me.
Yellow naped Amazon – Walsrode bird park
Paula’s word challenges are always fun – why not try it yourself? You do not have to use all the words – pick a word! Here are this week’s choices:
rectangular
interspersed
protuberant
innate
fluorescent
Very inquisitive…
While his little friend was eager to eat – keeping an eye on me…
It was a day of soft colours – silent and foggy with rising temperature. Rather lovely.
Magnificent Gran Canaria. Thinking of climate changes and how the tiniest changes in temperature will give massive domino effects. And already do. On everything living. There are examples all around you, if you just take the time to see them. Then imagine…
Just look at, for example, the importance of water – Some simple pictures from an ordinary vacation speak of what small changes in water supply can do to an arid island.
Just take away some water here…
…and this will be the result
Just add some water here…
…and this will be the result
Yes, they are simple examples – but things to consider if you find it difficult to see what is happening to our world. Nature is a Wonder of balance, and we must stop abusing her and disturbing the delicacy in which she is made. Which path do you want to follow – the ”fighting for a better world” or the simple ”adapting to whatever happens” one? Do we really have a choice? I think we have.
So, we are asked by Paula at Lost in Translation, to post again – our best shot from 2017. My choice are the few shots of Elliot’s Storm Petrel that I managed to catch from our boat in the Galapagos Islands. Long waiting and hundreds of shots – made for these two dancers. One photo in the shadow of the boat and the other on the sunny side. No perfection…but I treasure them very much.
Summer paints its last canvases – by the sea. Layers.
