Photos are meant to be shared
Recently, a family member of mine had purchased a 64’ Ford Galaxie and we went and took it for a ride. It was an enjoyable one and it felt like a trip back in time, as we drove out in the country. Enjoy!
When thoughts turn to majestic birds, the Osprey usually doesn’t come to mind. Almost as large as a Bald Eagle, it is a striking bird, especially when flying with its coloring. Dark on top with a white body and wings on the bottom that taper from white to dark wingtips and a head that is primarily white with bold black strips. It is a fish raptor and lives and nests near bodies of water including lakes at high elevations, and the northern and central pacific coast. This picture was taken at at about 8000 ft in the Sierra Nevada. Enjoy your day!!!!!!
Almost exactly one year ago (mid-February) I posted another photo of a juvenile Sharp-shinned Hawk, that I misidentified as a Coopers Hawk. The juvenile Sharp-shinned Hawk has narrower legs and a shorter neck. Again this year I was surprised to find one sitting on my fence. This was taken through my kitchen window, thankfully I had cleaned it a couple of weeks ago.
Vor fast genau einem Jahr (Mitte Februar) habe ich ein weiteres Foto eines jugendlichen, scharfhäutigen Falken gepostet, das ich fälschlicherweise als Coopers Hawk identifiziert habe. Der junge, scharfhäutige Falke hat schmalere Beine und einen kürzeren Hals. Auch in diesem Jahr war ich überrascht, einen auf meinem Zaun zu finden. Dies wurde durch mein Küchenfenster genommen, zum Glück hatte ich es vor ein paar Wochen gereinigt.
I walked through my neighborhood photographing blooming trees. I postproduction I created this image out of three images.
Enjoy and keep on photographing!
I thought the sunlight and shadows in this image beautifully brought out the veins in this leaf, while also presenting an interesting contrast. Enjoy!
