from one bird to another

Pay attention every bird, the camera lady is coming back! Fluff up your feathers and clean your beaks we want to look our best when she arrives. Hey you at the end of the row, are you listening to me?

anhinga's point of view

Dig deep, lot's of goodies just under the surface. Get brave uncover yourself.

and slow it goes

Sometimes when you close your eyes softly and peak through your lashes you see the world a bit differently. The work is in convincing my camera to see the way I do. 

Made my day!

love the one you're with

Sun at my back, camera in my hands, tern flying by, happiness.

between the lines

There are so many ways to see a new morning...

fishermen

If you want to be a member of this group you;

#1  have to be willing to get up in the dark

#2  like to get your feet wet

#3  don't mind getting stuck with hooks

#4  willing to drop your pole in order to help your friend who did get stuck with a hook

#5  willing to put up with the lady photographer who seems to always be in your space

#6  like to eat fish

ocean

It's never the same, always coming in and going out. Then the light changes and it feels all warm and frothy. Another early morning at the beach. 

I see me

The energy is palpable when I'm in the zone with my camera.

sun kissed

What you don't see is the pair of dolphins breaching out in the surf, twisting their bodies to touch the rising sun, joyful and filled with early morning energy. Dancers in my mist.

What you do see are the shorebirds that make room for me as I walk with my tripod.

It was a very busy morning today.

reflect upon it

Even when I'm shooting reflections in the bay I still see birds. Do you?

beginnings

My early mornings at the beach have happily begun. This image however is from last year, all soft and glowing and painterly. I love being there with the fishermen, the birds, the dogs and their people and my mug of coffee. I love being where the sun is when I start my day...
