I’ll meet you at the park

It was exhilarating watching these two dogs meat each other in the local park.

They literally jumped with joy – right out of my picture but I couldn’t leave this shot out of the series.

Born with wings

I’m usually too slow to photograph birds in flight. So I appreciated the strong winds that held the seagulls in a steady position. Also thanks to the kestrels I’ve photographed over the years – their hovering made it easier.

And I am adding this photo of these great egrets who were visiting for a few days on their way south for the winter. They didn’t let me get close enough for a good shot but I managed to snap them taking.

In limbo

To float, to fly – to fly, perchance to drop – ay, there’s the rub, for where to land and lay and whither in the bitter cold?

“Autumn leaves don’t fall, they fly. They take their time and wander on this their only chance to soar.”
