Exotic Birds

Exotic to this Midwestern gal




Meet Harry, the Great Blue Heron

Yes, I name them



And Oscar, an Osprey






This is Sassy




And Patsy




Clover, the Plover

Corny, I know




The twin Ibis, Laura and Maura

The beach I visit is quite isolated

So I spend a great deal of time

With these birds that I love

So In Love


Can one fall in love

With a color they've always known?

Familiar, unappealing to me

Seen with new eyes

A new love

Is mine

So Much to Learn


I'm a macro kind of girl
I love color and detail
And
 Like the heron
Introverted and shy
 I enjoy
One-on-one
Up close and personal
In relationships and shooting
But I'm trying
So much to learn...

Lucky shot


Mostly luck

But I'll take it

It doesn't take much

To fill me with delight

Eye Candy



 Everywhere


In the sub-tropics


Vivid pockets of color


And new flowers to capture


All too much to gather in one day



Meant to be savored


The one I want to get close to is beyond my reach



My beloved plumeria

And its intoxicating fragrance...

Siesta

We are in sunny Florida

Where is not only sunny but hot & humid



This little guy basks in the sunny warmth to rest

While we escape

To the cool air conditioned condo

For our afternoon siesta

Captivating

Island Sunset


This is the life

I'd love to live every day

But

I'll be happy to live it just for today

Glorious Spring


Filled with so much lovliness


I hardly blogged through it


Because I was so captivated by its beauty


Wandering and shooting


with a burning desire to capture it all



My family believes me to have gone off the deep end



Truth be told


I've never been better



What a glorious spring!
