Ragtag Daily Prompt Wednesday: Unpredictable
I often am asked about taking photos of birds in particular and how do get such good, they say, photos. It is all about patience and being at the right place at the right time. Nature photography is unpredictable. You can will your subject to just do what you would like. Even something as simple as turn around but…….


Even from the back, it works. Heck, even the pole works. 😁

Dang birds. I guess that when we pretend how beautiful and photogenic the trees are, right? Lol. Just kidding. I am a total tree hugger.

Definitely one of my conundrums! Like today – I watched a bird enjoying its bath in a very small puddle created by the rain in my garden through the glass window but I was so mesmerized by the scene that by the time I thought of clicking a pic, the bird was done!

Some birds don’t enjoy voyeurs at bath time 😂
