Paula’s words are always interesting. I like how this month all her photos are black and white. Maybe next month I might throw in some monochromes. These words sent me down my usual nature trail with a few others who pop into my posts every now and then.
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…….
Some of these photos you may have seen before but they were in colour. A few favourite shadow photos plus some new ones
The Frangipanni tree the fence post a magical cast wonders for free
Looking ahead seeing behind travelling at speed being lead
Look but seeing thinking puzzling about being
Now you see come sit almost lunchtime you and me
A Wagtail there crumbs perhaps or splash look elsewhere
See within reflect without inside counts easy win
Looking deep no escape spirals of reality just sleep
Contentment lies balance again light and dark truth and lies
Moored again await adventure reflecting loss and pain
Put things back together repair no black
Little steps some are up some are down finding depths
Finding peace and harmony relax thoughts cease
There’s magic look wonder of nature just magic
I am sorry that this took so long for you to get through. It started and for once I let myself get carried away. Originally there photo of the reeds was the last one then words needed photos and photos needed words. Thanks for getting this far 🤗
