I have been reminded, many times throughout life, not to create expectations. To let it go, to give where I am needed, to think of myself less.. There is so much beauty here. These were shot with my new 50L, so, these birds were close to me, circling around the bay, existing in tumultuous weather – and I just happened to be there. Incredible happenings are all around us, and I’m happy with these. I’ve always seen beauty in common birds, nuisances, pigeons, doves, seagulls.. Do you see it?
This Eagle flew overhead unexpectedly, at the end of an evening when we were heading back from a walk. I am not even sure if this is a good photo, there are eagles here in Washington all around us, and I see the moon everyday! This moment though, for me, was pretty amazing. I felt a taste of the adrenaline I am always seeking when taking photos, an aliveness I won’t soon forget.. I am happy to share it with you.
