An Unbroken Rhythm

High above our worries and uncertain horizons, nature moves forward—timeless, unperturbed, and entirely of itself.

 

Osprey Saga. A Look at Growing Ospreys

 

Growing by leaps and bounds, the young Ospreys frequently exercise their large, strong wings. 

They can’t fly yet—though their father will soon teach them to fly and hunt—but they can lift off for a few seconds to move around the nest.

After a high leap, a young osprey joined its siblings, spreading its mighty wings to show itself off to the world in all its glory.

Generally, life is good.

Silent Conversation

 

By removing the color and introducing a strong contrast, I discovered something I hadn't noticed before—the silence. Light became the only voice.

I never intended to spend this much time exploring black and white photography. It began as a simple experiment, but I’m finding so much joy in the process that I’m happy to just let it run its course to the end. 

Tree-trunk Crocodile

 

A small "crocodile" was dozing on the bent trunk of a dead tree. Looking closely, I realized I hadn't imagined  him; the "crocodile" had indeed settled comfortably on the wood, his eyes were slightly open.

When autumn will come, it envelops the crocodile in cold and wind but he will still be dozing. In winter,  snow will cover him with a snow-white blanket, but the crocodile will not awake from his long winter slumber.   Spring will touch the crocodile with the warm sun rays, he will squint his eyes from the light, and fall asleep again.  An eternally dozing crocodile.
