Echoes of Stillness

 

The trees sway, the colors blend, and for a moment, time feels suspended—just a glimpse of calm before everything changes again.

Generally, life is good.

On the Wings. Weather and Mood

It's a dark overcast morning and there is not enough light to photograph birds in flight.

As luck would have it, one flock of ducks after another takes off.  My shutter speed is slow but I shoot anyway and get blurry ducks.  To my surprise, I like what is happening. 

My first experience with motion blur was completely unexpected and taught me a very important lesson: when there is not enough light, you don't have to despair.

I am always delighted when a male Mallard in flight covers itself with its wings like a cloak.

This Wood duck is sharp, but luckily the tips of its wings are blurred.

Mallards are always beautiful in flight.

Generally, life is good.
