Couldn't resist another Western Bluebird shot from this morning. The chicks are still hanging around and getting fed by the parental units, but they are flying quite a bit on their own. Such a gift watching them so close.
Thanks for all your kind words on my post yesterday. We heard from Gene and Sherri's daughter tonight: Gene is in ICU and is heavily sedated, but they are cautiously optimistic. Jenn and I plan on visiting them this week. Life is crazy hard sometimes, yet beautiful still.
Soooo, after a successful go ‘round way back in 2011 and a couple lackluster attempts thereafter, I’m back....maybe. ;-)
Lastly, this place always rocked. So much...
Spectacular, Heather. It's like an Audubon drawing. Another wonderful work of art. Glad to hear the surfer is hanging in there. Hope his recovery continues.
Oh that wingspread, that worm, that little open mouth. A truly remarkable capture, Heather. And then, of course, there's the stellar processing. A fav for me.
Amazing capture & processing Heather.....my first thought too was that it looks like an art print! Pure excellence!
Thanks so much for your kind comments and favs yesterday...you really did brighten my day and regarding your question on what I used for HDR??? I cheat, I don't do multiple exposures since I haven't figured that out yet....just playing around with different programs....mostly Nik color/HDR effects & Topaz lately! I feel like I'm cheating when I use them but I'm hopelessly addicted to the endless variations I can come up with using these tools.
LOVE.THIS.SO.MUCH. Healing loving thoughts for your friend also....love this quote "Life is crazy hard sometimes, yet beautiful still." Finding beauty during the hardest times in life is what keeps us living...one foot in front of the other. Tons o' love from this part of our planet *heart*
Really beautiful result!! Fav to me. Thank you!
