I am an opportunistic photographer. I carry my camera, I am open to possibilities.
Sometimes I just get lucky.
Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.

#FavouriteoftheMonth is the #BirdoftheDay, and a few contenders as I browsed through, but getting some better BIF shots with my new camera/lens combo I think it has to be this one. A Snowy Egret in flight towards the low sun. #Birds 🪶 #EastCoastKin #Nature #Wildlife #BirdsofBlueSky

I missed WordlessWednesday, so I checked a thesaurus & found that we could have a #TongueTiedThursday (or Tuesday), as well as a MuteMonday, SpeechlessSaturday & SilentSunday. & maybe even an InarticulateFriday, but I won't hold my breath for them.
anyway, here's some bleeding hearts

A pod of pelicans are trying to 'encourage' its fellow pelican into sharing the fish it has caught. On of my fav photos from last year.
