So much "me" in the above picture. :) Probably the very reason why I hardly have the motivation to write or update this blog since I don't know when is because I am spending so much time out of the doors. I hardly have time to look at the pictures I captured. I hardly have time to get to computer when am home. I have been so busy in such a very joyful way, enjoying so much me time outdoors. Haha!
Anyway, let me share with you my most recent joy. It is this joy that motivated me to spend some time sitting down to enjoy the pictures I took. Since I have been drawn to birding last year, I kept on wishing to catch an osprey with a fish. It's not at all easy, but no wish, no carrot on the stick to keep us going. Since finding the joy in birding, I had been doing a lot of yoga exercises to strengthen my shoulders and back because of the heavy weight of the camera + fast telephoto lens I carry in my backpack when we hike. Yesterday was finally my lucky day. I was able to witness male osprey bringing fish to his family. Here are some of the pictures of osprey from yesterday.

One of my birding wishes granted. Joy, joy, joy!!!! Now, maybe it's time to go back snorkeling to chase not only the birds flying up high but also the fishes in the wonderful underwater kingdom.
I always love how joyful look when you are spending time with nature Beth. So happy you had your birding wish granted, you must be thrilled!
ReplyDeleteBrought the kids at the botanical gardens last Saturday, K and G had so much fun feeding turtles and fishes and we had a few lizard sightings too (small, medium, large). Still contemplating if i blog about it since i am too lazy to write to these days. :)
Have a great week ahead to you and KTL...
Amazing shots and capture, Betchai! These photos are precious!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots, Betchai! I love the picture of the Osprey family up in their nest. It just shows that all creatures are loving parents.

ReplyDeleteYour lovely as flowers :) , i love those beautiful shots of birds!
ReplyDeleteYour "me" pictures with the colorful flowers are so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThat osprey looked so fierce! But I think it would be fun to have an interaction with them but I'm a bit scared to even touch it! I think I'm okay with the pictures and just look at it.. :D
ReplyDeleteSuch a wonderful, one of a kind experience. As always, your pics are awesome. I wish I can spend as much time outdoors as you do. It's the best time of the year to enjoy the great outdoors:-)
ReplyDeleteGetting to be outdoors is the really good thing. Blogging is a fun secondary thing to that.
ReplyDeleteI love when you talk about your 'Me' time betchai, you are so cheerful and beautiful like those flowers in the garden. :) And I am so glad - you caught the osprey! How exciting! I can never capture such pictures, only dream, and that is why I have more reasons to thank you for bringing these to me. Thanks for sharing all your adventures, betchai.
