Paula, I know what you mean. With the beauties of spring all around and a relatively new (3 months) part time job, I have to make choices and I opt for more time outside and with my husband. But I try to cram in as much blogging, both posting (daily) and visiting as I can.
But how do you know he was early? Maybe he was late for a previous evening engagement? You can never be sure with seagulls π You made me laugh. Thank you.
I love the look on its face. Is it saying “OK, I’m the early bird, but where’s the worm?” I’m going to do a word early bird, in black and white what’s more! My best early-birding was being early enough to beat the crowds at PlitviΔka and having all those waterfalls to myself for maybe two hours.
Maybe a kilometre. No it didn’t include entrance fee, but it was the whole house. I was probably down to catch the ferry somewhere between 7 and 8. And all that’s a year ago.
the early morning light is enough to bring Earth and its creatures to life but there are only shades of greys as we awaken. Nice photo, enjoy the week.

I just love this, the dappled bird on a dappled path. Lovely.

Yes, he does, cause he is a young bird; when he grows up he will get more proportional π

I like the way you processed this, desaturation on the edges? or was this shot this way? Nice either way.

There was no need for desaturation, just a bit of vignetting. Thank you very much.
