This was taken a few days before they fledged, you can hear dad calling to them soon before showing up with their yum yums! I had to delete the previous video, it cut off just before the dad showed up to feed them. My apologies to anyone who may have commented

Mother's Day #28 by ❤️ The World of Tamara ❤️

A ballad in which I had my thoughts about my deceased mother written as lyrics. It's a bit sad but I think it turned out beautifully anyway. As always, there may be translation errors, please accept my apologies.

I chose the beautiful place “Oasis” as the filming location again, you will see why.

Nature Resort De Avelingen's Merry Encounter (III) by СВЕТЛОПИСИ И ХОДОЧАШЋА

PURE PLAY, inspired by the setting sun. There is hardly any practical functionality in this behaviour of wild geese. The end of the first March day this year.

Took my old E-M1 gen.1 with me, with stills on my mind. The camera has poor video, but the scene was irresistible.

Wild geese make a distinct sound and have a demeanour which is not always the same. I often hear them at night, when they fly in small groups low above my flat 25 m high. Then it's more like navigating, a kind of sound radar. Or encouraging each other. Yesterday evening (5 March, not this recording) I was late coming back from the river shore, and the geese had been conspicuously calm for an hour... when I was at the middle of that big field populated by them, it was almost completely dark already. Camera already packed in my bag. Then something like exploded. The whole flock of around thousand or more wild geese put up a play for me. They suddenly burst into flight from the field on my right hand side and flew right over my head to the other half of the field where they all majestically landed. It was a sound of the thunder, all those huge wings flapping above me and the geese honking and calling. Like ƒƒƒ tutti of a large symphony orchestra. There were many many more birds than could fit in my lens even if I had the camera ready and small µ4/3 sensor somehow probing the dark. –Maybe I should take a sound recorder with me the next time... :)))

The occurrence on March 5th (not the modest one filmed here) brings me to my photographic Murphy's law: My greatest pics and videos are the ones I did not take. That's a rule that's haunting me for years and decades; my whole life actually. Like that one in the caption, just four days after this recorded clip. Please read the paragraph above, it does not pertain to the video clip above. Somehow, the birds always wait just enough —5 or 15 minutes after the sunset— for the light to fade out and then they appear in majestic formations and formidable numbers, to perform their low passes, big turns, amplified rhythmic calls, terrific landings and what not. Exactly that fraction too late when I can NOT film them any more with my modest µ4/3 gear, but can still observe the spectacle. No, they don't do it to spite me; it's just to keep their worthiest artistry beyond our proud-spirited set of captured things. It's rewarding enough to witness them. I am humbled and remain with my reoccurring phenomenon. Birds appearing just before sunrise or just after sunset with the regularity of Newton's physical laws.

Similar with the people :)

P. S. Contemplating the purchase of the G9 Mark II ever since... Now you know it's not the GAS (gear acquisition syndrome), but the GIS (gees inspired syndrome).
