Watching Osprey at work is inspiring. They work hard, sometimes hovering in the wind for long periods of time, finding nothing. When they do dive, they usually submerge, sinking at least one set of talons into an unsuspected fish, shaking their head at the surface to clear their vision they fight to get airborne with the added weight of their prey if they were successful.
Sometimes pelicans attempt to steal the prey and on occasion, have been seen to attack the osprey to get them to drop their fish. If it's bald eagle territory, eagles will chase the osprey threatening them with an airborne attack and usually getting them to drop the fish. It can be a touch way to make a living! I chose this image to share because I like the eye contact, usually focused down during a dive.
Dive bombing the long grass
I suppose the ultimate would be to 'catch' the target in the photo at the same time
Never done it yet
But., as long as I can hold a camera I'll keep trying for that elusive shot

Recently I have been truly inspired by some true artists in here. The way they see things, their visions and how the things are executed by them are simply lovely. Within this piece, I tried to express the deepness that art can bring to us, the knowledge and content that it contains with it.

Der frühe Vogel fängt den Wurm.. oder so in der Art.
Dieses Blässhuhn war schon früh aktiv und hat sich sein Frühstück besorgt. Es war noch ziemlich dunkel und dazu leicht nebelig auf dem Wasser..
