Reflection + TECH

Apologies it's another stock image, itching to get back out with my camera now. Cvoid jabs day today instead! This is a Snowy Egret photographed on a darm stream in the Everglades, Florida. It's one of my oldest images that i've kept. I believe it delivers on both reflection and low key?

Thank you! It was a birding set-up, 500ml lens, auto-focus, remote trigger, tripod and gimble head out of a velux window on a bright moonlit night :) Moderate cropping but pretty much the only sharp image out of about 50 attempts!

A Pair of Sulphur-winged Parakeets feeding in dense shrubbery taken on a trip to Panama in 2017 for my wife's big birthday. Can wait to get travelling again!

Rock/Stone

Been wondering what on earth to photograph this week when towards the end of our walk today, as we crossed Abbotshaugh Bridge, i spied this. It's a two-fer in terms of the theme and also part of growing number of randomly distributed positive messages hereabouts, which i think is a wonderful idea.
