When we go to Ouabache State Park, it's usually in the afternoon; and we leave about 5 PM or so to go get supper at our favorite restaurant. Last Friday, though, on the spur of the moment, we went to the park around mid-afternoon and took our supper with us to enjoy later.
Toward dusk, the birds became more active. We'd hardly seen any before that. So the following pictures aren't the greatest quality because of the low light and the amount of zoom required. Still, I thought they were worth sharing.
This young Eastern Bluebird was hovering above the ground.

ReplyDeleteHi Linda, you made my day with this post! My favourite time of day is dusk...when the sun goes down, and I just love sunsets. Yours here is magical! I also love birds. Thank you so much for sharing.

Love the pink sky a silhouettes of the towers. Your hovering bird is one of the best captures I have seen lately...no blurring of the wings...great shot. :)
ReplyDeleteI like the second bluebird, it's a cute photo, and the sunset is beautiful. Well and a little bit metaphorical, isn't it, telling the story of nature and/versus technology. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sunset shot and great perspective with the towers. But I love that hovering bird. :)
