I’ve been a bit busy this week and haven’t had time to post my favorite photo from last weekend—sorry about that! So here it is.
I like this one because of the hummingbird’s pose; it looks as if it was observing me.
All comments published on this blog are simply my observations and opinions about the vast world of photography.
They may be right or wrong—nothing more.

Here’s something interesting: during our visit to the local zoo, we spotted a barred owl perched in a tree — right inside the open enclosure where the barred owls were on display.
I’ve also spotted a few other birds in the area around the zoo — species that are usually quite hard to find there. It seems like the zoo’s environment attracts a surprising variety of wildlife beyond the exhibits themselves.
Last weekend, I took three pictures of a squirrel that I absolutely love. To me, the lighting and composition were perfect, and the squirrel was posing like a pro.
I know this may not seem related to photography, but in a way, it is. Many animals that are extinct today are on that list because of us humans. I can’t help but wonder—if hunters traded their guns for cameras, could that help stop the list from growing?
On the other hand, watching the video of these lovely Dire Wolves, I can’t help but think how much I’d love to photograph them!
This is a picture from last weekend’s photoshoot. Of course, while I was looking through the viewfinder, I didn’t notice the bug in the beak—it was only during post-editing that I spotted it.
I’ve been following a couple of Sandhill Cranes to see where they were nesting, and last weekend, I finally found the spot. I have to say, these guys are late, because by now, most of them already have babies.
They chose a spot on a small island close to the shore of the lake—hidden and safe from predators living around the area.
Nature is my sanctuary. When I'm outside in nature, I feel like I'm visiting a church. The calm I receive is similar, and I feel it’s healing. This is why I completely agree with Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales when she said:
Quote: "Over the past year, nature has been our sanctuary.
This Mother's Day, let us celebrate Mother Nature and recognize how our bond with the natural world can help not only nurture our inner selves, but remind us too of the role we play within the rich tapestry of life,"

Last weekend, I had the opportunity to capture this photo of Sandhill Cranes flying over Crews Lake.

This image highlights the importance of being ready to take a shot at any moment. You must know your camera well to react quickly; otherwise, you may miss those fleeting opportunities that nature offers and that may never come again.
Another one of this unique pictures could be this one showing the dance of a crane.
