There were nearly as many birdwatchers as baby birds at the Belle Isle Marsh this weekend. And I’m not sure the birds were pleased.

One day a mallard stepped out of the water onto a rock and began to preen.
So tame was it, or so quiet I, that it did not seem to mind that I watched the scene.
I braced myself in the bright, hot sun and took photo after photo with the goal,
I think, to be surprised, to see what might be revealed by this creature in the shoal.
Later I’d discover that most of the pictures were not good but in the moment I did not mind.
I’d had my time with mallard who, I like to think, bowed his head deep at our parting in the ways of his kind.

art by jordan
What brightens a long day? Arriving home to a big envelope. At first, I was thinking , “Oh, heck. What could this be?” I flip over the envelope and see the magic words. “Love Jordan.” My nephew and in the kids postcard club. He’s not even half a dozen years old yet though he almost looks like he’s twelve. I exaggerate only a bit. I’m not sure if he’s ready for a stationery kit like Maya but I told his parents to let him know that since he sent me a beautiful flower I am planning to send him a hummingbird (postcard).
More about this photo in a future post. Take care. 😉
thank you

I thought I’d take a moment to say thank you. Thank you for viewing this blog. Thank you for the comments that I don’t always respond to but I read and enjoy every one. And most of all thanks for the support and encouragement on this creative journey. Have a wonderful day. 😉
and again the birds …

… these along the famed Charles Bridge.
You can learn a bit more about the Charles Bridge here:Â https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Bridge.
There were so many people massed about the statues along the Charles Bridge, photographing the statues and the birds, that I began to train my camera into the surrounding landscape.
And then in quiet spots I’d train my camera on the statues once more.
It must be one of the most photographed and painted places in the world. Even if you aren’t able to visit yourself, there are many beautiful images out there to be viewed in books and online. Enjoy.
and the little bird in merrion square
