BIRDS
Birds are such mysterious creatures. They can seem so far away and out of reach, and at the same time appear right underneath our noses when we least expect it. As I have encountered birds with my camera, I have been able to find them in some of those “out of reach” places and I have also been delighted to be able to photograph them in my own backyard. And in both cases, my lenses strive to find the light in their eyes.
