I like the way that a breeze can add a little distinction to a portrait.
The crest on this White-faced Heron portrait is reminding me of something but I can’t quite think what it is.
I enjoy watching these herons as they hunt. This shot was taken at the Western Treatment Plant but sometimes they come right up to my study window. When they spot a delightful looking morsel (otherwise known as a hapless skink or something equally tasty) they sway their necks from side to side before striking.
The background in this shot adds a kind of mystical aura to the portrait.
The torrid saga continues, and I continue to be grateful for so much support.
Happy birding, Kim

Such a magnificent bird, and an amazing shot of their fancy Mohawk ☺️
Maybe that’s what it was reminding me of! 🙂
Thank you Kim 🙂 I’ve never noticed them swaying their necks before they strike – I will watch with interest from now on!

It pretty mesmerising to watch Fiona. I hope you get to see it soon, let me know!

I think this beautiful quote says it all. Birds are the messengers of hope reminding us to keep our dreams alive.
So I think this very magical White-faced heron with the very trendy ‘hairstyle’ is sending you this message.
“Allow the winds of today to carry away your troubles from yesterday so you can enjoy all your tomorrows.”
Bird lovers know that our feathered friends fight every day to stay alive protecting their loved ones and their home and as you share their world in the most magical and wonderful way you are keeping their dreams alive. Together you make the world a better place.
I always enjoy your meaningful quotes Barbara, thank you. Keeping our dreams alive and enjoying our tomorrows are both so important aren’t they.
