Camera Critters #4 - Buzzard
I grabbed this shot one day on our camping trip. The buzzard was a regular visitor to the field and had just delighted me with a close fly over. He hovered over my head for ages and I allowed myself the pleasure of just watching before I decided it was worth a mad dash for my camera and a quick lens change. My big lens takes better shots from the tripod as the small movements of my hand and breathing make for blurred images but I was pleased to be able to get this anyway.

What a great tree - I would be tempted to bed down in the hollowed out trunk and watch the clouds go by, the sun go down and the stars come out... That is as long as the hollowed out bit were free from insects and discarded beer cans!
ReplyDeleteHello. Let me tell you about this tree. The branch that comes down to the ground originates from 2m up the main stem; you can run under it with good head clearance.
ReplyDeleteThanks to research we are now able to accurately age trees, utilising data collected regarding the typical annual incremental growth for an oak tree grown in such a setting, and this tree has been aged as 1250 years old!
We work with what God gives us, what a good eye for balance and photography you have. Not only the pictuure of the tree, but the depth of feeling it evokes as well.
ReplyDeleteHello Bowledover! Thank you for your compliment. I have to say I did have the most amazing subject in this instance and thanks to the wonders of digital cameras also took 125 photos! xx
ReplyDeleteOnly 125, well now, you could of course produce your own book depicting Trees that I have visited.
ReplyDeleteI prefer Trees That I Have Known as a title.
That sounds like a good idea! I should certainly forward a picture to the official website for this tree, their picture does not do it justice.
