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.

I just love this picture dancin' fool, full of peace and quiet.
ReplyDeleteSorry that was me being quick off the mark with my trigger finger. I did not get to sign the comment, mind two endorsements are better that one lovely picture.
ReplyDeleteHello Bowledover, thank you, twice! They are such impressive creatures and were practising their bellowing when we saw them!
ReplyDeleteOh! I love this photo! So beautiful and peaceful. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHello Literary Feline, and thank you!
ReplyDeleteWow! I wish I could take such a photo! Great one! I've had the oportunity to be standing just a couple of feet away from a hind (the female of the deer, that is) once - we just looked at each other for a couple of moments and then she decided to run away. Unfortunately I didn't have my camera then. Well, even if I did have it, taking a photo in such a moment would scare the animal away and I sure preferred to enjoy that unique moment than to ruin it :-)
ReplyDeleteHey Wolf! Good to hear from you. I agree about the deer moment. Sometimes you have to enjoy it and keep it in your memoery rather than on film.
