Avians and Nature

A departing purple heron and a perching milky stork. Contrasting actions and bubble-like leaves complete the image. She weaved her magic again. Or did Jeff create what he wanted to see?

Still recall with great clarity moments before this image was made at another location. The spot where these feathered creatures have chosen to propagate is nothing but infested with homosapiens, smack in the centre of a popular tourist attraction. The good news is due to the extreme elevation, most would give it a miss but for one who trot around with a super on his back uncamouflaged, it's unwelcomed attention.

It all began with the lady asking if she could peer through my viewfinder and of course the kindly Jeff obliged. The next moment almost had my weak heart leaped out of my tiny rib cage: she attempted to tilt the perfecty locked system to suit her perspective with the help of another! Jeff almost fainted on the spot. The good news was Jeff was able to swallow the freight and regained total control to contain damage. Just what were those folks thinking? My mind was racing like: what the hell were you thinking? Didn't you learn lever's rule in high school?!

Seems Jeff has yet to learn from his previous lesson: to keep the she out of the equation on his field trips. No exceptions. Simply no sense of dimension. Absolutely ZERO!
