Day 217

My favorite type of birds are the hawks, they are the coolest. Their piercing eyes always looking for the next meal, the way they fly effortlessly and swoop and grab dinner. I am fascinated by them, so I always look to the trees and sky and phone poles to see if any are hanging around, I always try to get a photo of them but usually by the time I stop and try to get a little close they fly away, so today was a bit of a treat when this osprey paid no attention to me at all and I was able to get some shots, now I just have to get over my fear they are going to swoop down and take my camera just for fun.

"While there is perhaps a province in which the photograph can tell us nothing more than what we see with our own eyes, there is another in which it proves to us how little our eyes permit us to see."  ~Dorothea Lange
