Day 365 - a Year by the Sea

December 31, 2007 by OrientSee.

Today started with wet snow and cold wind. The sky was overcast and I had little hope of seeing much today. I went over to the far side of the marsh. Then, the sun pushed through the clouds and I found this Kestrel sitting at his lunch. He let me approach quite closely as he was busy eating and keeping a close eye on some crows nearby. His beauty is very evident.

It has been a year since I started doing this blog. At first I took photos in different places but soon I realized that Belle Isle Marsh is my favorite place. I also quickly learned to keep my hands out of my pockets and my head up (if you ever hope to photograph birds and wild things). Each day has given me something unique to witness and share. Every day that I spent some part of outside has been a real gift. So, I will keep on doing this. It is my daily meditation. Thanks for coming along and I hope that there will be plenty more photos of herons, egrets, grass and flowers.

Ciao!
