The birds

A quick shot before the day begins. Before even the words begin. When the sun, for a brief moment shines before it leaves the stage for rain. I am no bird shooter, standing on the balcony behind the kitchen with the small prime in my hand. I seek out moments.

While I was returning from work, we had the most beautiful light here. Layer upon layer of cloud in all shades, and ranging from white to black, patches of beautiful blue on another side, a sun low upon the horizon, casting the longest shadows, the perfect bit of wind... I paused to watch. I recorded the images in my head. I haven't shot in this kind of light in a long time.
