Simple Subjects, Simple photos

Perhaps I had been pixel-peeping too much… Perhaps it was just the mood of the afternoon… Perhaps I was just tired from work… I just felt like making photos that were not too technical, not too perfect, and not too planned.

Now, looking at these four pictures, I realize they are the sights I welcome when I come home this time of the year: warm sun in the mountains, young flowers and leaves, birds that have befriended me after sharing my fruit with them for years.

Happy Holidays!

The characteristic silhouette of the Blue-crowned Motmot in late afternoon. They are proficient hunters but love eating bananas too.

  1. To me a good composition is worth so much more than anything else in art. If the composition compels me, while I have may interest in the technical/learned skills as a photographer, it’s the result and the art that touches me. Pretty pictures and well seen
