Bird Watch
“Birds” have been my favorite subject lately. For no particular reason, I’ve been taking plenty of bird photos. They just fascinate me!
Last weekend, the hub and I went to the city to check out the local farmers’ market and have lunch. We were headed to the waterfront—an area inhabited by lots of birds. I started taking photos of the birds around, while the hub patiently waited. He too, took a few photos himself.
On the way home after lunch, I wanted to stop by the Marina to check out a park that we haven’t visited before. The park, called Crissy Field, is home to some of San Francisco’s historical landmarks, like an old military airfield and Fort Point—a fort built in the 1850’s used to defend the Bay during the American Civil war.
While the hub checked out the exhibits at the fort, I was out taking photos of birds—again. The hub later said, “you probably have over 50 photos of birds in there”. I said, “no way!” So he took the camera, started scrolling through the photos, and pointed out, “that’s one…that’s two…that’s three…” and so on. Ok then—I did take lots of bird photos, but I took a few shots of the fort relics too!
Just thought I’d share some of my bird photos here.
If I can see it, then I can do it...
Sometimes silence can seem so loud...
There are miracles in life I must achieve...
But first I know it starts inside of me...
Just spread my wings and fly away...

thanks for sharing liz. these are postcard-perfect. and very sharp, i could almost touch them. =)
liz, they're beautiful!!! i can't decide which one i like best!. your post reminded me of the many bird photos i took in sydney. my hubby and my sis also said the same thing as your hubby. but i would have to say, your shots are way better than mine. you have very good composition.
They're all nice especially the bird with the SF bridge as backdrop.
awesome photos, as usual, cuz! my favorite is the fourth one.
nakatawa ko when charles started counting the pictures... ka-kyut ninyo uy! hehe.
Salamat Ai! I owe the sharpness to the tripod. Even if there was adequate light I still used a tripod. Makaulaw kuno ko ingon akong bana, hehe. But I think it still made a difference.
Thanks Keth! You should also share your bird photos para kakita sad mi unsa'y nawong sa bird sa Australia, hehe! I miss the birds from the Philippines--they're smaller but more colorful.
Mai, I actually edited the 4th photo--with the Golden Gate background because the bird didn't come out very sharp. It was starting to get dark when I took that.
Thank you cuz! Always nice to get compliments from you. Hehe, reklamo si Charles nga wala daw variety akong photos--puro daw birds, and all the birds kuno are staying put. Dili daw challenging. He said I should take a photo of a bird flying! I couldn't do it--it was starting to get dark and it was hard to freeze the bird, so Charles actually took that last photo--that's not mine!
Charles is my greatest [and most honest] critic, hehe.
yes, aileen is right liz, very sharp photos... and yes charles did a good job on that last one, that's definitely a challenge.
lovely photos again here liz.
ako pa ni charles, magpa langam langam pud siya para kuha an pud nimo siya picture. (joke) peace charles.
