A Birds View...

The Perfect Spot

My iTunes: Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol

Hey friends...

WOW...things have been crazy since I have been traveling quite a bit. Sometimes my internet connections are good, sometimes not. I am glad to be able to post tonight. I am having some serious blogging withdraw and have really appreciated all your comments despite all the days of quiet over here on my site. :)

As for my pic above...I like the simplicity of it. That is why I am posting all by itself. I took this in Italy while we rode in a water taxi from the little island of Murano back to Venice. This bird perched high up looked very intent on watching all the goings-on in all the lanes of water traffic. And as I clicked through my photos of this trip this one stood out as one of my favorites. I hope that you all are fond of it too!

Have a good Wednesday!

I very much like this shot. It's starkly simple...but has plenty going on to keep yoru mind busy.

Hope things settle down soon...but not so much as to be boring.

I like the sepia here. You are right it is a simple shot, but lovely.

Anna said...

I like it....although the bird seems kinda lonely. Well we're now on the same side of the ocean. That doesn't make me miss you guys any less though!!!!!

gaz said...

very nice shot.

Nabeel said...

great photo, I love it. Was any color correction done to this? The brown hue all over is just perfect. Was it taken in a desert area?

Kyle said...

diet coke is my favorite too!

Ginger Beer was just this impulse buy that ended up being pretty unique and fun, which is probably why I liked it. I think if it was served to me everyday I might not like it as much.

As for Margaritas . . .

by the way, I love this picture. It was has a very vintage quality to it.

Kay Dennison said...

Great photo -- it's simplicity is the source of its beauty.

Abhishek said...

you have the prettiest pictures and the best profile description that i have ever read. There is nothing amateurish about your pictures than the fact that you probably don't get paid for taking them! I am subscribing to you on my rss reader.

Joel Reynolds said...

Awesome shot, Anna. I love the treatment!

This is one of my favorite as well, Anna. Somehow, the relationship of the lonely bird with the planet-like sphere speaks to me. I like how you strip a scene down to its basics through exceptional composition....it really gets the mind involved in the image.

Safe travels!
