The Osprey...

[jprzybyla]

I got out this morning. The weatherman was promising sunny skies by 10 AM, never happened. It was a cold and damp 60 degrees ( I know but cold when one is used to 90 degrees ) with heavy overcast... misting at times. My heart was not into photography but on the way out I caught this Osprey landing with breakfast. These images made the couple hours outside worth doing. C&C welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

Weather and nothingness, happens here all the time.

Nice set of my favourite summer bird. Good landing catch.

Very nice. Was it your heart or your limbs that wasn't into it?

What an exciting series, Joe! I'm certainly glad you decided to brave the cold and share the results of the Osprey's fishing trip. Boy, you sure make it hard for me to pick a favorite!

Love Ospreys. Wish I could see more of them. These are very good Joe and I certainly would have been happy if that was all I came home with too.

Hello John, the heart is always into it. After four years of doing this almost everyday either capturing or post processing images the next day is like the first. When I have a field trip planned I am eager to discover what will present to be photographed. I hate cloudy days in Florida so the attitude was a little off.
