Watching and waiting

Not much in the way of pictures at the moment. It's all watching, and waiting.........bit like life.

Common Blue, Little Egret, and a big flying thing. No idea what it was, but it was huge!!
.
Doctors later.....hospital much later.....November......and in the meantime I shall endeavour to catch up with everyone.

Enjoy the week

Sarah Knight said...

Those are all lovely photos, but I especially love the butterfly! That is a gorgeous shot!

Perhaps it was a cicada?

Joanna Durczok said...

I love the macro shots, Keith. The butterfly is wonderful - great depth of field:)

That's beautiful Common Blue Butterfly. So, its another 3 months 'till your next hospital, it'll be a long waiting time. Never mind, you have a nice time with nature.

Bobbster said...

All quiet down South also Keith. Like the Egret. We all have to be a bit patient as present I am sure soon things will liven up.

Thank you Roy. Hope you had a good time.

Sarah, thank you. I think the unknown flier is a hoverfly of some sort. It was big lol

Thank you Joanna. I’m glad there are some butterflies around at the moment, to make up for the lack of birds. ;)

Thanks for your comment Chris :)

Jen, thanks for your good wishes.
We get a lot of practice shooting in the rain, in this country lol

Thank you Wilma. He's becoming a regular at one of my local lakes, but he's very wary still.

Dixxe said...

SO at least now you know WHEN..some time to relax between now and then..
I love the Egret photo...the way his soft feathers are fluttering a bit thats so cool...and the marco's are awesome great focal point on that big EYE!
Dont discourage everything will come your way--

holdingmoments said...

Thanks Dixxe. Yea, finally got a date; but my doctor isn't happy, says it's too long, so he will chase them up.

Petra said...

I find the first photo perfect and very thought-provoking, Keith. Some time ago I was thinking hard about depth of field in photography and realized in how many ways you can see the depth in a scene...

Lenora Regan - ShootingWithSlinky.blogspot.com said...

Hi Keith! As always, amazing photographs. I love love love looking at your blog.

holdingmoments said...

Thank you Petra. It's always fun to experiment with depth of field I think.

Lenora, thank you for your comment. Glad you enjoy your visits :)

your pictures of the egret makes me want to get back to East Paris Park in Grand Rapids, by where I used to live. there were always a couple of grey herons and egrets there. so fun to watch!

holdingmoments said...

Thanks Doreen. The Egrets are such beautiful birds aren't they, with their snowy white plumage.
