Admiring the sunset

Hi, folks.

One of the most beautiful things in the nature is the sunset. Late in the afternoon, many people come together with friends or even alone to admire (or take a picture of) the sun hiding behind a lake, a mountain, a sea or even in the city. This magical moment has been repeating every day, and it's still wonderful. And I have a witness to prove it.





 
This lady was behind me to see what I was doing with my camera. Some minutes later, she moved away and stopped to watch de sunset.


See you soon.

Strolling in the park

Hi, folks.

Today I want to show you a few photos that I took in the "Parc Départemental de la Haute Ile".
As the day was great, my wife and son came with me and we strolled in the park.

Angry bird



Hello, folks.

Aaahh l'amour!

When you are young and you have a girlfriend, you want to show her that you are strong and you will save her from any kind of danger. Well, animals do the same. This young swan wanted to protect his girl from me (I was just taking some picture of other birds on the lake). 



He walked on my direction very slowly. I heard him approaching, so I decided to get away while taking its picture.



He stopped and looked at my eyes: “if you get closer to my girl again, I'll kill you”. 


Well, I moved away and I continued to take other pictures. But I was still on its territory. And suddenly....



Fortunately nothing happened, but when I saw its beak near my camera, it was like participating of  Steven Spielberg's Jaw film. A super adventure.


See you soon.
