Birds and Wildflowers
Wildflowers are blooming!
And I’ve been enjoying seeing (and hearing) lots of birds being active everywhere. This is the time of year where I particularly love to get close to the ground to appreciate all the small beings putting out their petals and colours. My latest nature stroll was on a full-sun day, so I tried to capture that vibe and celebrate the intense light and shadows.
I hope you enjoy the view!
