Swarming

Description

I was over at the ranch recently to catch the sunrise on a cool Winter morning - With camera in one hand and a coffee in the other I noticed this amazing sight as the sun started to lighten the morning sky... Hundred of birds took to the sky flying back and forth around this lone tree..... I simply pushed the shutter button as I observed nature doing its thing!

Isn't it quite beautiful to be able to watch nature do her thing and all you have to do is push that button to bring it all home. Your early morning coffee and being out there in the morning to watch the sun come up has given you some of the most beautiful pictures that are award winning like this one. I love the lone tree, I love the colors of that sky, and I love the way the birds swarm back and forth. Breath taking in its beauty Jeff. Fantastic favorite for sure. #11437819
