Description

Trying to get any shot of these birds was almost impossible. They were SO high on these thermals, I nearly fell over backwards shooting straight up. There were dozens of them--soaring, gliding, free!!!

I love buzzards and always try to get shots of them overhead but they seem to sore higher and higher until they finally glide out of sight before I can get a single photo! :-)

ahhh but Marilyn think of the joy you bring, with the bright blue sky and giving those of us who live in colder climes just a glimpse of summer and warmth - thank you my friend - hugs Jane xx

I agree with Mick, just lie down, it takes the strain of your neck. Then again it depends 'where you are', you don't want to be doing that with a crowd around, they'd be turning up in white coats to carry you off. Excellent capture none the less, I think I would have cropped the white out though Marilyn. The blue of the sky is fantastic, like Jane says, it gives us a warm glow in colder climes. Bravo!!!!!

What a wondrous shot! Almost abstract in the colours, but the birds give it depth. Mindblowing!

I almost fell over backwards just looking at them. If you would hjave been lying down and they carried off I can just imagine what you might have captured. Great shot.
