I am not considering myself a photographer, but just a photography lover. My preferred subject are flowers and nature, but recently I started to discover the beauty of taking pictures of birds.
It was January first, late in the morning (yes, I had a New Year Party, like many of us) when, while driving to visit mom, I had to stop my car to take a photo.
A beautiful Gray Heron was just in front of me, 30 meters from the road. This is my very first photo of 2019
Sometime you have to listen to the message that the life is sending to you, so I did.
Last Sunday we decided to visit “Laguna del mort” a natural area on the seaside, between the beaches of Eraclea and Jesolo.
In 20 minutes walk you can reach the area, a small lagoon, with a lot of maritime pines.
The walk was easy, despite the cold, and we found some interesting bird. Taking photos in this kind of places is very interesting, because you can challenge yourself in several different ways. Sunset is beautiful on Adriatic sea, when the sun is falling down on the sea, the golden colour is everywhere, on the sea and on the dry grass.
We were fortunate, and it was possible to see a lot of birds around us: Grey Herons, a Stork, a lot of different Seagulls and some Little Egret were flying around.
In summertime the area is a Naturist beach, very crowded, but from October to April the place is perfect, if you want to relax and take photos.
Another beautiful place for natural photos is, just on the other side of the river, the Venetian Lagoon. Here a photo from last winter
What about you, which kind of photos do you like to take?
