Birdie - Glad to see you are back and posting your beautiful images. The Nature and Wildlife Forum is better when you are active. Always love seeing your images and you have helped a lot of us become better photographers over the years with your insight and knowledge.

I go through those periods more often than I care to admit. At it's worse I'm convinced it's all just pointless. Everything's been photographed. Who needs to see another photo of a Dragonfly, or an Osprey, or Egret, or a bear or lion cub ? But then when I finally get myself re-motivated to get out, I realize once again that it's not the end result that I crave, it's the time spent in nature. I could very easily go out and sit on the edge of a pond for five hours but in a very short time my mind would begin to wander and every thought I was trying to escape would begin to creep back in. But with a camera in my hand, and critters to concentrate on, my mind is completely off my problems, at least for a little while. It's my best form of therapy
If nothing else, just know that your work brings joy to others and you've always been and still are an inspiration.
Oh, and I really love #5 ...Show more →
So very , very true Gary ! I have had the exact same thoughts on many occasions and realize I am most happy with camera in hand .

Wow wow wow! These are so great to see, especially 5 and 8 for me, those are my top picks, but they are all terrific.
It's so good to see you posting again Birdie! Glad you found some mojo to get you going again. I go through periods like that... but your style and rendering is so unique and personal that it leaves a void when you are gone! Don't do that to us! We'll be good, promise!
