Magnolias' tree

There is something special about magnolias. The short period of blooming and their wonderful colours make them really unique. These photographs were taken a few days ago. I hope that I will have the chance to meet blooming magnolias again this spring.

Muscari

One more series of these beautiful, spring flowers. This time, I was shooting a different kind of them. They've got slightly different shape and the colour is much more intense and saturated.

Sorrel wood

I like these flowers of which period of blooming is quite short. It seems to me that they are more delicate and pure. Sorrel wood blooms in spring and then they disappear for another year. They sometimes bloom in autumn, but it happenes very rarely.

A rust-coloured bird.

I met this bird two days ago, during a long walk. It was sitting in the tree and looking at me.
I couldn't resist taking it a few photos, and here are the results.

The first trip.

Finally! After almost seven months of ugly weather we were able to go somewhere during the weekend. We have visited nearby mountains, of course. During the trip we have met this little fellow. "He" was really understanding and very patient as I took like fifty pictures of him.





And now a riddle. What do you thing it is?
:)

Sparrows...

There are many various species of birds in Poland, there are also many bird kinds in my town. Unfortunately, it seems to me that the rarer bird, the more skittish it is. So, I practice my birds photography on... sparrows. There are plenty of them everywhere, and they aren't afraid of people any more:)

Pigeon

I must say that taking a good photo of a bird isn't such an easy thing as one might think. I didn't realise it before, but now I know that there are many factors that matter in case of such photography. There is weather, time of a day, surroundings and great deal of good luck that you need in order to take a good photo.

This pigeon here is a great example of how many things I still have to learn:)

My first birds

I can proudly present to you my first shots of birds I've taken during last few days. I don't know if they are any good but they exist, and that's what is the most important to me:)

The firts photo presents a bird of no name right now... but I'm sure that "Holdingmoments" or "Abraham" know this species. If you could tell me, I would be really grateful, guys:)

The second and the third photo present a starling (I hope). They are very common where I live. In fact, they took over the two nest boxes we had prepared for blackbirds.
