Okay, so my title might be just a wee bit misleading ... but for all that I still think its fairly accurate ;)
After being away so long I was anxious to join in on one of my favorite blogger activities. I'd been waiting for Carmi to announce this weeks theme, but when I saw it was "Aerial" my heart fell. I haven't been on a plane for more years than I can count, and I didn't take up photography until after I'd moved down from the mountains into the flat lands.
When I decided 'flight' might work I was still stumped, because I've already shown y'all most of my 'flying' shots. I'd forgotten this one that was in a batch of photos taken a few years ago when I was in Maryland that have never gotten processed because I went to work soon after and was doing quite a bit of overtime. I'm glad I took a peek in that folder as it includes quite a few pictures that I'd forgotten about altogether. I was there for a few weeks and had gone to Washington DC, and we were close to Amish country. My camera was fairly new and I was very into documenting the whole trip.
I got very lucky with this shot. It was handheld and taken through a window and a screen. It had been raining, but just before sunset the rain ended and the sun broke through the clouds lending a surreal light. The hummers were buzzing around a feeder in the backyard. The feeder was red and reflected back on the bird accounting for the rosy glow you see on the bird's breast.
If you'd like to see more interpretations of "Aerial", or have some of your own to share, hop on over to Written Ink and join in the fun.
