Whenever indolence crept upon me, I would make a gentle escape to Healesville Sanctuary — a place that asked for little effort yet always rewarded the eye. It was my refuge for effortless photography, where birds perched in calm familiarity, and light played kindly even on the most languid days.
It has been a long while since my last visit, but I still recall one image taken with a modest compact camera, its humble lens far from the precision of modern devices. Yet perhaps that simplicity lent the photograph its charm — a red so vivid, so unrefined in tone, that it burned with an honesty no high-resolution sensor could ever reproduce. In its rawness lay a certain poetry, the kind only memory and imperfection can reveal.

ReplyDeleteMe acerco despacio, sin mucho ruido y con intención de aprender a este espacio en el que ya veo que hay un interés por la fotografía y un cuidado y mimo con los resultados.
ReplyDeleteUn abrazo
Oh, what a gorgeous colour.
ReplyDeletePues para ser con ese tipo de cámara, la fotografía es muy buena.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, I have never seen one this RED! Even his legs. Looks like he is preening.
ReplyDeleteLa fotografia té doble mèrit, per la càmera en que està feta i per l'encant de tot plegat.
ReplyDeleteSalutacions, James!
A fine memory.
ReplyDeleteNevermind the bird, your writing has a certain kind of poetic quality.
ReplyDeleteWow, an amazing colour, looks like it was just painted.
ReplyDeleteA strawberry-coloured ibises. wow!!
ReplyDeleteThe bill of this bird does look like a flamingo, but is down curved like an ibis, but I don't know enough about birds to question your identification.
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful, wonderful colour and I've never seen one like that.
ReplyDeleteLooks amazing
ReplyDeleteHandsome creature and I am sure very appealing to the opposite sex, but what about camouflage and self protection?
ReplyDeleteI've never seen a flamingo so red. I adore it!
ReplyDeleteWonderful image.
ReplyDeleteThe flamingo is so beautiful
ReplyDeletePorque nos dices que la tomaste con una compacta, pero creo que es una foto digna del mejor profesional y cámara profesional. Además los colores son casi puros destacan bien los unos de los otros.
