This was a great gift to me. This one was taken from the hotel little porch, as he got really close to the metallic frame surrounding it. This Frigatebirds are absolutely gorgeous, specially their long tails and their majestic flight.
If you want to know more about them, visit this site, the information is amazing:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frigatebird
Watch them interact among them, no danger to people, APARENTLY, but very fierce towards each other at times...

My thanks to Dave W. who identified this bird for me!
As you can see, the background is the beautiful Riviera Maya, Cancun, and oh, (sigh) the sun was starting to shine, and the breeze was drying the fine rain that came down a few minutes earlier. You can tell by the amount of people behind, that non of us wanted to stay indoors, for what is a small rainy cloud when you are at a beach like this one...
I think this song goes perfectly with this image...

A LITTLE BIT ABOUT MY PHOTOGRAPHY:
I enjoy nature photography the most, since I love the outdoors and long hiking trips. Macro photography is a true passion for me, since I get to watch a miniature world that opens without limits, before the camera makes the funny sound…
Graphic design is another way to express myself. I love reinventing a photo that I have seen in different ways.
Textures. I have a few of my own, and love finding and creating them, since they will transform a photo into a totally different one.
EXPLORE:
More of one hundred of my photos made it to Explore. One appeared on the front page, and others at 14, 25 and 52. If you’d like to see them, please go to my Explore set.
MY MAIN GOAL:
Is to learn more and more of this wonderful art. After the indoor lessons, comes the second step of learning, making the mistakes, and then learning the way of fixing them!
TO MY FRIENDS:
Flicker has giving me opportunity to meet a group of wonderful people. Thanks for making me feel so proud of what I do and love.
ABOUT GROUPS:
I only submit my photos to groups which pages are not private.
MY THANKS:
I appreciate your visit and your comment. If you are particularly interested in one of my photos, send me an email. Thank you!
Martha.

See it on black, thanks :)
It took me a while to catch up with this family of ducks, they were swimming really fast, and when they stop my battery was dead, so I loaded the camera again, and chased them again! I was glad to know that their swimming time was over when they stop to dry and groom themselves.
I enjoy the most nature photography, also city life, and love working with techniques like solarisation. Also, I feel that black and white, and sepia are very special too!
EXPLORE:
Also, I’m very proud to say that twenty one of of my photos made it to Explore, thirteen are still on, and one is at number 52! If you’d like to see them, please go to my Explore set.

ABOUT GROUPS:
I would gladly submit my photos to the groups that would allow me to see their pages and be part of them. Please, don’t invite me to groups that will show my work once, and by invitation. I rather be part of a group that will allow me to choose my own material, and decide what to put and when. Remember, we are artists, and very temperamental ;)
MY THANKS:
Thanks for coming and for viewing my photos. I appreciate all comments, so leave one, if you want to.
Have great day, and enjoy the ride!

I've been observing and enjoying this family or robins for seven days now, and I've learned so much about them. Both parents take care of the babies, and they are particularly clean about their nest. At the beginning, they used to kind of move the babies out of the way to do so, but as they get bigger they make sure they are around when the babies have to go!
I'll be sad the day they leave, but happy and grateful at the same time, for giving me the opportunity of witness something wonderful!
I would gladly submit my photos to the groups that would allow me to see their pages and be part of them. There is no sense in inviting somebody to a group, and then not allow that person to see or enjoy the groups photos...
I'm also very proud to say, that four of my photos made it to Explore, if you’d like to see them go to my Explore set.

...and then anything is possible!
Canada geese, are Very protective of their little ones, and I've seen more than once to stop cars before they all cross a street, and I even saw an older one open her (his) wings and make a small run across the street since a car was approaching.
From my 2012 files. I knew I had this one, but somehow I misplaced it. I'm so glad I found it! I left the one you saw earlier, just bellow Bob's comment.
I added an artistic filter in Photoshop, and then a texture of mine.

The gave a little of their time, and posed for me! I was in luck, because they were coming to the edge of the lake for a little rest. Thanks guys!
I do must of all nature photography, and from time to time city life. I enjoy trying new techniques, and transforming some of my photos into something different and ( I think) artistic.
