Title: Wildlife and Cherry Blossoms in Mount Pleasant Cemetery
Post by: Charline on April 27, 2024, 12:22:02 PM

I was photographing this red-tailed hawk flying high in the sky, guess it saw me. It dove down and landed in front of me. Maybe it's the same hawk from last week? Did it recognize me?

This weeping cherry tree has dark pink blossoms. Very pretty, I think. But this new phone's camera is terrible. I am going to return it.

Cut! OK, that was pretty good. I like the intense sky and lighting placement. Now ... this director needs a bit more emotion emanating from your voice ... think how these are the last few moments of your eyesight before the curtain falls ... the weeping cherry is your last vision ... is achingly beautiful ... it's a weeping cherry that brings you to tears ... Pavarotti singing in the background ... something from Verdi perhaps, ... I need you to cry while you describe the weeping cherry ... can you give me lachrymose? Good. Excellent. OK, people ... TAKE TWO! I love this job.

The kinglet wouldn't show me it's crest.

That's the fearless hawk. I wonder if he was just checking me out or thought I was an enemy.

Is it Dark-,eyed Junco?


And Hermit Thrush?
