Favorite Things: Birds

January 29, 2016 by Beth Shepherd

I love birds. I’m not sure what it is about them–maybe their flight which, to me, looks like atmospheric ballet. Whether it’s tiny birds like the bold Anna’s Hummingbirds who frequent our yard, majestic eagles flying over Lake Washington or herons standing in the shallow waters of the shore, I enjoy watching them and hearing them. And photographing them. I’ve spent hours taking bird photos–their colors, habits and quirks. Even the common pigeon and obnoxious crow are fun to capture with my camera. Here are few of my bird pictures:

It’s all about the journey,

Some might fend off a mid-life crisis by leaving the comforts of their corporate salary to jet off to a deserted island. Others might buy a Jaguar. I’ve chosen to dive head-long into my 50s and beyond by becoming a first-time parent. At any given moment you might find me holding a camera, a spade, a spatula or a suitcase. Or my little girl's hand. Adopted from Armenia, she puts the Pampers and Paklava into my life.
