52 Photos Project

The prompt for Week 38:
Each moment is a place you've never been.

This photo represents a place I'd never
been on more than one level.  I was on a pristine,
mostly-undisturbed-by-humans beach in the
Galapagos.  And this hawk and I shared a
special (for me anyway) "moment"—when he
landed in a mangrove tree and allowed me to get close
enough (no zoom needed, only nerve) to capture this shot.

  3. Ooooh, how wonderful! I remember a baby owl capture that made me feel something like that. This is a beautiful bird. He almost seems to be saying, "I know I don't have a bad side, get your picture!" =)
