Rosy Glow...... - a photo on Flickriver

Rosy Glow......

            After attending the second funeral in a week Jonathan and I took our dogs a walk to one of our local nature reserves where the wind made it very difficult and mostly impossible to get a decent shot. I thought I'd ring the changes by using my Tamron SP 90 f2.8 Di Macro 1.1 VC USD mounted on one of my Sony lenses just for a change as my DSLRs plus that lens felt heavy and my wrist hurts atm.
 I disliked it intensely after using vintage lenses but my mood wasn't the best anyway. Eventually Jonathan just lay enjoying the sun and the dogs followed me. As I walked along I was treated to the sight of a rich gold coloured bird flying from one group of trees to another. After a few minutes out of sight it flew straight across in front of me. I Had no lens long enough to photograph it yet I was overcome by joy just to have seen it. Jonathan had seen a few men with long lenses and a guy carrying a birding scope had nodded to me so when I spotted the golden bird I guessed it was what they had come for. I remarked to Jonathan that I believed I had seen a Golden Oriole and goodness only knows where when or how I had even heard the name. On reaching home I immediately googled it and low and behold there was my Golden Oriole. It had dispelled my gloom in an instant and I know will remain forever one of those special moments I shall never forget.. I could return with a longer lens but I know I am no bird photographer but nothing could replicate the feeling of excited joy I felt seeing that beautiful bird against the clear blue sky......hope you have a wonderful weekend everyone..Sue..:)
