Hi dear Takami san!
Wow what an amazing picture! I absolutely love the bird ❤
Thank you Sis 🙂 I know you love birds and this is one of my favorite 🙂 🙂
Oh how I enjoyed this stunning, zen-like photo, Takami. I’m pretty sure this bird is called Japanese White Eye.
Thank you Jet! Yes, it is indeed a Japanese white-eye “Mejiro” 😀
Oh dear me, such a little beauty. You captured his whole little soul 🙂
Thank you, dear Inese ❤ I love this bird 🙂
Truly wonderful!
Thank you Mr. Nico!
Oh, Takami! What a beautiful photo. It’s so sharp! I love the washed-out background. It lends to the tranquil, contemplative feel of your image. Nothing makes my heart sing more than seeing a little birdie. Thanks for bringing joy to my day! Sending you both our best wishes. ~ Jeannie :))
Dear Jeannie! What a pleasure and honour to know you enjoyed this birdie 🙂 Your birdie photos have always been an inspiration and I know you and your partner would have a blast making photos of this particular bird 😀 Hope you are doing well my friend, and that autumn continues to give you many reasons to smile!!
I don’t even have adequate words to describe the calm that overtakes my heart when I gaze upon this picture, and I urge any viewer who has not done so, to click on the image, for the greater the size of this particular picture (and this is a true bow to the amazing photographer), the greater that sense of calm becomes. Kudos Takami, though I may not have thought it possible before, I believe you might truly have outdone even yourself with this beautiful capture.
My friend, thank you so much. I’m overwhelmed with the kind words and positive feedback. I try not to put personal feedlings on this site (would rather have folks hopefully enjoy the photos) but hubby and I find ourselves standing at a crossroads – how we want to live this Life… Seeing this bird brought a tear to my eye and I’m grateful it paused long enough to allow some shots.
Thank you again my friend. I hope you are having a good weekend in your beautiful city!
Actually, it rained a lot, but an indoor week-end also has its benefits, so no complaints on my part. You folks have a great week now.
What a beautiful bird! Do you know what it’s called?
Hello Josh,
This bird is called a “Mejiro” or Japanese White-eye 🙂 Thank you so much for your comment!
No problem! Thank you for the information!
It is very beautiful this little bird, I’m happy
Discover your photos, dear Takami
Thank you my friend Herve! I’m so happy you can enjoy this beautiful bird 🙂 All best wishes always, my friend.
Beautiful pose… which you captured of that lovely coloured bird! Best wishes Takami. 🙂
Thank you so much dear Iris 🙂
Incredible photograph Takami, a feel of high-key photography and a perfect subject with its muted colors and sharpness… Wow. This may be one of my favorite photographs of yours, simply incredible. Peaceful and contemplative. Wishing you a great autumn ~
Thank you Randall. I’m overwhelmed by the positive feedback and kind words. I try not to put too much personal stuff on this site (instead try to place the focus on the subjects of the photos) but as mentioned before I find myself standing at a crossroads. So this post/photo was a bit emotional for me. And your most recent amazing post made me even more so – in a good way 🙂
I hope all is well in HK. Hubby and I wish you a happy autumn too!
Great to hear Takami ~ I’m on my way up to Hangzhou today, and it is usually quite beautiful in October, so even though it is work the atmosphere will be fine 🙂 Cheers!
Reblogged this on Crows Head Soup and commented:
At The Crossroads
As I travel the dark and shadowy roads of life, I delight in those moments when I arrive At The Crossroad, where a light brightens my way and lifts my spirit and takes me along another path, at least for a time.
Takami Ibara, is wildlife photographer extraordinaire, like none other I’ve found. You may find her and her exquisite work at https://tibaraphoto.wordpress.com.
Enjoy.
Thank you! I commented directly on your blog 😀
A beautiful, delicate photo – it should be hung in a gallery as a work of art!
Thank you Noelle ❤ Your comment made me blush 😉
So sweet ! 🙂
Thank you, Takami for share ! 🙂
All the best my dear friend ! 🙂
Thank you my friend! I am happy you like it ❤
鶯？は、どんな岐路にたっているのでしょうか・・・清清しい姿ですね！！：D

こんばんは！ご訪問・コメント有難うございます。
私もメジロが大好きです。直接声を掛けて訊いてみたかったのですが（←鳥の言葉が分からないのに＾＾；）すぐ飛んで行ってしまいました、笑
Takami, this looks somewhat like a painting in the classical style, one of those ancient scrolls hanging in museums. The bird is extraordinarily sharp and its muted colors are wonderful to look at, for a long time.
Hello Mr. Hien,
Thank you so very much for your comment. I’m overwhelmed at the overall positive response. I feel myself at a crossroads in life, and could almost imagine myself as this bird. And while Autumn in my favorite season, I also feel a sense of melancholy this time of year… 😉
I can’t wait to see autumn through your photos as well! Best wishes always.
I echo these comments. The photograph is beyond extraordinarily beautiful. But this your element, capturing the magnificent as you do. Thank you for sharing your art. It brightens my morning.
Thank you Peter. Your comment has made my evening. It’s the greatest honor to know that some of my work can brighten someone’s day. As you know, I aim to capture what I see honestly and simply.
Best,
Takami
Takami, your work is the pinnacle of wildlife photography. As such, I am compelled to ask your permission to reblog. May I?
Of course! I’d be honoured 🙂
Aw…so sweet! Beautiful shot!
Thank you Jill ❤ I wanted to go with simplicity, and very glad for the positive responses so far 🙂
Oh, wow! That is breathtakingly beautiful in its simplicity.
Thank you! So glad you liked it 🙂
Agreed! (About the simplicity.) The simplicity also underlines the sadness.
Thank you Nina ❤

メジロは何を考えているのでしょう？思案顏の表情が最高で～す(^^♪
こんにちは！(*^^*)
いつもありがとうございます♩私も直接声を掛けて訊いてみたかったのです（笑）すぐ飛んで行ってしまいましたので結局チャレンジ出来ずに（苦笑）
This picture looks like a chinese painting, gorgeous !
I’m glad you liked it! 🙂
Beautiful image, Takami 🙂
With an interesting ‘title’ and ‘composition’, you made this post a thought provoking one 🙂
Thank you for sharing 🙂
Thank you Sreejith! A pleasure to read your comment. Twice happy if it’s thought provoking 🙂
You are most welcome, Takami 🙂
Little bird in deep thought
The white eye sharply watching
To fly the right way
Gorgeous Ashi as always !
I love his poems too 🙂
ありがとうございます。実は私自身「人生の岐路」について色々悩んでおり、思い切りこちらの見出しで投稿することにしました、笑）
力強く見える小鳥ですね。何か指針を与えてくれそうな。:)
Beautifully shot and composed
Thank you!
That has got to be one of my favorite pictures you’ve taken. I love the simplicity. Looks like something that would be on a piece of classy stationary.
I agree
🙂 🙂
Thank you very much! I was aiming for simplicity and glad to know it worked 🙂
