So very beautiful. Thank you.
Thank you my friend. I am happy you liked it ❤
Perfect shot!
Thank you 🙂 It was a perfect moment with good luck.
Love this shot Takami ~ the wonderful Kingfisher pops right out, a great profile and colors. Beautiful work!
Thank you Randall! It was one of those days when everything fell into place so wonderfully and beautifully. The best part was that most of the photographers were looking in the opposite direction, so it was like a private session 😀
Another stunning shot! What beautiful bokeh. Great title too! :))
Thank you dear friend ❤ ❤ Really glad you liked the bokeh effect 🙂
Wonderful capture, Takami…loved it!
Thank you my friend! 🙂
Such a beautiful capture!
Thank you Sukanya. It was a beautiful moment with a beautiful bird ❤
Best wishes,
Takami
Super capture!
Thank you Rajiv-san! This bird was a wonderful “model” 🙂
So excellent… It is such an extraordinary impact how the little winged creature stands tall, just in the center. Consummate!- Have an awesome day my companion!..
Thank you for stopping by. Yes this bird is tiny, but his presence was very big indeed 🙂
Best wishes from Japan 🙂

I wonder how much weight it has 🙂
Thank you for your comment 🙂
He is a Common Kingfisher, therefore average weight is about 34-46 grams:

So beautiful… It is such a great effect how the little bird stands tall, just in the middle. Perfect!- Have a great day my friend! 😉
Thank you dear Aquileana ❤
This Kingfisher bird was a natural "model" – he seemed accustomed to posing for photographers and admirers 🙂 Wishing you a happy Spring my friend!
Stunning capture!!
Thank you for stopping by and commenting. I’m glad you liked this photo 🙂

Very lovely photo. Masterpiece.
Thank you dear Sartenada、いつもありがとうございます!
Beautiful bird! And a marvelous play of colors, Takami. Love it ❤
Thank you dear Helen ❤
Nature never fails to amaze – it's so exciting and humbling. Happy Spring! 🌷
Wow its almost like a 3d pic, because of the movement and sharpness in one pic.. I missed out on so many beautiful pics!
Thank you my friend!! I miss you ❤
I love this birdie and your pix are simply “jewels”… ❤ I took several pix of the kingfisher in Beppu, Kyushu last year – it was raining, but the photos are fine! 🙂
Thank you dear Melanie-san 🙂
I can imagine you made beautiful photos in Kyushu ❤
カワセミが宝石のように際立っていますね。
黄金色の背景がとても美しいお写真です。
gkiseki様
こんにちは。返事が遅くなり申し訳ありません。コメントありがとうございます!いつも励みになります。私も黄金色の背景と翡翠のコバルトブルーの組み合わせが気に入りました。カワセミは本当に美しい鳥さんですね、見れば見るほどハマります・・笑)
今後ともどうぞよろしくお願い致します。
What a gorgeous picture, Takami! I love the sharpness of the blue against the blur of the gold.
A masterpiece!
Thank you Noelle! It means a lot to know you enjoyed it ❤ Happy Spring!🌷
That’s a beautiful picture to come back to after 7 days offline, while I waited for the service to be hooked up at my new apartment. It was certainly worth the wait. You have a wonderful week now.
Hello my friend! Sorry for my belated reply – I’m finally catching up on comments after a hectic few weeks. I do hope you’re settling into your new home!
As always it’s gratifying to read your comments and to know my photos are being enjoyed. This Kingfisher was a very photogenic model and a natural ham – he seemed accustomed to being the center of attention! 🙂 Spring has finally arrived in all her glory – just recently I had the privilege of seeing a wild duck family with young chicks in tow! I hope to share some snapshots soon.
God bless and wishing you a great remainder of the week!
Our two cities must be in sync this year, for Spring just arrived in full force here also (I hope). I was even able to take a book for a walk and do some reading in one of the local parks. I also just got back on-line after 4 days absence, so my comments and email are also piled up and waiting for my attention. It’s a battle they are very likely to lose to the sunshine pouring in my window. : ) I’ll let you know how that turns out. You all take care now and enjoy the weather while it lasts (Christmas is just around the corner).
if that little bird only knew his picture was being shared 1/2 way around the globe 🙂 I did click the larger image as well as the magnification option. Those are brilliant colors!
Thank you so much! 🙂
Yes, I wonder what he would think if he knew. There were many photographers and admirers on this day – he seemed very nonchalant about it, a complete natural at posing 🙂
Really beautiful.
Thank you Mr. Nico 🙂
I hope you and your family are having a lovely Spring filled with much laughter and blessings.
Thank you Takami for beautiful kind words. Peace and great blessings to you and your husband.
Excellent!
Thank you Jill 🙂
I hope you’re having a beautiful Spring 🌷
Superb, Takami ! 🙂 All the best my dear friend !
Thank you dear friend ❤ I wish you a happy Spring🌷
Thank you so much, my dear Takami ! >3
I wish you a beautiful spring too ! 🙂
That bird posed just for you! The background colors go well with it.
Hello Mr. Hien!
I’d like to believe that he posed just for me 🙂 The background, the afternoon sun – it was all perfect.
Stunning.
Thank you so much!
Wonderful choice of focus
Thank you!
How fun! You captured the image of that gorgeous bird perfectly. 🙂
Thanks Doc 😀
This is a perfect example of having a “great eye” for things. This photo captures a moment so beautifully. Peace, Harlon
Thank you Harlon! I’m happy to share this moment and glad you enjoyed it too.
All best wishes,
Takami
Again : superb, Takami !
Thank you Gilles! 🙂
こんにちは(^^♪
予告通りのカワセミでした(@_@)大草原にポツリと。付近には池がと、勝手に想像しました(^_-)-☆
こんにちは(^^)
そうです、今回もカワセミです!:D
お察しの通り近くに蓮池があり、まだ先のことですが開花が楽しみです。
