Aye! Thinking about the reality and balance of the Universe! 🙂
Thank you for your comment! 🙂
A lovely friend pondering the future, as we too often do. Love it 🥰. Happy Holidays to you and yours!
Thank you my dear friend! ❤ ❤ Happy Holidays to you too!
The Kingfisher here is darker colors. This is a brilliant capture! Love the blues.
Thank you for stopping by and viewing some of my photography. I can imagine the Kingfisher in your neighborhoon is a very beautiful sight 🙂
Best wishes,
Takami
What handsome attire he wears, Takami. He embodies the beauty of both sky and water, the elements in which he conducts his life.
Thank you for your amazing comment, Tanja! You expressed it so beautifully ❤ ❤
😊
Your bird images are glorious …. 🙂
Thank you so much! 🙂
And it’s such a big world to ponder for such a little fella! 🙂 Lovely capture, Takami!
Thank you Donna! It is a big (sometimes bad) world out there, isn’t it?
But I do have confidence in his survival ability 😀 ❤
Oh my dear, he is so sweet! ❤
Thank you dear Inese!
He looks so tiny, but there was strong resolution in his expression 😀
Yes! Exactly 🙂 Hope he stays safe during the winter. I saw a Kingfisher again. Quite close, but he took off in a second. At least, I know where too look 🙂
Oh that’s great to hear! I’m certain the opportunity for you to make photos of your Kingfisher will indeed come 🙂
Waiting for my luck to strike 🙂
小鳥の横顔から、強い意志を感じますね！！頼もしい！！：D

いつもありがとうございますm（__）m
カワセミは小さいのに、本当にタフですね！：D
私ももっと頑張らなきゃ・・（笑）
I have never seen a kingfisher before. And I have never seen a bird with those beautiful colours. The blurred background is adding to the beauty of the photo.
Thank you Sylvie. Kingfishers are beautiful birds. I hope you will see one soon.
So do I🙂
A jewel of a picture, Takami!
Thank you Noelle!
It means a lot, and motivates me to make & share photos 🙂
I love it.<3
Thank you my friend 🙂
Always pleasure.<3
Wawwwww … so cute !!! ❤ 😉
Thank you dear friend ❤
With pleasure, my dear Takami ! ❤
I bet he hopes there’s a fish in his tummy in the near future! Lovely image, Takami.
Thank you Dries! Oh yes, I have no doubt he was thinking about this tummy 😀 As always I appreciate your visits and comment. All best to your family too!
Such a peaceful, lovely photo, Takami. How fervently I hope there will always be kingfishers to add beauty to the world. ❤
Thank you Carol. As always much appreciated ❤
I too, hope that Nature will always be here to remind us of the beautity that is possible (and does exist) in this world. Now, if only we humans could get "our act" together…..
I love it! The kingfisher does indeed look like he or she is staring off into space, contemplating the future! I also love the way the sunlight reflects off the water, and how the kingfisher is positioned slightly off-center in the photo.
Hi Josh, as always thanks for stopping by and commenting!
I’m glad I’m not the only one who thought this Kingfisher appeared a bit lost in thought – or at least contemplating his next meal 😉 I’m happy you enjoyed the composition too 🙂
I hope your thesis is coming along well. (I did of course read your latest post and the NatGeo article)
Thanks for the kind wishes on my thesis! It’s almost done…
I’m glad you read the Nat Geo article! They should sponsor me, since I keep sharing their stories all over the internet!
I’m just kidding…or am I?
They certainly should! 😀
So wonderful!
Thank you 🙏😊
I shall use this as a banner because ruse shifTs instigate propagation.
