Your photos are absolutely fabulous!
Much appreciated 🙂
Thank you for visiting and commenting ❤
❤
Excellent captures and composition. I love the contrast! 🙂
Thank you! This little guy was tucked away in the reed field. But so beautiful 🙂
I love birds and how they camouflage themselves. I have some little birds in my front garden that sing and play every morning 🙂
What a charming little face, Takami 🙂 I love the Tits for their cheerfulness and color. We have 4 species of them, all cute like a button 🙂
Thank you!! Wow, 4 species of these birds – that must be wonderful ❤
Great, Blue, Coal and Long-tailed. You will see them in my post about John River some day 🙂 The only bird will be missing – a Kingfisher 🙂 They used to live there but moved further, away from the trail. No luck, Takami 🙂
Hello Takami from snowy Helsinki.
Oh my gosh. Awesome photo. It was a great joy to my eyes, Thank You.
Have a good day!
Hello Matti,
Thank you for your kind comment! I am very happy you like this tiny, charming bird.
Best wishes from windy Japan,
Takami
Wow! Your photos are very beautiful, and extremely inspiring. Thank you!
Thank you Resa, for your lovely comment and visit! Your gowns are stunning ❤ ❤
😀 ❤
This made me smile … so much to see and enjoy! Wonderful photo .. 🙂
Thank you Julie! Your comment made my day 🙂 They are beautiful little birds.
Beautiful!
Thank you 🙂
Welcome!
This is a very beautiful specimen!
Thank you Sylvie ❤ I love this bird too 😍
Your photography is a stunning visual Takami! I’ve missed your work and this was a real treat. The muted background allows the bird to pop forward. Love this. Happy new year.
Thank you Mary! So happy you could stop by and I do appreciate your kind feedback. I look forward to seeing more of your beautiful work this year 🙂
This is a stunning bird and the photograph does it more than justice, Takami! I must say that the Japanese tit is far, far more colorful that our titmice.
Thank you Noelle! I’m so glad you liked this little bird. Tits do look a little “plain” from the front, but I love their resilience and they’re always so active 🙂 I was so happy this fellow allowed me to glimpse the beautiful olive colors of his rear side 🙂
I agree with Peter’s assessment, Takami. You are truly a gifted photographer. Your works convey the beauty of nature in a manner that honors all of the living beings in your portraits.
Thank you so much Carol. I’m thrilled if my respect & love for the photo subjects can be shown through the images. I try to approach each in a humble and respectful manner. Really appreciate your comment ❤
This is wonderful! Quite beautiful.
Thank you, Mr. Nico 🙂
Blessings!
The contrast between the dark, sharply outlined bird and the light, soft grasses is striking, Takami.
Thank you Donna. It was a treat to see this fellow hidden away in the reed fields.
Beautifully composed, Takami, of the gorgeous Great Tit! I love the soft grass surrounding him too! ❤
Thank you Donna! It was a real treat to find him hidden in the reed fields. It helped that he was pre-occupied with eating 😀
Reblogged this on From 1 Blogger 2 Another.
Thank you 🙂
What a gorgeous bird! I love that patch of olive green on its back.
Thank you Josh. The olive green colour is one of my favourite aspects of this bird (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_tit). It was a real treat to find him in the reed fields.
LOVE the composition of this image, Takami! What bird is this? I don’t recognize it. Gorgeous picture! 💖
Thank you Amy! This bird is a Japanese tit (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_tit). A small bird, but very pretty 🙂
Nice!! Thank you for the information, Takami!! 🦋
What a gorgeous shot, Takami. This little beauty started my day with a smile.
Thank you Diana 🙂 Very glad this bird brought a smile to your face.
今回の表題は、どういう意味になるのですか :D
寒さにじっと耐えている感じの鳥が、可愛いですね :D
こんにちは！返事が遅くなり申し訳ありません。（コメントが「スパムフォルダ」に入ってしまっていたことに全く気付かず、大変失礼しました。）今回の表題ですが、ヨシ原は生物の生息空間だけでなく、水辺景観の構成要素として重要視されているのでまさに「生き物の宝庫」だと思い、hidden treasureと表現してみました 😀
なるほど‼️‼️☺️👍👍
What’s this little beauty called, Takami?
Hello Dries, thanks for your visit!
This is a Japanese tit (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_tit), part of the great tit family. They are small and active birds 🙂
Very beautiful and interesting, thanks Takami!
You once told me in a comment here, something to the effect that you wished to be a great wildlife photographer. You have advanced your desire into the sublime. That’s fortunate for us who have stumbled upon your craft. The downside, however, is yours alone. Unlike the dedicated novice who improves with relative ease, the professional gains only hard-won refinements. But it is that very knack for excellence that distinguishes the superior professionals. Congratulations.
Dear Peter,
Thank you. Truth be told, your comment made me (and even my husband!) a bit emotional. I wish I could express adequately how much it means, to receive such a generous, yet honest and insightful feedback. Although there are times when I wonder if it’s “worth it” to keep up with the photography, I am reminded – yet again – to keep at it and be diligent in refining each shot. Thank you so much again.
Beautiful 🙂
Thank you 😀
Lovely! And cute!
Thank you 🙂
Super image Takami!
Thank you Brian!
So harmonious
Thank you 🙂
Lovely photos. The colour pops against that background.
Thank you. Japanese tits are quite “active” birds, they don’t often stop in one place for too long. It was a treat to see this fellow hiddedn within the reed fields.
