Spoonbill Flight

I have always loved watching birds.  Some time back, my husband and I were on a golf course at Amelia Island, Florida, when this brilliantly colored Cross Spoonbill soaring above us. I quickly took a photo, which I thought I would paint when we returned home from our trip.  The last time we were on a trip to a friend's home in Florida, a flock of pink birds were coming towards our car on the highway.  We were too slow to photograph them that time, but it reminded me to go back to my photo files and locate the Spoonbill photos from the time at Amelia. This painting is a result of that search.  I remember the day was a bit gloomy, and the excitement I felt when I saw the bird.  The contrast in the colors of the forest and bird were mesmerizing.  That regal, soaring bird instantly lifted my spirits.

Inspired by a photo taken from my balcony while on vacation in Bermuda, I decided that this little guy should be my next subject.  I watched for some time, as he/she meandered along the cove’s beach, not knowing whether he/she was in search of food,  a mate, or just enjoying the same beautiful scenery as myself.

Just had to share a few of my photos taken in Florida on a rainy day.  It is quite seldom that I see so many gathered together in a single area. If you are a bird lover, like I am, you will enjoy these.
