exploring nature’s infinite connections
A task that fell off my radar long ago was to create a bird photography gallery for various backyard, songbirds, grassland birds, blackbirds, etc, that didn't quite fit into the other segmented categories I had. But I didn't know what to call this new gallery because...
While mining what seems to be a never-ending archive of photos, I stumbled on this photograph of a deer from a park about 30 minutes north of me. And while keywording the image in Lightroom, filling in other metadata, and then doing some slight finishing development...
