Thank you very much Jessica for your encouraging comment! Ningning, this wetland park is in Florida, not far from where I live. I have been just painting my neighboring parks, places through our plein air group and found so many beautiful places I did not know before . It is wonderful experience.

Xiao Li, I just curious.  Is it in China or in U.S.?

I have 2 friends over 70years old still among those groups of bird chasers. Once, one of them , in Canada, in winter, went to photo those birds. As it was so cold that his camera refused to work. And he also suffered a lot from the cold, back home , ill.  Some times people are so passional.

By the way, your sky and thin clouds and trees at the distance are very well represented with rich colour changes. Beautiful.

Thank you Ana for your encouraging comment! I did a plein air painting there but this one is a combination of three of my photos. It was fun to painting the birds.Thank you Ninging for your comment. When I was painting there, I saw three groups of people coming from the neighboring town in buses just to come to see those birds. We call them the birds chasing people. They are fun people and willing to go anywhere to watch and photo the birds. There is even a national bird sighting website for people to report the sighting of migration birds. It seems a lot of fun.

Xiao Li, Beautiful and full of life!  I have two or three friends love birds and chase them where ever they go and take a lot of photos of them. In order to get best photos they suffered  a lot.  But to paint those birds well alse needs big effort. You did a wonderful work. Love it.
