For the Love of Michigan Birds

Michigan Birds – For the Love of Michigan

Michigan is a profusion of many species of birds, bird rookery’s, habitats and a migration hot spots for many other non-resident birds that use Michigan as a rest-stop as they make their annual journey from one state to their over wintering vacation spot.

I happened to be lucky enough one day (while visiting Erie MetroPark) to get a photo of a Ross Goose, a Canadian northern bird that paid a quick rare visit to Michigan on it’s migratory journey to California. The Ross Goose seemed quite at home as it co-mingled among a gaggle of native Michigan Birds.

Nature Photography – Nature Speaks Through Birds

Nature Photography – Nature Speaks

There is a peculiar emotion that can swell up inside you sometimes when you are walking among the animals of the wild. This emotion can cast a feeling of deep appreciation for the earth, water,  and even sounds of nature. The precious moment of emotion may last for an extended period of time or, it might be fleeting, leaving you with an incessant urge to try an recapture the feeling.

You will find yourself a loss for words to explain the experience. How does one describe when there are no words within the half-million or so words in the English language. You could say, I felt lofty, I felt as though an invisible weight I never knew was there, suddenly lifted from my shoulder. You might try describing a sublime serenity that eased over your mind as you causally  stood and became mesmerized by the flicking, shimmering thousand tiny reflections of light that bounced off the waters surface into your eyes. Before you knew it, as you slowly returned to reality from this transcendental state, a considerable amount of time has passed and you were momentarily disconnected from the cares of the world.

Your only hope might be nature photography.  A quick snap shot from a camera has the potential to capture the moment, or at least the physical aspects of scenery which can sometimes rekindle emotions you felt during the period.

Nature Photography - Ancient Feet

Nature photography can be simple as using any off-the shelf, point and shoot store bought camera.

Taking photos of birds, animals and a scenery’s of nature is therapy for the soul. Whether you walk alone, with your spouse or your entire family, the walk among the open elements teaming with life and profusion will mentor the soul and mind of all who will be patient enough to let nature speak.

Ancient Feet

“I share the Earth, the Sun acknowledge my presents by casting my shadow upon the face of the Earth. The space the earth has granted my feet, is a covenant between me and earth, not man.”

“The silence of nature has the effect to clean the mind of constant noise pollution. Pure sounds and images of nature alter the soul, when you  come close to nature, stress is transformed to calm, when you leave behind the noisy hustle and bustle, you are now amongst the truly civilized.”
—ThirdSon and the River’s Sky

My walks with nature has truly been, therapy for the soul.

Nature speaks a silent language all of it’s own. Walk, then wait for those precious and rare moments when nature will reveal itself to you, a personal message crafted for your own benefit.  It may be communicated by a bird, insect or larger four legged mammal. It might be passed to you from the ripples on the surface of a lake or arrive to your soul upon distant low and muffled thundering emulating over the horizon.

Michigan birds are also messengers of nature.  I have been the recipient of nature’s many lessons and accumulated, time ripened wisdom. Kensington Metro Park – Jimme’ section.

Nature and Bird Photography By Ike Austin

This fine collection of nature and art photography communicates both calm and beauty to the spirit. Nature shows us such things as birds and water ripples in an attempt to translates itself to us.  Nature photography can bring therapy to the human soul, it is with this purpose that I present these photographs of the many beautiful birds and nature scenes.

So that the full nature-to-soul experience is transferred, my photos are without digital enhancement of any kind. This means that if a scene looks and feels dreary, no digital manipulation is performed to add contrast to brighten the image. If dreariness is the emotion of the moment that nature communicated when the camera shutter snapped, it is so presented to you without impediment.
