South Southwest...

Stories of my photos.

Swamp Land...



Mud. Mud everywhere.


What the heck am I doing here, I wonder ? And the smell, can you imagine ?





The tide it's changing, and if I don't want to get my feet wet I better hurry, because I'm far away from my car, and the river rises in no time.





It seems I have a natural talent to scare away all animals I could possible want to photograph. But... this little fellow didn't fly away ! Either it's very brave, or totally deaf !!!





And these two ? I think they are just ignoring me... Hmmm...





Well, the sun is setting already. No luck today, not a decent photo was taken. Another day will come... I better go home !




I'll be seeing you !
Orlando

Close Encounters Of The Third KindCan you see it ?

Thank you, Zé. I'm learning with you ! yes
Tagus delta is one of the most beautiful places I know. In this place we have also pink flamingos, but I was unable to get a decent shot. They were far away and when I got in a good position came a boat and scared them away... awww When I get home I'll try to put a photo here as a comment up
