I began the day by heading to the lake with my kayak on a trailer in tow behind my bicycle. I launched onto the stillness of the water in the quiet of the morning. I noticed this curious bird sitting at the top of a small pine tree at waters edge. I paddled to a spot where the tiny breeze would cause me to drift in his direction. A few minutes later he was looking down at me as I was shooting upward with a 300 mm lens.
