59/365 (28/02)
Gold in the Larch: I have been chasing a decent photograph of this European Goldfinch (Carduelis carduelis) all week, but they are notoriously small, fleet, and usually stay tucked deep within the canopy. As I spent the vast majority of my time snowboarding with my family and not primarily photographing, I only had fleeting windows to try and catch one in the open. Despite shooting up and not in a great pose, I particularly like this frame because of the way the larch branches naturally encircle the subject, providing a rustic, geometric window into its world. It was a rewarding way to cap off the week's observations in Auron.
This 365 project is about slowing down and paying attention.
Training my eye to see both the obvious and the overlooked.
Finding photographs in everyday moments, not just destinations.
