60/365 (01/03)
Camouflage in the Garden: A Short-toed Treecreeper (Certhia brachydactyla) makes its way up a lichen-covered trunk in Valbonne. Having returned from the high-altitude slopes of Auron, it is wonderful to be back observing the subtle details of the local wildlife closer to home. These birds are master mimics of the bark they inhabit, and I particularly like this frame because of the way the subject is framed by the textured branches. It required a fair bit of patience to catch it in a clear gap between the foliage, as they are notoriously ‘fleety’ and quick to vanish around the back of the tree.
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.
