nature sanctuary at the massapequa preserve



























last saturday around 6pm I was riding my bike when as I turned a bend in the trail, I suddenly heard what sounded like hundreds of birds all chirping at once, like they were all meeting and greeting for the dinner hour. it was really wild. I stopped here to see if I could get a glimpse of what was making the noise. apparently they were all flitting from tree to tree, but the little noisemakers were too far away for me to get a good picture. so I settled for this.
I love nature, the perfect word for today's letter N. if you'd like to see other representations of the letter N or if you'd like to add your own N representation please visit 'abc wednesday'.

What a gorgeous place! And the colors are fantastic! What a terrific shot you were able to get -- with or without the birds! As Wanda said, maybe next time, but this is perfect as it is! Hope your week is going well, Lily!

This is a beauitful autumn photo, Lily! I love when the birds all gatherin a bunch and chirp together as if they were gossiping :)

Those colors are amazing, simply amazing. Look at that pinky-purply-red ...I'm glad you got to hear the birds, but your photo is perfect in and of itself.

Wow that really is something! If i am a bird or whatever 'something' not a human being, i certainly would love to stay there! As if they also see beauty as we do, i bet they see beauty when food is abundant. haha! I envy your biking grounds.

The perfect moment. The light is so cool, yet the colors are so full fifty yards back. You've done yourself proud.
