I hope to capture Papua New Guinea’s elusive bird-of-paradise in its natural habitat on my next visit (flying to Port Moresby tomorrow). And so, what better way to condition myself to the challenge than starting a series with what bird photos I already have and hope that the bird-of-paradise will grace the series soon.

The drag of endless mental work in a strange land takes its toll. Fatigue can kill so petty escapades provide hopeful deviations from the brewing madness. An aging DSLR keeps good company to a walk around the neighbourhood, a short drive to a scenic place, or a silent recollection in a quiet nook granting that the host community and the elements of nature would allow one a safe passage to solitude and contemplation. Loneliness quickly turns to joy when something exciting gets captured by the cam’s shutter then set free into the laptop’s screen followed by electric words that rush from the fingers to the keyboard in an effort to describe the moment. Alas, the brain is alive once again!
WOW …. some colors this little bird .. has! Stunningly beautiful. Well done.
