Golden hour doesn’t always mean a direct sunlight…. sometimes it’s about quiet shade and patience. A Carolina Chickadee stopping by the backyard perch.

My lens caught this male Ring-necked Duck drifting through still water,

Beautiful foregrounding mate

At water level as the sun rose in the ocean of Cancun, I waited for this Brown Pelican to swim into the orange glow behind him.
Low, slow, and backlit… letting the moment unfold without interruption. 📸🦤🌊

Flat against the lakeshore in search of waterfowl, I watched a Killdeer work the water’s edge ….quick-footed and alert.
