This weekend, I had my first portrait session at Dowses Beach in Osterville... my favorite beach for photographs... I've had other beach sessions in this early part of our season, but going to Dowses is like going home... I know the beach so well, a part of my spirit comes alive while I'm photographing there... I'll be there all summer, photographing families and seniors, but there's something about the first session of the season that's special, and this one was made even more so....
Upon arriving, there was a male Osprey hanging out lazily (as they're prone to do) near his nest, where his mate was sitting (perhaps on eggs?). I (always being early!) had a few minutes to spare, and jumped out of my car to get him on his perch, and she on hers, but I guess I made him nervous, and off he flew... I stood (at a good distance from his nest, lest anyone think I was encroaching on him) and watched him circle... What amazing birds they are. How lucky we are that we didn't lose them entirely. Thank God for Rachel Carson, and those early environmentalists...
