The one thing it has reminded me to do is to look more attentively  for the images that are there waiting for me to see them. I am good at doing that with birds and wildlife\u2026but I forget sometimes to look down at the ground, or out at the landscape. I have a vague feeling that images like this one are just slightly pretentious\u2026like making a sows ear into a silk purse. Still, I like the image. Sony a6700. Tamron 50-400 at 102mm equivalent.
