Osprey and the Sun

I could have stayed home when the valley was full of smoke but I decided to take it as a challenge for my photography addiction.  It was day two for the heavy smoke covering the  Bow Valley from the historic wildfires in Washington State. I was looking at the Osprey nest and thinking  how to incorporate the sun in the picture. I looked at the Sun's angle to the Osprey's nest and to where I needed to stand. Moving into position I soon realised the trees were in my way. But the Sun was moving through the sky and soon I had my opening, just needed the Osprey to stay front of the nest. I got the pictures I envisioned, but instead of leaving afterward, I decided to wait. It paid of, getting even a better picture when the female took to the air. 

Until next moment,
