| 説明 | Today I stepped out of my comfort zone when I took this image as the first in my '100 Strangers Project'. I stopped at my girlfriends house on lunch hoping to see and possibly photograph the pair of Cooper Hawks that had chosen a large pine in her backyard to build their nest. I was very limited on time (about 15 min), and though I didn't see the hawks I did meet someone new.Let me introduce you to Ralph. He lives next to Chris and the nesting tree straddles their property line. Ralph saw us wandering about with our camera's clicking off random shots and decided to come out to see what was up. We talked about how excited we were about the possibility of watching the chicks develop. We talked about ways we would all be careful and observe not disturb. He had a great sense of humor and helped us look for owl pellets I planned to use to teach kids more about birds of prey in my docent work. We also found the remains of the hawks breakfast... a woodpecker skull with the bill intact but because it's protected by the migratory bird act, we couldn't do anything with it.It was time for me to return to work and all of a sudden I realized that I had the opportunity to ask my first stranger if he would be willing to let me take his photo and post it as part of my project. I will admit I was a bit nervous asking, but he thought it was a worthy project and thought it was fun that I asked him to be my first victim. (I did say he had a great sense of humor). I look forward to running into him periodically through the season as we all enjoy the novelty of watching nature in action."This picture is #1 in my 100 strangers project.
