“There are no rules for good photographs; there are only good photographs.” Ansel Adams. When a photo feels right to you, it's good—regardless of likes or rankings. Your taste matters, and that’s what makes your perspective unique.

We can’t all be brilliant; National Geographic wouldn’t know what to do with all that brilliance if everyone were great. Most photographers and artists are so hard on themselves that they miss the joy of creating. Remember, all art is good; it's about who sees it and what they feel, not just technical perfection.

I had visions of sitting on a step with my Canon 100mm–400mm, patiently waiting for a Cape Robin to take a bath; he did it on Thursday after all—no such luck. But I'm excited to see what the Golden Hour will reveal during my walkabout later.

I look for shapes, lines, objects, textures, and colours, both matching and mismatched. The ever-changing light creates mood swings, and my perspective shifts. We go mussel picking, and I see brushstrokes in the sky as the sun sets. When the light was quite grey, the Flamingos came in from the North, but it was too late for me.   

Today was just an ordinary day, a carefree, lazy Sunday, a welcome break after all the business of Easter. Let's see what tomorrow has in store.  

“Which of my photographs is my favourite? The one I’m going to take tomorrow.” – Imogen Cunningham
