Took a ride over to Sesuit Harbor, East Dennis, on the Bayside of Cape Cod, to get some pictures of boats (which I got), but I kept hearing the loud cries of some bird in the area... finally looked up and saw the osprey nest with one fledgling still in it. I waited, and sure enough, both parent birds came circling back, one with a fish in its talons... and I just kept the camera clicking. I left a lot of sky in this shot to express the freedom of the 'blue'; when these birds fly they own it.

Your patience really payed off with this one. It’s a marvellous photograph full of life and interest. The only fault that I can pick is that it’s not mine :-)

Life's around said Phil the 35 millimetre cameraman. I recently went to the doctors, and said I've got icon fever, but he told me there was no cure for the disease.
