Wednesday Walk - Spring Gloom
Here is a gloomy spring day for this #wednesdaywalk by @tattoodjay
I heard the robins singing early in the morning and decided to go out to try and capture some of them with my zoom lens.
But as I looked out the window of my balcony it was quite rainy and gloomy outside. I don't mind the gloom in spring, it usually means lots of rain which will be good for mushroom hunting later.
The gloom makes the leafless trees look ominous. It creates a nice texture for #monomad posts :-)
Some sun was able to make it through the clouds for some contrast. I had to take advantage of the sunrays to try and get my robin photos.
This one posed nicely and there was just enough light to make it not blurry in my zoom lens.
This one also posed nicely on the fence near the lake. Robins are always welcome in late winter because they signal warmer days ahead.
I also saw a little downy woodpecker above me. It was mostly a silhouette because of the gloom from the sky.
The ducks were making the best of the gloom, they don't care if it rains as they are waterproof, but I wonder if the darkness makes it harder for them to forage for stuff on the bottom of the lake.
After a gloomy slightly chilly walk the best thing you could do is go to a south Indian restaurant and get a dosa to dip in spicy sauces. They are basically a ridiculously large crepe made out of rice flour and chickpea flour. You just peel of little pieces of it and dip it in the sauces until its gone, quite filling.
That's all for now, thanks for looking :-)
Love all the photos both the moody trees and the beautiful birds
Thanks for joining Wednesday Walk :), I truly enjoy exploring the world virtually each Wednesday seeing walks from all around the globe and feeling I am there and experiencing it all myself, such as I did in your post just now :)
Thanks :-) with all this rain its going to be really green here pretty soon.
And hopefully here as well been raining all day today and more next few days hopefully will bring new fresh greens
People's lawns are already green, and I've been harvesting some wild chives out in the forest. No good mushrooms yet though.
We are seeing the greens coming out now
Soon you will be seeing mushrooms there I am sure
Beautiful capture of the birds especially the robins.
I like moody /gloomy photographs, they are special.
That's a large crepe... looks delicious.
Dosas are amazing if you can find a place that makes them.
Haven’t found them in the area I live... But we are traveling tonight to visit family abroad. Maybe we find some there.
We have not seen any family in over 2 years. So we are looking forward to our first holiday / family visit again since the pandemic started.
Its nice to finally start traveling again after the mayhem. We'll see if the draconian travel measures ever fade away now that the politicians have a bit of emergency powers from it.
Yes… we will see. But we are still very cautious. And won’t go to far. (Yet)

"ridiculously large" haha But I'm sure I could work my way through it. Robins are thick on the lawns and fields here right now. Getting fat on all the bugs under last falls leaves and grass. Love that "almost" mono shot. Its always fun to find a photo like that...a naturally occuring effect that people try to recreate with edits because it so awesome. Awesome!
We always order a dosa and other food then realize all we could really eat was the dosa. Robins have it easy around here where everyone's lawn is basically and endless buffet of nightcrawlers. I still have no idea how they can hear or see what they are about to wrench from under the ground.
the good side is that it often rains mushrooms can grow easily and we had no trouble finding them, I thought what was a sin, it turned out to be a typical Indian food, because in Indonesian the word "dosa" is the opposite of good deeds.
haha It is a sort of sinful decadence of a meal. In hindi dosa just means thin crispy pancake.
Hello dear friend @sketch.and.jam good afternoon
What a beautiful collection of images you show us in this opportunity. excellent shots, congratulations
I appreciate that you let us know these tender images
have a beautiful afternoon
Thanks for looking :-) even on gloomy days there are plenty of opportunities for interesting photos.
Incredible, I am very interested in the bird pictures you show.
The robins are one of the first signs of spring around here. Once they arrive then you know winter is fading away.
beautiful 😍
Thanks :-)
Sunlight is the best source of light, and I love telephoto and zoom lenses. I love hunting in the sun. Ducks are really waterproof and interesting to me
My zoom lens does pretty bad in low light situations, that's when you need to bring the tripod.
If you buy a good camera lens and windshield, the problem will be noise and everything.
Refreshing to the eyes! ❤️ wonderful photography dear.. great work!
Nothing like the nice fresh spring rainy season. Soon everything will be bright green here.
