Catching a glimpse

Pycnonotus sinensis)

驚鴻一瞥，白頭翁阿肥

A Light-vented Bulbul (Pycnonotus sinensis) called A-Pui came to my my balcony in the morning in Taichung, Taiwan. The season with small fruits on my balcony has passed, therefor A-Pui seems to less come here. Unexpectedly, she suddenly flew to my balcony in the morning. She took a brief rest on a branch of blue jacaranda (Jacaranda mimosifolia). She showed her attractive posture and looked at me.

I just had a camera on my hand. I was planning to use it to photograph some insects. I quickly switches the exposure parameters and took the picture before her leaving. Even with only a short pancake lens, I was satisfied. I like the image that she stayed there with many green leaves around.

陽台有小果子的季節過了，白頭翁阿肥最近似乎也因此比較少 出現。沒想到早上她突然飛來，停在藍花楹枝條上，擺出她的招 牌賣萌姿勢看我。

手上剛好有相機，本來是打算近拍昆蟲用的，我迅速切換曝光 條件，趕在她起飛前拍下這驚鴻一瞥。即使只有短的餅乾鏡頭， 我還是拍得心滿意足。我喜歡有許多綠葉圍繞著她的影像。
