A visit to the zoo (Birds)...Part 3!

Towards the end of your walk in the zoo, you come to a clearing, a beautiful artificial water body providing a sanctuary for water birds. Just standing in there in silence and watching the birds go about their way, indifferent to our presence, could make you feel like you could be meditating with your eyes open! Ever had that feeling when you entered a sacred space, all the noise on the outside and inside your head suddenly seemed to evaporate, leaving you  peaceful and calm? Well that is exactly what it felt like to me!! Once inside, I simply didn't want to leave. But - "When a whiff of beauty enters your heart, it takes more than just the eyes to preserve it!"....
It was like a treat to my camera after it had strained to shoot my pictures through iron bars and flocking noisy crowds. What more could it ask for when you could stand as close as 2 feet and shoot? Well, except for a few ducks that would just keep wading too fast meaning you would need patience + a good shutter speed to get a decent shot!!!

 One of the prettiest geese - Still haven't figured out it's actual name!

Couldn't resist..it was too close and too surreal with the sun shining perfectly on it....:)
