16th Day of Ramadan
Al-Hamdu Lillah, today was the 16th day of the blessed month of Ramadan. One of the names of this month is "The Month of the Qur'an". Through part of today's walk, I listened to an audio lecture about the Holy Qur'an. It was beautiful to experience a combining of learning and nature.
The below photos were taken today in Oakville at a pond near Great Lakes blvd and Creek Path Ave and on some trails off of Nautical Park. Among the birds I saw were woodpeckers and goldfinches.
Around the pond, I noticed a gentlemen with a zoom lens on his camera taking photos of birds. He was kind enough to speak with me for a time. He told me he got into photography in 1979 and specifically bird photography 5 years ago. He was a wealth of information when it came to birds and I learned so much in our short but enlightening conversation.
Interestingly enough, a famous poem about birds was referenced in the audio lecture I had been listening to just before.
OMG…I love how you was able to capture the reflection of the sky in the water. The second picture 😍 I love how the flowers are vivid that blue and the green wow. The tree branches have such a beautiful pink tone to them one of my favorite colors.
Beautiful tones of blue. Love the reflection on the lake. Thank you for sharing.
These beautiful pictures remind me of when I lived in Richmond BC.They are spectacular!
These photos are so rich in colour, I feel like I’m there.
Mashallah, I am loving the photos. Something about the clear sky and flowers brings optimism.
