Raub's Sky and Lalang

Looking at this picture I remember Malay proverb that say;-
"Jangan ikut resmi lalang, semakin tinggi tak berisi. Ikutlah resmi padi, semakin menunduk semakin berisi".
Don't be like lalang, matured but nothing inside. Be like paddy that bend down when it get matured.
Meaning; Stay low and humble, don't be arrogant.

I love the first one of the bird. You must be really proud of it! To get a photo of a bird in action like that is the dream of every nature photographer. Well done!

Is this lens available in your country. can not get anything here in Egypt. would have to go to the uk . and how much would it cost? I may wait and get one when I come over.

Looking at your Bulbul. The shape is the same as the one I have down as a bulbul, but mine is a grey bird
its the only one in my book that is this color. and they are always in pairs

Excellent proverb. I like the low clouds in the third photo. The Bulbul looks like it is imitating a symphony conductor!
