"By all means marry. If you get a good wife, you'll be happy. If you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher." - Socrates
LOL. So - Socrates thinks that valentines may probably be not happy after marriage?
Perhaps true for humans but when I look at the wild world, that does not seem to be true. I have often found birds/animals which are in a 'Valentinish' mood and stick together with a lot of care and compassion. That does not mean that they do not have mood swings in the relationship though!
Here I will present some pair pics that I have clicked during my wildlife photography outings and quote my interpretation of the moods of the couples - See if you agree 😀
Starting with ....
'STEAMY relationship' mood
These two parakeets seem to be almost about ready to get a room ! 🤣
'Stay away from me!' mood
Can you believe it that it is the same parakeet couple but in a skirmish mode? 😀
'Warm and cozy with each other' mood
These two barn owls sat together for hours on cold winter night. Just so comfortable with each other...
'Giving each other space' mood
These ferral dogs were together on this beautiful beach but were giving each other space to do their own thing.
'Just being with you is heaven' mood
Sometimes, couples in love just sit silently and relish the moment. Each partner understands the moment and the feelings without a word. Just like these tri-colored finches.
and finally,
'Damn - where is my lawyer' mood!
Don't these spotted owlets look like they have had a fight and are both looking for a divorce lawyer? 😂
I really had fun watching these wildlife couples. Capturing them together took many days and attempts but in the end, I think I got some nice clicks. I also enjoyed imagining their moods 😀
What do you think ? Do you agree with the moods I have captioned? Have you attempted or would you attempt anything like this in photography? If so, please share your experience in comments.*
Please comment freely and let me know your opinion. I will try to bring many different types of wildlife photos/macro/Astro posts to the community. Feedback and comments are welcome,. I am still learning many techniques and always value feedback from experts in this community.
Have a nice day everyone. Cheers!
