A Sign of Good Luck: Storks on the Tree

Hello dear photography lovers!

Lately I have often noticed large and beautiful birds - storks. They naturally build large nests from branches on rooftops, trees and other high places. Storks stand out from other birds. Their long legs, beaks and black and white plumage make them unlike any other.



Peering through the maze of rooftops, I spotted a stork's nest nestled unexpectedly amongst the private dwellings. It surprised me – I always imagined these majestic birds seeking out secluded sanctuaries, far from the prying eyes of humans. This nest, however, embraced the closeness of the neighborhood, a testament to the adaptability of these feathered residents.



As I lingered, captivated by their presence, a curious sensation dawned. The storks, it seemed, were returning the favor. While the locals went about their day, seemingly oblivious to these feathered sentinels, the stork family remained fixated on me. Their watchful gaze, unwavering until I departed, left me with the heartwarming feeling.

I like to see how life blooms around me. It’s worth taking a step beyond the threshold of your home, leaving your comfort zone, and you will see how multifaceted the world is.
