February 8, 2008 - A hawk hunting in Falls Park

A hawk hunting in Falls Park. This photo was taken in downtown Greenville, SC by Denton Harryman and posted at GreenvilleDailyPhoto.com on 2/8/2008.
I took this photo in Falls Park, about a week ago, as well as a photo of the hawk in flight with it’s catch in it’s talons. The in flight photo was blurred so I used PhotoShop on it … If this photo where used in a presentation as a metaphor what metaphor would you suggest.

The idea of using images, as metophers, seems like a powerful presentation tool. I heard of this concept from Dr. Kathy Kegley who will be presenting, at a creativity conference, on the subject of visual metaphors in nature.

PS: Following are a couple of extra photos of a hawk near Falls Park

I’ve seen herons in the Reedy River on several occasions. Great Blue Herons, I believe.

I am so glad you got this hawk in a great picture! I’ve told my husband several times that I have seen one in Falls Park, but every time he comes with me, no dice!

Ah, metaphors. If you use them, understand them, and appreciate them, you have a better understanding of life. I’m in total agreement re. their importance and images are a useful way to create them. This alert sentry is very beautiful.

Good catch! Pun intended. BTW, that’s not the holiday hawk is it? ;)

“This is my lunch - back off”. That’s what I think he is saying!

To me, this speaks ATTENTION.

Amazing! What an opportunity to see the hawk in action. (So glad it’s a squirrel — those pests!)

I saw one of these a few weeks ago in the N Main area of Greenville, only it was larger and had no white. Unfortunately it didn’t have a squirrel in its talons, it had my neighbors little dog which obviously did not survive the ordeal. I wonder if they are coming in town more because of the drought?

Galley, I was lucky to have taken a photo of a Blue Heron in flight on the Reedy River.

ann, I have taken a couple of other photos of the hawks in Falls Park. I’ll include those as a PS: on the original post.

Kate, I suspect your ability to see a metaphor is as good as a hawk’s ability to see a squirrel … hay metaphors are fun.

linkerjpatrick,I Googled Holiday Hawk and got a chuckle from the video.

Leonda, yes I think the hawk was very protective.

Annie, yes he was very attentive of every move I made.

Lessie, I have always understood nature to balance itself as long as man stays out of the equation.

Chris, so sad to hear of a pet taken by a hawk. Hopefully we will get enough moisture to end the drought soon.

Since there is another “ann” with a different link I changed how my name is shown.
Wow! an amazing photo.

Awesome photo!! I love birds of prey, but I also have a special love for squirrels. But the cycle of life most go on. :)
