المطر يا بو خليفه هل و اسقى ثراك
وادمعت عين السما على الأرض تبكيك
كنه يقول المطر وينك فقدناك
ندعيلك في يوم اتحادك يا بعد عين غاليك
ربي ارحمه و اجعله في جناتك و رحماك
يا زايد كل قطره بداعي الخير تطريك

This is the 2nd Northern saw-whet owl I've ever seen.
Here's a rare case where someone reported a Northern saw-whet owl in E-Bird without the "H.O." descriptor (Heard Only). In fact, there were multiple reports, some with good descriptions where to find it. So, being within 100 miles of the location, I drove out to find it...
Bridgeport State Park (WA):
It was about 10-feet up, tucked deep into a smallish pine tree right along a road next to the campground (as reported by helpful E-Bird contributors).
Bridgeport State Park doesn't draw big crowds on cold, Winter weekdays. I was the only person in the park (other than a ranger driving around). This meant I could drag the tripod out and take my time quietly setting up without getting in anyone else's way. I didn't want to bother the owl for too long, so I took a few shots from a few different angles, and left it alone pretty quickly.
Though, like the last saw-whet owl I saw, it didn't seem scared or annoyed. Its eyes opened occasionally to see what I was doing, then closed them again.
Final note: These owls are hilariously small. So small that it was hard to see it -- even after I knew where it was.

#83/365 Haven't done a tilt shift in a while so here is one. I know several of you can figure out where this is.
i've always loved this school picture, because I actually had a broken arm -- I wanted my picture taken with the sling around my neck, but the photographer insisted not!
I have stuck in many people's memory from that year in school, because I actually broke BOTH arms, sequentially (not at the same time) -- first one I fell down on the school playground at a parent-teacher conference night -- skinned my knee & didn't even notice my arm, til the next morning when mom decided I was holding my arm strangely and asked if I could rotate my wrist -- I looked blankly at her and said, "no, why?" so I'd fractured my right wrist -- spent six weeks in a sling, and then the day after I got it off, I fell down rollerskating and broke my left arm.
yes, i am clumsy.
my grandmother crocheted that dress for me -- my sister had one with a sort of raspberry color instead of the green.

Father Brown country.
The Church of England parish church of St Peter and St Paul, Brockley, Gloucestershire, 2nd February 2023.
The church doubles as St Mary's Roman Catholic church in the BBC Father Brown television series and has also featured in an episode of the BBC series Dalziel and Pascoe.
The church was built in about 1180 with a major upgrade around 1310. At the end of the 14th century the north aisle was added, and the south porch was added in 1630. The bell tower was built in 1725, probably replacing an earlier one. The church was restored, and the north porch added in 1871. It is a Grade II listed building.

Having been looped at Carnforth, there was an opportunity to get ahead of this train for a second bite at the cherry.

Free talk in New York on Dec 15th at B&H Photo - A Firehose of HDR
See the photo below? One of the most common questions I get is "How do you make an HDR out of a single photo?" Well, I'll go over that and more on Dec 15th at noon at the Incredible B&H Photo in New York. You can get more New York B&H event info here.
Also, you may know that B&H is a partner of Stuck in Customs -- I recommend you buy from them on my Digital SLR recommendations page.
Daily Photo - Chicago from a Chopper
Chicago is an awesome city and I always have a good time there. This time of year, it gets a bit cold... and if you don't have a good coat pre-buttoned before you go outside, well, that's a big mistake.
I have a good friend there that arranged a helicopter for me in Chicago and took the door off! I hung out for a few hours battling the backwash as we circled the city and flew in and out of the buildings. This is one of the shots from that series, and I hope you enjoy looking at it as much as I did shooting it!

The fields above Redcastle on the northern side of the Beauly Firth have some interesting structural remains (possibly) within them. Whenever I pass I wonder what used to be here now overgrown by trees.
With a forecast of a mix of sun and clouds i left home at 5 am to make my 2nd attempt of capturing the sunrise at this location . When i stepped out the house there was a mix of sun and clouds and calm winds, it looked like it was going to be a good sunrise but by the time i got here the clouds had moved out leaving one large cloud on the horizon exactly where the sun was going to rise and the winds were gusting up to 40km/h. Disappointed with what was before me i decided to throw on my 9 Stop ND filter and salvage what i could of my trip

Where does this road go?
To this guy's place. A guy who did some very bad shit. In fact, in my opinion, he doesn't deserve to live.
Whoa. That's a little extreme, isn't it?
After what he did, the guy says, "you can have my gun when you pry it from my cold dead fingers." So I say, sounds like a good idea to me.
Land of the free, home of the brave. right?
To the max.
Two years ago today My Sister's Closet Blog was formed, with the hopes of one day being a well known blog. I'm not sure if it's well known or not, but what I do know is it has been one hell of a ride. It's a lot of work and yet so rewarding and that was compounded by the friendships made over the years. Without you all, the sponsors, the followers, and even the naysayers this blog would have died by now. You all kept me going and I appreciate all the support and love I have received. I poured my heart and soul into this blog, because of my love of fashion and photography. I can't believe it's been two years, the time passed so fast. I still enjoy blogging and I plan to continue on for as long as it's fun.
Many many thanks xoxo Indigo
