So there I was, at the side of a single track road with a deep ditch in front of me and just beyond that, a single black grouse male in the field, close by, but behind sheep fencing, preventing me getting a clear shot. Nothing else for it but to creep slowly along, then gradually raise myself to full height to get the shot over the top of the fence. Too much excitement for both me and the bird as he took off, but I was pleased to have a couple of fair shots.
See I'm not walkin' on it
Or tryin to run around it
This ain't no acrobatics
You either follow or you lead,
Yeah I'm talkin' bout you,
I'll keep on blaming the machine,
Yeah I'm talkin' bout it,
T-t-t-talkin' bout it
I can't complain about it
I gotta keep my balance
And just keep dancin on it
We gettin funky on the scene
Yeah you know about it
Like a star on the screen
Watch me tip all on it
You gotta keep your balance
Or you fall into the gap
It's a challenge
But I manage
Cause I'm cautious with the strap
Some callin' me a sinner
Some callin' me a winner
I'm callin' you to dinner
And you know exactly what I mean,
Yeah I'm talkin' bout you
You can rock or you can leave
Watch me tip without you
Now whether I'm high or low
(High or low)
Whether I'm high or low
(High or low)
I'm gonna tip on the tightrope
(Tip, tip on it)
(Happy Birthday)
Tightrope

The biggest shopping day of the year? I avoided the mall until late afternoon and then found it to be almost deserted. I was happy to shop the sales without the crowds!
The kitties got their Christmas present early…a new, tall scratching post. They almost got three new brothers (I was so tempted by the kittens at PetSmart), but I exercised some restraint.

With another Scottish expedition looming, I thought I should upload another photo from the trip last month. Dawn was just breaking when I got this shot of a Black Grouse.

Got the new year off to a great start by shooting in a friends studio with Karley. She has a great spirit and is so nice to work with. We shoot on white seamless and for this one look I wanted to change things up and go grey by killing the background speedlights. It didn't work out as well as I'd like since we didn't have any v-flats and I was unable to control spill well enough, so I had to tweak it in post.

Black paint sure seems to show up flaws, even without the gloss. Scratches, skids, dents, and drips are difficult to hide.
Thankfully, the wheels haven't been painted or plated black.
