I definitely stayed far back when I was looking at the elephant seals. I did not get anywhere close to 25 feet of them.
A little scene I found in an alley around Little India, Singapore.

The Class of 2019 marched back from Camp Buckner, Monday, Aug. 10, 2015 completing Cadet Basic Training. The New Cadets and cadre passed parents, family and community members as they marched down Washington Road crossing in front of the Superintendent's House - Quarters 100 and then to the apron in front of Washington Hall. Family, friends and supporters proudly held up signs celebrating the end of Cadet Basic Training. They will begin the process of reorganizing into their academic year companies today. Congratulations to the Class of 2019 (and families)!

WIT
In my house there are two kids still enjoying the pleasures of the Dutch educational system. Regularly my services are requested to assist a bit with Math, Physics, Biology or Chemistry (I am not a language type), I visit school every now and then for talks with the staff. I am never far away from my own school feelings and memories. (By the way I actually enjoyed school). And shooting a live pupil and her contemporary learning environment is therefore also very easy. In post lots of colour and light corrections. Especially the lamp in the middle caused a huge burn but Lightroom helped a lot.

I know it's out of fashion
And a trifle uncool
But I can't help it
I'm a romantic fool
It's a habit of mine
To watch the sun go down
On Echo beach, I watch the sun go down

Our backyard is full of blooming trees right now. You would think it would be really easy to get a good shot of some but its tough to find a nice background and good lighting. I'm sure some of you wont like this composition, but the rule of the thirds is meant to be broken every now and then.

Daisies of the Galaxy
"Daisies Of The Galaxy"
Take heart, my little friend
And push back your seat
Soon we'll be far away
Far from the street
Where you learned how to be
Not what you are
Up on the shoulder
There is a town
With a little motel
And an old movie house
We'll go to a movie
Whatever it is
Watching the movie
The world's gonna end
And there ain't a place for
A boy and his friend
To go
I'll pick some daisies
From the flower bed
Of the galaxy theater
While you clear your head
I thought some daisies
Might cheer you up
The Eels
Yes, the focus is off a touch...but I like the pose and the perch. Was so excited
to see this beautiful hawk in this great light that I guess it was a little hand-held shake,
as well. Give it your best shot...do it to the best of your ability...and never look back.
Red-shouldered Hawk ~ Florida Wetlands
****************************************************************************************************
The Red-shouldered Hawk is a medium-sized hawk. Its breeding range spans eastern North America and along the coast of California to northeastern-central Mexico. Red-shouldered Hawks are permanent residents throughout most of their range, though northern birds do migrate, mostly to central Mexico. The main conservation threat to the widespread species is deforestation.
Adults have brownish heads, reddish chests, and pale bellies with reddish bars. Their tails, which are quite long, are marked with narrow white bars. Red "shoulders" are visible when the birds are perched. These hawks' upper parts are dark with pale spots and they have long yellow legs. Western birds may appear more red, while Florida birds are generally paler. The wings of adults are more heavily barred on the upper side. Juvenile Red-shouldered Hawks are most likely to be confused with juvenile Broad-winged Hawks, but can be distinguished by their long tails, crescent-like wing markings, and a more flapping, Accipiter-like flight style. In direct comparison, it is typically larger and longer proportioned than the Broad-wing, though is slightly smaller and more slender than most other common North American Buteos. This bird is sometimes also confused with the widespread Red-tailed Hawk. That species is larger and bulkier, with more even-sized, broad wings and is paler underneath, with a reddish tail often apparent. The Red-tail is also more likely to soar steadily, with wings in a slight dihedral.
Prior to 1900, the Red-shouldered Hawk was one of the most common North American raptors. Population densities have decreased precipitously due to the clearing of mature forests (principally the wet hardwood forest they prefer) since that time. The changing of habitats has led to a general population increase of the Red-tailed Hawk, an occasional predator of its cousin. Additionally affecting the Red-shouldered Hawk was the greater availability of firearms in the early 1900s, leading to unchecked hunting of this and all other raptor species until conservation laws took effect in the latter half of the 20th century. Local forest regrowth and the ban of hunting has allowed Red-shouldered Hawk populations to become more stable again and the species is not currently considered conservation dependent. In Florida, the Red-shouldered Hawk is perhaps the most commonly seen and heard raptor species. However, human activity, including logging, poisoning from insecticides and industrial pollutants, continue to loom as threats to the species.

Habitat
Forest edge, second growth, towns, mangroves, farmlands. Lowlands to 1700m.
Behaviour
[edit] Diet
Diet includes mainly nectar, although they will also take insects, especially when feeding young.
[edit] Breeding
Both adults build the flask-shaped nest, with an overhanging porch at the entrance, and a trail of hanging material
at the bottom end. The 1-2 greenish-blue eggs are incubated for a week. Both parents care for the young which fledge
after a further two weeks.
