Laguna di Grado (GO)

When I saw the report that the Leucistic Bald Eagle made an appearance in the morning I knew I had to take my chances at this super rare raptor. I left at 4a.m. and drove two hours South. I had to wait for the sun to rise, but found him immediately crunching bones from a fish he was holding down on the mudflats. Shortly after he perched just above us next to the walking trail. Still no light but extremely close. He was very calm as he did not flinch when a jogger came by. He flew to this Eucalyptus several times and perched calmly for several minutes. The light was starting to filter through the leaves in the background as this majestic beauty posed for us. It was a very awe inspiring experience I will never forget. We had a solid two hours to photograph him that morning. He eventually flew off into the distance and we were admiring and reflecting on this one of a kind beauty.

I haven't had a kalanchoe quite like this one. New blooms keep appearing daily. I like using them for macro shots and am having fun experimenting with washi paper backgrounds. I like the way the buds showed up in this pic.

Please note that long lists of group invites will be vapourised.

Another from last year. The background is natural - just the early light falling on golden grass with the butterfly in my shadow and a tweak or two of the exposure.

Find a distant background of fresh greens,

Add a couple of sprigs of rosemary,

Finish off with one New Holland Honeyeater,

Best served up on a bright sunny day!

In Denmark, during 2nd World War, people got rationing tickets (at the background) that you could use to buy 20 g white bread (FRANSKBRØD) or 40 g rye bread (RUGBRØD)... you could also try to forget misery if you had a music box like this... and you'd rather had a standard weight unit (like the one to the right) to ensure you got the right amounts of flour... it is difficult to imagine how much people wanted to escape from that time... I am happy that we kept these coupons, music box and weight to remind us about how good life is these days in spite of everything :-)
