In the spirit of the Olympic competition ... for perfection in execution, the osprey are fascinating birds to watch and photograph. Whether they're simply tending to business at the nest, feeding their young, fishing for dinner, bringing back nesting material, or soaring overhead, they possess such awareness of their surroundings and grace in everything that they do. My favorite thing to focus on while photographing these birds are their talons ... so sharp, so executed, so skilled.
Frontal shots of them attempting to land are usually sought after, however, I simply adore the views from behind because I'm equally fascinated by their wings and feathers ... each in the perfect place at the perfect time to aid in a perfect landing. I love their skillful execution of everything that they do.
Yep, usually when I photograph wildlife, I aim for the eye contact, but there are always exceptions to the rule. Case in point. :-)
If you live in Florida, you've got to love the osprey. I know that I do!
To see more of these incredible osprey and read about them, be sure to check out the blog (if you haven't already done so).

After competing in the morning session I grabbed my camera and walked around the course to grab a few images of the competitors participating in the afternoon session and this is one of my local colleagues with an old school underlever spring powered air rifle.

Using parts and pieces of buildings to construct something different is a project I've wanted to work on for a very long time. After a recent (and much-needed) upgrade to the computer system, it is now something I can do. Very happy days!
Have a great weekend everyone...

From pagan fertility rituals to hallucinogenic herbs, the story of witches and brooms is a wild ride. The evil green-skinned witch flying on her magic broomstick may be a Halloween icon—and a well-worn stereotype. But the actual history behind how witches came to be associated with such an everyday household object is anything but dull. It's not clear exactly when the broom itself was first invented, but the act of sweeping goes back to ancient times, when people likely used bunches of thin sticks, reeds and other natural fibers to sweep aside dust or ash from a fire or hearth.
As J. Bryan Lowder writes , this household task even shows up in the New Testament, which dates to the first and second centuries AD.
From the beginning, brooms and besoms were associated primarily with women, and this ubiquitous household object became a powerful symbol of female domesticity..
Despite this, the first witch to confess to riding a broom or besom was a man : Guillaume Edelin.
Edelin was a priest from Saint-Germain-en-Laye, near Paris.
He was arrested in 1453 and tried for witchcraft after publicly criticizing the church's warnings about witches.
His confession came under torture, and he eventually repented, but was still imprisoned for life.
Edelin was the Prior of Saint-Germain-en-Laye, an Augustinian and a Doctor of Divinity. He promulgated the idea that it was impossible for the Devil to make pacts or witches to fly on brooms. After being arrested, he confessed that he had signed a compact with the Devil to satisfy his carnal desires, part of this being that he pretend that witchcraft was impossible. The compact was afterwards found upon his person. He also confessed that he had "done homage to the Enemy, under the form of a sheep, by kissing his posteriors," and to having gone to the Sabbath "mounted on a balai", the first reference to the use of a broomstick in connection with witchcraft
After his capture, he repented and was imprisoned for the rest of his life in the city of Évreux.

One of my favorite parts about kiteboarding is the fact that there really isn't much kiteboarder-windsurfer animosity. I mean, kiteboarding is obviously superior, so there isn't much room for anything besides a few well natured jibes ( haha! ). Everyone is just out to have fun.
As pictured here. I'm the kiteboarder, my buddy Pierce is on the windsurfer in the background. We spend the day racing each other, or just take turns in the lead so that we can show off our jumping skills, and consequently splash-making capabilities. Pretty damn nice.
