today my dad died, and I no longer have my biggest fan
This is going to be a little deep.
I got into photography because of my dad, we would go on trips and he would pull out the 35mm(s)! I loved the photos!
Back in high school I always used those cameras downtown Chicago.. buildings, light trails, windows, doors, etc
For some reason I stopped....it was always in the back of my mind
Years later Photography came up because of something my Oncologist said to me: I needed a hobby
I had been sending my dad cell phone photos of storms and sunsets in Arizona. It all clicked I should buy a DSLR and the rest is history....39 national parks later 350,000K photos
30,000,000 views
I have my hobby thanks DAD.
RIP ....
Rod Stewart said it best:
"We got but one shot at life, let's take it while we're still not afraid
Because life is so brief and time is a thief when you're undecided
And like a fistful of sand, it can slip right through your hands"
This dad is taking care of his two grackle babies. They're big enough and old enough to feed themselves and often do but as long as dad is willing to cater to them they will take advantage of it.

Let me share a beautiful trip to Morocco last summer ... now confined, everything becomes a little more nostalgic ...
I will make a long series of 60 photos, divided into two parts, one of 30 standard photos and another with 30 more photos, with a much more personal look ... = O)
Hope it helps you to spend your time and get distracted in these strange times ...
Have a nice day and a good week start!
What a good Burrowing Owl dad. He brings breakfast for one of his hungry owlets. Besides being the provider, he also takes out the trash, gives flight lessons, and stands guard over his family and their home. Happy Father's Day.

You can clearly see the loss of feathers on Dad. Mom looses her feathers first, so that she can not fly away, leaving her young alone. Mom grows hers back then it is Dad's turn to loose his. They are starting to slowly come back now, the young learn to fly so both parents need there feathers so they can teach them to fly together. Dad will take a little longer as he was last to loose them.

Thank-you to all who take the time to comment on my photos, it is greatly appreciated!
My month away brought me back here after 11 years, thrilled to reunite with Dad! He's in the background and that is one of his two horses.
I spent yesterday remembering Dad, at one of his favourite parks. Before he went on ahead in 2000, he suggested that we could honour him by taking the grandkids out for ice cream. We continued that tradition yesterday on his birthday. It's good to remember those we've loved and those who've loved us.
We were so very fortunate to see this Western Kingbird nest recently. She was sitting on the nest when we first saw it. When we returned a couple weeks later, the babies were hiding under her. They appeared to be close to fledging so we looked in on them a few days later to find them out of the nest.
Dad was standing guard against Crows and other invaders.
It was such a treat to see them just briefly through the nesting process at a respectable distance. I waited to post until they were gone.
Dads old camera (with bellows!! lol..) on new Joby GorillaPod tripod. Back when you had to manually hand crank the film and watch the little window for the number to increase. lol..
Still have to finish going thru all of dads camera stuff. I love reading the old user manuals!! Being self taught, I always learn something. ;-)
