Approximately 15,000 U.S. service members are participating in a joint training exercise hosted by U.S. Pacific Air Forces May 3-14, 2021. NE21 is one in a series of U.S. Indo-Pacific Command exercises designed to sharpen the joint forces' skills; to practice tactics, techniques, and procedures; to improve command, control, and communication relationships; and to develop cooperative plans and programs.

I sometimes like to practice the photographic eye with minimalistic street photography, trying to capture aspects of spring (or any other season), when looking down at the city's pavement. © Tom Kisjes
This is another New York City building reflection. Shooting and processing this type of photo are both interesting exercises. The processing in this case is built around the latest version of the Tony Kuyper (V6) luminosity mask plug in for Photoshop. There are several new very interesting actions associated with the latest version. The Smart Orton action is very useful.
Han: I dunno, sweetheart, this whole thing seems a little hokey to me...
Lando: Come on, buddy! Just fall backwards, I'll catch ya, I promise!
As the third in the green stream series, I saw this small section of Rock Creek and decided that I needed to get in tight to catch this shot. Needless to say, I got wet for this shot but then if it's a mountain stream, I am usually in it. I HAD to maneuver to the right spot in order to compose this shot. I'll be the one with the wet jeans. I will say that my longer zoom was handy in this particular spot.
eDDie got a wild hare (Loveland tularemia, probably) to go specifically to Rock Creek above Allenspark to hunt wildflowers and he called me up. I have been up there several times and knew the area and the route. I am sure that he was not ready for the experience. He was astounded by the number of campers that could pack into this narrow gully by the nasty road/trail. I have not been up here since the flood but it looks like it got badly hit. The Forest Service kindly marked our parking space with a "closed for revegetation" sign. Handy! I bailed his Blazer like a flash, well at my flash speed. I was ready to shoot with my long lens. The normal zoom would have been a lot better plan. I was already busy shooting when eDDie came by on his way after wildflowers, great stuck with my stream shots and ended up with enough for a series.
Actually, Rock Creek flows more quickly down and through Ferncliff instead of toward Allenspark. There are a large number of possibilities up this creek (pronounced crick in the Rockies) and for me, it lead to the one-legged man in the trouser factory syndrome but this was easier to keep the campers from the frame. I decided, without input, to start a green stream series from the lot that I snapped. As I opened the captures, I usually feel that I left shots behind no matter where I visit, eDDie's or my venues.
After I started editing my original shots of Rock Creek, I thought of the bounty of camper cars parked up the trickle. I decided I might return with my normal zoom during the week for a massive plunder of captures.
My third attempt at sketching a pile of books to learn how to construct volumes. Proportions are still off, but the angles are more accurate than in the second attempt.
The books are:
Anna Ahmatova Poetry Volume 2
Memoirs of Nadezhda Mandelshtam
John E Bowlt's "Moscow and St. Petersburg in Russian's Silver age"
I'd love to learn more about poetry, specially the poetry of Russian Silver Age. I should start by reading through all the poetry, history and memoirs books I own.
Aleph drops in on his men during some morning exercises. It's good to be prepared at all times, never know when the next contract will arrive.
Left over Night Creeper shot!!
I couldn't manage the "bar swing" in gymnastics. Obviously, it's easier with 2x2 gripping tools. :-)

MAKIFROG (Phyllomedusa)
Makifrogs (Phyllomedusa) are a genus of tree frogs (Phyllomedusinae), a subfamily of leaf frogs. There are 16 species found in the rainforests of South America.
Makifrogs can oppose their fingers and toes. This allows them to grasp even thinner parts of plants and climb up them. They are considered excellent climbers. Their body shape is unusually angular for frogs. The smaller species grow to about 5 to 7 cm in size, while females of the giant makifrog (Phyllomedusa bicolor) reach a head-torso length of up to 12 cm.
The animals spend the day in dry, warm places. To protect themselves from dehydration, they cover their skin with a waxy layer. At night, they go in search of food such as spiders, insects, etc. Makifrogs move slowly, climbing as they go. Only when their prey is within reach do they snap at it with lightning speed.

Story about a class of IMPACT (Intensive Motivational Program of Alternative Correctional Treatment) inmates in Louisiana. It's a program for first-time offenders for certain crimes that allows them to avoid incarceration in the general population and upon completion do probation. I made 6-7 trips to the prison in Gonzales, La. to follow one group from their first day there until graduation day over several months in 1989.
Keith Lawrence and I worked on this one for several months before it was published in the Sunday Magazine.

Net Flicks strikes again - this time with a pair of Armée de l'Air Dassault Mirage 2000's, 113/12-YO and 122/12-YA
It's November 2004 and here they taxi to hold with another pair for their departure slot at RAF Waddington during one of the then regular ACMI exercises
Held out on the old North Sea Ranges, twelve French Mirages were there with five Belgian Air Force F-16MLU Vipers plus five Royal Navy Sea Harriers
Must have been fun as I'm sure the bar was later
