One of many red-footed falcons (Falco vespertinus) wandering around in Finland right now. Normally a rarity here they have now made their way to us in probably thousands. Observing and photographing them has definitely been one of the year's highlights so far.

Thanks for viewing, and for any favs/comments.

This treadle (foot-powered) lathe is at Middleton Place, a plantation outside Charleston, SC. The lathe itself is to the right in this photo, under the window. The treadle is visible just to the left of the small chair. Power was multiplied by means of the large flywheel. The light in this room was stunning.

….what more could a photographer ask for? I actually visited this site to photograph a nearby waterfall but the it was inaccessible due to fallen trees from the storms late last year. I was rewarded with this stunning display of bluebells.

This picture represents and interesting event in this chick’s life history. Up to this point, at least during the time I was lucky enough to be watching, the most Junior would do was peck at his food. He relied upon Mom to tear up the prey and feed it to him. They demonstrated a very close bond, lots of Mom preening her pride and joy and sometimes Junior preening Mom. This shot was taken close to sunset. Mom took the foot shown in her beak, a body part Junior in the past seemed to relish, and flew to a nearby branch. From there she made a call I hadn’t heard before. It was explained to me by Karen, a woman also watching, that Mom was attempting to entice Junior to make the short flight from the nest branch to where she was perched with the tasty tidbit. I hadn’t seen the chick attempt to fly but his feathers had grown in a lot and it would not have surprised me to see a short flight. Unfortunately, I can’t get back to the nest until after Junior will have fled the coup but hope he or she has a bright future and will not move too far from the neighborhood. (Bubo virginianus).
