These wild turkeys in our neighborhood are getting bold now. They don't really care about human presence anymore. This is now a common daily sighting for us. Life goes on as usual under COVID19.
White becomes blood red.
The storm looms, the Demons roar.
Blood red becomes white.

It’s #batmanday2021 and I’ve been thinking about doing this shot for months! More like half a year since I found the charger for my moon… Anyways, since it’s #batmanday I thought I would reimagine that shot from the #batman1989 movie with my favorite #batwing which is the one from #batmantheanimatedseries . This one is made by @hotwheelsofficial !

the spider who has built the giant web across
our patio door, has given up her web design
practice, too cold and windy, but she still is
hanging around on the frame. Today I took a
few portraits of her with my phone. They were
pretty blah so I decided to solarize them.
Right now we are experiencing heavy rainfall,
Ross had to bring out the pump to keep the patio
from flooding, so the patio door was opened
many times, but she is hunkered down on
the window frame, out of harm's way.

It can get pretty crowded on the narrow offshore reefs around Toby Island, south of Hornby Island, BC, that are favourite places for Steller sea lions (Eumetopias jubatus, a species at risk) to pull out on and grab a bit of shut-eye. On a favourite rock, one individual barks a warning at another trying to usurp its place.

Few of us who are not working with an eagle center will ever have the privilege of getting within touching distance of an eagle. If we did, one of the marvelous aspects we would inspect is their four talons on each leg as seen extended in this photo I shot last week.
Most of us have observed an eagle either carrying a good sized fish or other prey that he is taking to a seat on the other side of the restaurant to eat in peace.
Though there are special circumstances when an eagle can carry heavier prey, most scientists estimate the physical make-up of an eagle makes anything over a half dozen pounds very difficult to lift.
Scientists measure grip strength using various terms such as pounds per square inch (PSI). One of the testing instruments they use is a dynamometer.
The average hand grip strength of an adult man is measured around 70 PSI, a woman typically measures in the mid-40s (unless they were raised on a farm and milked cows).
Researchers at HawkQuest in Colorado estimate an eagle’s grip strength is at least 10 times that of the human hand which enables them to pick up prey and lock their talons into it as they fly.

Vacation finally arrived and my husband, Bernie and I went out to visit Bonaventure Island. This Quebec Provincial Park, located in Percé Quebec, is the largest Northern Gannet colony in North America.
Gannets are members of the sulidae family. Over 125,000 Gannets arrive at Bonaventure Island in April to reproduce.
They mate for life, each year returning to the same nest, both parents take turn brooding their single egg during 45 days.
The pairs greet each other ceremoniously whenever one of them returns from sea.
In October, the gannets depart for the Gulf of Mexico.
These magnificent seabirds symbolize lifelong faithfulness.

This Peregrine Falcon was less than 2 months old, It fledged a couple days before,and was flying around the nest more confident each day. Impressive how quickly this one , and two other siblings developed.
This vacant barn sandwiched between a storm and peeks of the sun, gives off a calm assurance that it has persevered through many storms. My German father raised 8 kids on a small farm, never had much and faced a lot of challenges. But he instilled in us a phrase, "we'll get through it" that still serves us well.

This is what gets me where I go when my legs can't walk that far...or maybe just don't want to.......my beloved VR6.
It was hard for me to find a place with low enough ambient to pull this one off. I'd been brewing at this one for a while, but never got down to trying it. Tonight seemed like a good night.
Strobist Info:
I duct taped 3 SB-28's to a light stand, each on it's own level so it could be adjusted individually and each with it's own pocket wizard. I also had an SB-26 on the top, and I had taped a little white piece of paper on the 2nd to upper most SB-28 to bounce light up and trigger the 26 (check out the picture below). By the time I got a shot I was happy with, the cheapo batteries I was using in the 26 died on me, so I only have 3 firing instead of 4. I had so many misfires, dealing with light bouncing issues, recycling issues and my shoe coming off in the mud issues. This was all done on bulb mode, and I realized when I arrived that I had no timer, so I just did some guess work/counted out loud to myself as I walked. If anyone had been around, I'm sure I'd have seemed like a weirdo.
What I think I ended up with was a 38 second exposure at f/11 and iso 200. I had my strobes set at 1/16th power, which was where I found they recycled quick enough, but where still powerful enough at iso 200 to still be able to push a fairly closed down aperture for a semi star as opposed to just a blob of light. This is a single exposure. I just walked around the car holding the light stand, and firing it off with my master PW which I held in my other hand. I just tried to keep a steady rhythm around the car. My arm is sore....

Green Heron Fledgling out of the nest. One of two, quite challenging to get anything approaching a clear shot. This was the third angle with the least layers of branches and leave to see through.

The first station on the MRT line in Manila is the only station where one can get a seat, and it's a mad rush to get through the door and grab one.

I'm sorry about the other day and will be commenting on your pics today.
Put the Canon FD 28mm 3.5 SC lens that is stuck at f3.5 on a reverse macro ring on the Canon 5D Mark II and took it out to get some shots of snowflakes on my mitten.

Well its definitely been a busy couple of weekends for Photography! Delamere Forest, Snowdonia/Anglesey, Llangollen and Mam Tor! I have my friend Ade to thank for that, if it wasnt for him wanting to get out and about i wouldnt have gone to these stunning locations!
Funnily enough both weekends we've had someone different come along for the day out. I have to point out that neither of them were into Photography! Not once did they moan though, they just took in the surroundings whilst me and Ade faffed around with our camera/drone.
The little guys are getting so much bigger. Had to get the tripod out to get a nicer one. I think a few more days until they decide to leave the nest.

"Get Down Tonight", a song released in 1975 by the disco group KC and the Sunshine Band, became the first of their five No. 1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100…
The KC Bar in Gridley, Ca. is a small dive bar in a town of 7,224 folks and the fact that it still has its neon cocktail glass in place is A-OK in my book...

I photographed this male Marico Sunbird on the Okaukuejo Lodge grounds on June 4, 2015. It was a chellegne to get any good shots as he was constantly chasing outher sunbirds away from these flowers.

Our city's Bon Soo Winter Carnival will be starting soon (Feb 1 - 10). Unfortunately, the weather has been terrible for the workers trying to prepare the children's Winter Playgound. On Tuesday it poured rain all day - real mess! Then on Wednesday, our whole city was shut down by a blizzard. So today, Thursday, I drove by and saw this poor fellow trying hard to get this area ready for the opening this weekend! Kids love this part of the carnival as is has the ever famous "bum slides". I hope to post more photos of it once the carnival is in full swing.

Looking back at the top portion of the John Haynes Ridge trail where we had climbed up from the North Prong Spur trail. You can see evidence of dust in the air, the wind was blowing through the night before and continued with gusts up to 50 mph. Trails were getting scoured of any loose dirt.
