The administrator of Whatbird.com identifies this hawk as a Juvenile Ferruginous Hawk!
That would be my first (but not my last) :)
The last of my Glacier images from this summer. I'm using this image, which is a Marc Adamus compstomp, to ask all my contacts for a little help. I would never make it as a professional photographer partly because I feel pretty uncomfortable promoting myself, which is as important to being successful in this business as actually shooting good pictures. When I see the work of some of the real talents out there in Landscape Photography, I can be honest with myself about where I stand in the grand scheme of things.... and it makes me thankful that I have another source of income so I don't starve. :)
I may not have much confidence in my own work, but I WILL brag about recognizing those photographers who are really exceptional. I ran into Ian Plant and Joe Rossbach in Canyonlands while they were teaching a workshop last year. Familiar with the immense talent they possess behind the lens, I was struck by their friendly demeanor and good nature. Ian was good enough to share some advice with me when I was shooting slot canyons for the first time, and I've assimilated tons of useful information through his daily photo blog. In short, as astounding a photographer as he is, he's a better man.
It has come to my attention that Ian is in the running for a trip to the North Pole. I'm selfishly asking for your help in sending him on his way. I say selfishly because I really REALLY want to see the amazing images he comes back with. Take a look at what he did in Patagonia, and you will see what I mean. For Christmas, if you want to get me something (I'm an extra-large, by the way), I would really appreciate it if you would go HERE, register, and vote to send Ian on this trip. I guarantee you will be pleased with the results.
This is the last image from my family Glacier trip this summer. Ryan showed me this spot after I begged him for a few months, and we spent several days here trying to get decent light. Steve and I shot this mere minutes before we were enveloped in thick fog for over an hour. It dawned on me about 30 minutes after getting socked in that this was the very same location that a bear poked his head up behind that tree when Steve, Ryan, and Jesse were here the year before. This made me nervous, as we couldn't see 10 feet in front of us for quite some time. I would like to personally apologize to the mountain goats that came roaming up their goat path. Apparently they don't like bear spray in their eyes, but hey, all paw/hoof steps sound the same to me when you can't see anything!
Yes, this is a composite. I zoomed in on the moon because at 16mm it looked like the lint I occasionally find in my belly button. Back to work. Thanks for making 2010 such a great year.
I guess I'm not supposed to put my website address here, so it's in My Profile if anyone cares.

Por esa ayuda que nunca se pide, pero que se grita en silencio. Por esa mano amiga que te levanta a peso muerto.

Once known as King’s Cove, the little inlet is now named for its most famous resident. John Carter was given the moniker the ‘King of Prussia’ for his resemblance to Frederick the Great, who ruled those lands and whom he much admired.
But Carter himself was not royalty – he and his brothers Harry and Charles were notorious Cornish smugglers in the 1700s.
Instead of a life working down the tin mines they took to making a tidy profit by smuggling spirits and other contraband in to England, using the remote cove as their operation centre. John Carter was known as the brains behind the racket, living above the cove and even building a secret tunnel into the house on the rocks to help vanish away his precious bounty when it came in by boat.
The brothers were so prolific that in the 1780s, half of all the brandy drunk in Britain was said to be smuggled through Prussia Cove. By the time the King mysteriously disappeared in 1807 they were legendary, known locally as ‘honest’, even gentlemanly pirates, despite the occasional skirmish with a revenue boat in the waters between Cornwall and France. They once even broke into the Customs house in Penzance to steal back the contraband goods they’d had confiscated.
Today it has a small harbour and slipway and is still used by local fishermen.

The draconian ruling of the Polish Constitutional Court which bans pregnancy terminations even in instances where a foetus is diagnosed with a serious and irreversible birth defect, has brought thousands of people to the streets. The protesting crowd is predominantly young and ridicules the governments as much as it despises it. For many of these young adults, it's the first time their lives become political. They'll kick out the government sooner or later (with a little help of their friends in my generation).

Along with stamps, my grandmother collected old coins as well. I have scanned a few of her older ones here, and am interested in finding out some information about these as well. I scanned 5 of them here, and did a side by side, front and back. Some of them are really kinda neat! Again, if anyone knows anything about them, I would appritiate some help! :o)

..once I am gone, who will protect the fragile ecosystems by munching on the grass at the bottom of the seas and oceans ( I am a vegetarian), thus allowing the other marine species to live?...or who will bury their nutients-filled eggs in the sand, which help stop errosion of your beaches?... just wondering...
ONLY ONE COMMENT AND/OR INVITE, THANKS
Niccy and I just got back from a transatlantic cruise so I've finally got some shots to post!
The SEA ROCK (IMO: 9863986) is a Fire Fighting Vessel and is sailing under the flag of Italy. Her length overall (LOA) is 30 meters and her width is 12.6 meters.
The R.RE LAZIALE (IMO: 9822786) is a Tug and is sailing under the flag of Italy. Her length overall (LOA) is 28.2 meters and her width is 13 meters.
These are the two tugs that were helping the Vastaso get the MSC Caterina turned around so that she could dock.
The nice thing about Holland America ships is that they have an outside Promenade on Deck 3. It gets you closer to the waterline and closer to the action!

I am a little busy today!
Will comment later!
Have a great day, dear friends!
Rio Grande SD40T-2s No. 5386, 5405, 5342, 5385, and 5400 are ready to cut into an inbound Savage coal train at Helper, Utah on Feb. 15, 1999.
The railway line built from Port Pirie to Broken Hill in 1887 was of immense economic significance to Port Pirie and South Australia. It did a great deal to underpin the development of Port Pirie and to help the colony emerge from depression in the late 1880s.

These fisherman are waiting to help you get a photograph - just an amazing site!
If you haven't visited Burma now called Myanmar get there quick!
Four years ago they had 3000 tourists and last year they had 3m tourists. The country is really well geared up for Tourism and wonderful to see. I thoroughly enjoyed my recent trip with All Points East.

This was the first wren to tumble out of the nest. It was very noisily calling for help, which it got. Although I saw 6 wrens fledge I only managed to photograph 3 of them, and only two successfully as the others disappeared into the undergrowth.
They look like Shovelers, but the beak colour is wrong and the female's dark chestnut head too............drawn a blank.
We like to layer our trips with things that are meaningful. When she heard we were heading to Thunder Bay, Larry’s sister recommended reading The Lightkeeper’s Daughters which was set in that area. I got two copies from our library system, and we both read the book at roughly the same time. It really helped us get a sense of place, and having read it enriched our actual experience. We didn’t get to the island where the lighthouse was located, but we caught a glimpse of it from the top of the Sleeping Giant. We did, however, get to visit the hamlet of Silver Islet, and enjoyed seeing a bit of the settlement. It has a fascinating history, with its raison d’être being a major silver mine that was bored underneath Lake Superior from an islet that measured only 80 x 80 feet, about 30 x 30 metres. Those Victorians were amazing engineers! Another interesting feature of this adventure was somebody I’ll call ‘the boy in blue.’ He’s a man, of course, an American, likely in his 20’s, and we encountered him first on the hike to the Sleeping Giant. He wizzed past us, but we met up again at the summit, where he took our photo with our camera and I took a photo of him with his. He bolted past us on our way down from the summit, but we bumped into him again in the Silver Islet hamlet. We weren’t actually stalking him, but he might have thought otherwise. I overheard him talking to the shop keeper about his little car, which was festooned with a both a kayak and a bicycle, and I took a picture of it.

Im aiming to have done 100 of these by the end of the year. If anyone would like to help me do this by sending brown paper bags of any size, please flickr mail me.Thanx
So far this Fall and Winter, the Red-winged Blackbirds have been showing up for a few days and then disappearing. Then they show up again, and then disappear again.
Well, as of yesterday afternoon, a handful of them showed up again. I can't help but wonder if this time they'll stick around for a few weeks, like they normally do?
I don't mind when they visit, but they typically bring the Starlings, Grackles and Cowbirds when they come. Luckily, those "others" have barely made an appearance. And while I love birds, the absence of those "others" has been a great relief.
This wonderful trail runs along the Bow river to the left, which helps create the fog now burning off with the rising sun.
That´s how we´ll be...With the help of OMG SO MANY friends!
THANK YOU all so much!
Overwhelmed by your support....
After all it seems that there´s an AWESOME community of doll people out here. So proud to be part of it! So proud of YOU!
