In late Spring 2012, I was walking on a section of town greenway I'd not previously explored. I walked through the woods and discovered a patch of wetland, full of life, right in the middle of upper-class suburbia. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. This acre-or-so of land held several red-headed woodpeckers, other woodpeckers and songbirds, as well as the occasional green or great blue heron. On a subsequent visit, I even saw a juvenile little blue heron. I was making mental plans to rent a 500mm lens to try to get some decent photos of the red-headed woodpeckers. I thought I might even just bring a chair some mornings and sit and watch the woodpeckers do what they do.
Then, only a couple of weeks after discovering it, I took a walk to this new favorite place of mine and found all of the old trees--the red-headed woodpeckers' homes, that is--to have been felled by some human land-developer juggernaut, complete with stakes with pink tape and tracks made by heavy equipment. I was heartbroken. I'm sure the woodpeckers weren't too happy about it either. I still walk by the spot occasionally; I've yet to see anything more than a passing titmouse, nuthatch, or kinglet since my fellow humans came and destroyed the land's soul.

Cannon angled at about 50 degrees And he travels about 150 ft in about 1 second to a safety net further away. The whole thing occurs very fast. I snapped the photo when the count down was 1, and managed to time it to get him shooting out of the cannon. I didn't have time to fire a second shot, that's how fast it is over . I took the photo a little bit wide, because I wanted to show the Cannon, and I also didn' t know how fast or high he would fly.
“What do you plan to do after Uni?”
“I don’t know”
“Oh no. Don’t say that!”
“But it’s the truth!”
If it looks like Millie is slightly inebriated then that’s because she was, poor girl. I actually went over to ask if she was OK, as she was sat in the doorway in such a way that made me notice her. She claimed she was OK, just a little hungover, from what sounded like a heavy night.
After talking for a bit, I decided not to take her picture but then her cousin came along and Millie announced happily that she was having her photo taken so I couldn’t back out.
By the way, the reason I replied as I did was because I think that given the cost of University these days, it seems somewhat frivolous not to have a career path in mind - anything better than nothing. That’s my way of looking at it anyway.
No messing with the eyes here, they were that blue!
