Second-largest of the egrets, working the edge of a lagoon in the Minnippi Wetland. I had originally ID'd as Great, but I think I can see breast plumes as well as those on the back.

Our Daily Challenge ... hobbies.

 

Bird watching is one component of my photography obsession. During the heat of summer most of the water birds I can see from my backyard disappeared ... presumably to cooler climes. However, they are starting to return and have discovered the conveniently located log on the edge of the lake.

Our final project in Intermediate Photography was to alter the print. The idea behind this is that images can just be shared online, but an altered print really has to be experienced in person. Naturally, I chose to go nuts with the LEGO stuff again. My idea was to go for some illusions after the print had been altered.

The IXV Intermediate eXperimental Vehicle is being prepared for launch at Europe's Spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana.

 

IXV will be launched 320 km into space on top of a Vega rocket, climbing up to 420 km before beginning a long glide back through the atmosphere. In the process, IXV will gather data on reentry conditions to help guide the design of future spaceplanes.

I didn’t set out to make this particular image: the original composition was a shot of the Milky Way. This image was an unintentional result of an intermediate step in the process of compositing several exposures to capture the fireflies!

This bird has made an intermediate rest stop in one of the rocks surrounding our fountain/pond. Water is a better "bird magnet " up here than food... it's much more scarce in this semi-arid mountain region. The bird is checking out the activity below before dropping down to drink or bathe. This adult male is our most colorful western songbird.

Okay, so I went a little crazy!

An Intermediate Egret in its breeding plumage. Looks quite beautiful - perfect white plumage, with a tinge of yellow near a black beak, and red eyes.
