Long pond is a favorite location of mine to photograph through the year.
Long exposure of the King's creek, leading to the King's fall, which unfortunately I was not able to see because the lookout got damaged in the fire last year and it has not been repaired yet. Got there a bit late, so the sun was not shining on the creek anymore.
Shot with the OM1 handheld, using the electronic ND filter. The image stabilization is amazing, the background is super crisp, the foreground is a bit fuzzy because it was too close to me. I am super happy not having to carry a tripod.

Another LTT image from the garden. It seemed to be using the stems from a couple of eaten berries on this Cotoneaster branch to prop up its tail.
Long-eared Owls are lanky owls that often seem to wear a surprised expression thanks to long ear tufts that typically point straight up like exclamation marks. These nocturnal hunters roost in dense foliage, where their camouflage makes them hard to find, and forage over grasslands for small mammals. Long-eared Owls are nimble flyers, with hearing so acute they can snatch prey in complete darkness. In spring and summer, listen for their low, breathy hoots and strange barking calls in the night.

long black train
josh turner
There's a long black train
Coming down the line
Feeding off the souls that are lost and crying
Rails of sin only evil remains
Watch out brother for that long black train
Look to the heavens
You can look to the skies
You can find redemption
Staring back into your eyes
There is protection and there's peace the same
Burnin' your ticket for that long black train
'Cause there's victory in the Lord I say
Victory in the Lord
Cling to the Father and his holy name
And don't go riding on that long black train
There's an engineer on that long black train
Making you wonder if your ride is worth the pain
He's just a waitin' on your heart to say
Let me ride on that long black train
But you know there's victory in the Lord I say
Victory in the Lord
Cling to the Father and his holy name
And don't go riding on that long black train
Well I can hear the whistle from a mile away
It sounds so good
But I must stay away
That train is a beauty making everybody stare
But its only destination is the middle of nowhere
But you know there's victory in the Lord I say
Victory in the Lord
Cling to the Father and his holy name
And don't go riding on that long black train
I said cling to the father and his holy name and don't go ridin' on that black train
Yes watch out brother for that long black train
That devil's a drivin' that long black train

This Long-billed Dowitcher was photographed near Utqiaġvik, Alaska, during breeding season, standing tall on a tundra perch like he was auditioning for a solo in the Arctic choir. And he was. Males take the high ground to deliver rapid, piping calls—keek-keek-keek-keek-keek!—part love song, part turf warning. Rivals are notified. Females, ideally, are swooning. If not, well—he still looks fabulous doing it.
Dowitchers are shorebirds engineered for mud. Their bills don’t just stab and slurp—they pinch. The flexible tip works like forceps, able to grasp prey deep in the muck without opening the beak and filling it with sludge. It’s like using chopsticks with built-in fingers.
Inside those bill tips are Herbst corpuscles—pressure-sensitive nerves that detect the faintest wiggle from prey hiding below the surface. Even when they can’t see the food, they can feel it moving.
He’s a performer, a mud-prober, and a living multitool—proving once again that Arctic love songs are better with tweezers.
