A short moment after I clicked this Aphid was gone.

 

Happy Wing Wednesday!

Kite-boarder launching off a wave at Waddell Beach, just north of Santa Cruz, California.

This Snowy Egret caught sight of a small fish across the pond and started a vigorous chase.

My Hooded Merganser "season" wasn't as lively this last Winter as they have been in the past, but there WERE some moments. You probably know by now if they have the time (not being chased by another hoodie thief) and inclination, they give those crayfish some good shakes to snap off the legs. This shake evidently backfired and launched the crusty meal, right outathe focus plane. Of course the Hoodie made quick on the retrieve.

CAPTAINS LAUNCH

Texture made with care and revised in every detail.

This creation is complete with normal map to give the boat details a 3d effect.

Just a simple mouse movement and your new boat will be ready to sail in the Linden seas. ⛵⛵⛵

I would have liked this a bit sharper

This board rider looked as though he was launching on to rocks but he had seen a wave coming that I couldn't see.

With the FFF+ at Torquay Surf Beach.

I usually try to avoid centering the subject of a photo, but I think it works on this one of Ripley taken at lunch today. : ) No way to avoid her at this speed, but I got lots of snowy, happy kisses once I was lying in the snow.

One of the great egrets at Audubon Park taking flight to find another stick for the nest! Ardea alba.

A Gray Kingbird launches from a perch after a dragonfly.

Captured in: Callicoon, NY.

 

Pictured here is the launch and subsequent explosion of a fireworks rocket & shell during a fireworks show. The image was captured during an annual July 4th event held in upstate NY.

 

My brother-in-law was part of the pyrotechnics team that was running the show, so we were fortunate to get an up-close and personal view of the launch area.

 

I found this one while recently looking back through the archives. ;) Not sure why I never got around to posting it, especially as I happened to really like the shot.

Any springtime visit to Grasslands National Park is almost certain to be a lark. Oops, I mean any visitor. Well, any little brown and yellow, winged visitor. I've never seen more Meadowlarks in one place and certainly never more of these constantly moving, fast flying Horned Larks.

An Atlantic puffin stands on the edge of a rocky cliff at Sumburgh Head with its wings partially raised, preparing to launch off the cliff down to the water. The bird stands with its orange feet on a small grass tuft and is surrounded by blooming sea pinks. Shetland, Scotland.

This church (on the fortress island of Suomenlinna, near Helsinki) was originally Russian Orthodox, but at a later point it was converted to Lutherian and its onion domes were knocked down, leaving it looking a little bit odd. It reminded me of a rocket on a launch pad.

The modern elevator in the Old Town Hall with Astronomical Clock in Prague. With it's modern architecture it is a strong contrast to the building. In the picture the elevator is moving.

 

This picture was shot without a tripod, just with the IBIS of my Canon R6, I was impressed.
