Thanks for visiting, stay safe. Ontario has put on an Emergency Brake and we are back on lockdown during this third wave!
Number three in my colorful bird series is this preening Roseate Spoonbill. The fluffed feathers maximize our view of its many shades of pink and the bit of amber at the base of its neck. No color enhancement in processing. Just cropping and light adjustments.
The supporting cast in the background are Redhead ducks...three males and a female.

As far as I can tell, sea otters have a well-refined process for eating crabs: (1) eat the legs first, so it can't run away (2) snap off and eat the claws second, so they won't pinch your face (3) pop off the carapace to eat all the insides and (4) rinse and repeat with new crabs until naptime.

This red-bellied woodpecker was looking for a snack in a dead tree.
From Cornell:
A Red-bellied Woodpecker can stick out its tongue nearly 2 inches past the end of its beak. The tip is barbed and the bird’s spit is sticky, making it easier to snatch prey from deep crevices. Males have longer, wider-tipped tongues than females, possibly allowing a breeding pair to forage in slightly different places on their territory and maximize their use of available food.
I photographed the thrasher, the scrub jay and the woodpecker within about 5 or so minutes of each other. Definitely a location to explore with a camera again.
A very unique design that I had never seen before, a dual face searchlight that has all of the heads at different levels, despite direction they face. Still displaying a clear indication for CSX Q328, the train hustles through Grand Ledge, MI. as they prepare to stop and work Ensel Yard in Lansing before continuing east.

Maximize The Trip. On January 20, 2022, Amtrak 100 (P42DC, 50th Anniversary, Midnight Blue) brought Amtrak Train 43 (Pennsylvanian)/Norfolk Southern Corp 07T across the Susquehanna River over the Rockville Bridge in Marysville, Pennsylvanian. Both AMTK 100 and 108 had been operating on this route that week, bringing a lot of photographers trackside. Amtrak has added its 50th Anniversary logo to 7 locomotives in its fleet. A visit to the Bridgeview Bed & Breakfast was a great venue to capture the scene.

After missing the first two days of Texans training camp before agreeing to a five-year, $14 million contract Saturday, outside linebacker Brian Cushing is eager to get on the practice field today with his new teammates.
Cushing, the first-round draft choice from Southern California, is getting $10.435 million in guaranteed money to become the starter on the strong side and help improve a defense that ranked 22nd last season, including 23rd against the run.
“I’m just relieved and excited to have this done,” Cushing said. “I’m ready to play football and help the team win.”
Cushing (6-3, 262) was in Los Angeles when agent Tom Condon reached the agreement with general manager Rick Smith and director of football administration Chris Olsen.
Cushing’s contract could be worth a maximum of $18 million over five years.
In the fifth year of his deal, there’s a clause that could earn him an additional $4 million in an escalator bonus.
Odds are that Cushing’s contract will be extended before he enters the fifth season in 2013.
Smith and Olsen will have all eight of their draft choices under contract when the Texans take the field for the third day of two-a-day drills at their Methodist Training Center.
“It’s very important to have him signed,” coach Gary Kubiak said. “Rick and Chris were up at 3 in the morning trying to get it done. They’ve done a good job.
“Brian’s two days behind now, but he didn’t miss anything we did in the offseason program, so that’s a good thing. He wanted to be here while we were working on the contract, but he couldn’t.”
Rookies who have signed with the Texans report a week early for conditioning and meetings before practicing for the first time with the veterans. Cushing wanted to report with the rookies.
He was working out at Reliant Stadium last week when the Texans had to explain league rules that forced him to leave.
Cushing took what turned out to be a quick trip back to Los Angeles. He returned to Houston on Saturday afternoon.
Texans coaches are excited to get him on the practice field.
“We’re going to put the pads on (Sunday morning), and I know he’s chomping at the bit to get out there,” Kubiak said.
After the Texans used the 15th pick in the first round on Cushing, they inserted him into the starting lineup. He impressed his coaches in the organized team activities and minicamp.
“We like his presence on the ball,” Kubiak said, meaning Cushing has a knack for finding the ball and making plays. “He’s playing over the tight end, and we’re going to ask him to do a great deal. We think he can handle it.
“Brian’s very athletic. He’s physical against the run. He can rush the passer. He can drop into coverage. We brought him here for a reason, and we’re going to put him to work real fast.”
Frank Bush, who is in his first season as defensive coordinator, has to make calls that maximize Cushing’s strengths. The faster Cushing learns, the quicker Bush plans to utilize all his talent.
“We’re going to try to take advantage of all his talent,” Bush said. “Because he’s such a talented kid, there are a lot of things we can do with him.”
The coaches say they think Cushing has everything it takes to become a star at his position.
“Brian can turn and run with the tight end,” Bush said. “He’s big and strong enough to strike them at the line of scrimmage and nullify some of their speed down the field, so we’re comfortable with him in coverage.
“His ability also gives us a chance to be aggressive toward the quarterback. He’s a big guy who’s shown he can get there.”
Another view of the Teton mountain range at sunrise. No color tweaking has been done to this in post-production - the extremely rich blue tones are the result of a circular polarizer on the lens. I realize it looks a bit fake, but I liked the effect so I rotated the polarizer until the effect waqs maximized.
I know I am going crazy for this minimalism when it comes to the maximum strength?
This stalk is less than 1 cm long and it has four drops on it i.e. two more than the last one. I was thinking it may not be as minimalistic as the last one? :o)
The meaning of minimalism is the meaninglessness and emptiness ….
Have a great Friday and great weekend! We will have rain through the days!

Thanks to plumnutz for the starter image which you can see in the first comment box below.
I do love a picnic! Best viewed in fullscreen on black.
Back to Portland, for a break from the treehouse. These are from Saint Cupcake, which was quite delicious, and just a couple of blocks from where we stayed. Yum! I love the notion of bite-size cupcakes. That way you can maximize the trying of all flavors!
Happy Halloween. Brush them teeths. Avoid root canals.

Since the birth of our daughter one year ago my time trackside has been limited to a a few short hours in the month. With sunny skies finally in the forecast, I stole a couple of hours after work to intercept westbound A411 near Lamont Alberta. With a short train behind the single SD75I, A 411's crew will make it into Edmonton in good time, while I head for home after making the most out of the short time I had on this fall evening.
1. FIAT 500ABARTH On display inside the Italian Orchard Restaurant Broughton Nr Preston
2 .The acronym F.I.A.T. stands for Fabbrica Italiana Automobili Torino, but the name FIAT means so much more. Founded in 1899, over the years the Turin-based company has become a symbol of Italy's technological and creative enterprise, which have changed the country and the history of global mobility forever.
3. Red brake calipers bolster the 500 Abarth's sportier appearance. Not only does the dual-outlet exhaust look powerful, but it also helps maximize the turbocharged engine's output. While the standard 500 will appeal to most people, the Abarth version is for the drivers who crave sportier styling and performance.
After not seeing the sun for at least a couple of weeks, I wasn't going to let frozen fingers keep me from capturing some nice sunrise images. I promise that this is the last sunrise photo for awhile :)
Mobile phone cameras go along way towards making photography simple and easy, but as with any camera, there are a number of ways you can improve the quality of your results. Here are some of the steps I take with my iPhone 5S:
1. Control the exposure. Touch the part of the screen where you want the camera to sample it.
2. Leave HDR mode turned on. The small sensors in cell phone cameras have small pixels, so they don't gather a lot of light and don't operate well in low light. That reduces the dynamic range, of mobile phone cameras, the range of light that they can resolve detail in. In a single exposure you'll often end up with blown out white highlights or blackened shadows, but HDR mode takes multiple exposures and tries to bring detail from the lighter and darker exposures into a single image. If the single exposure works, by all means use it, but it's great to have the additional HDR result as a backup in case it handles shadows and highlights better.
3. Just like with film and DSLR photography, post-processing is important. For quick field editing and online sharing, try Google's excellent and free Snapseed app., which enables you to make critical adjustments to brightness, shadows and contrast, and you can post the results to a number of social media sites or for sites not yet supported, save the adjusted images to your iPhone's Camera Roll. For even more control once you get back to your computer, bring your iPhone images into Adobe Photoshop Lightroom and adjust them on a high resolution PC monitor, using even more features such as noise reduction which can help bring your image up to a printable quality. If you don't already have Lightroom, version 5.3 is available as a free trial.
Those are just some basic tips on getting a decent image, but the most important thing in your photography is your subject, and the composition you capture it with. So for even more photographic freedom and more compelling results, exercise as much control as possible over composition, as described in the rest of this post on my blog:

Today I've seen a poster announcing a Michael Nyman's concert.
So, I've remembered a Nyman's work to title entitle this shot. And that was what the dolphin was doing.
Lisbon's Zoo, Portugal.
One of the first words to pop into my head when I saw the challenge for today was optics for some reason. This is a shot of s used roll of Kodak Max 400 color film behind the lens taken from a long broken slide projector. The lens acts nicely as a magnifying glass which is why I keep it around. Taken with a Canon 60mm USM Macro lens. Type L for a better view.
