Happy Wing Wednesday!

Been a while,

Getting a little practice in for fall dogtography action...I hope...

It was great to have his big brother home to help.

As soon as I got the trip photos on the computer, I knew I had to paiant one of these right away. This is a practice painting; hopefully I will do some more.

I'm caught up and occupied with planning my summer trip (as always, should it happen). It will be my 9th year in a row where I have organized my life in such a way that allows me to get away for most of the month of July.

 

By this point in my planning, I have most of the roads and cemeteries plotted out. Like 7 out of the past 8 years, I'm hitting Oglala National Grassland in Nebraska. Each time I explore it, I find something new and something different.

 

But my time is limited and I don't want to be rushed. I have more (and more) new places to find and roads to travel. Nothing is set in stone until it actually happens, but I want to explore a bit of Michigan and Wisconsin, Ohio and Indiana. But we'll see.

 

This is a photo I took in July of 2023 in Oglala National Grassland. I don't remember the exact location, but that's okay.

two juvenile hippos displaying practice fight in ISimangaliso UNESCO Wetland park, KZN, South Africa

The Blue Angles are stationed in Pensacola, Florida where i live. And the Navy Base is about 2 miles from my house. This morning I walked out into the yard and they were practicing for the 2009 season. This one flew right over the house... They are practicing again tomorrow so hopefully i can get some better details. It's really hard to get a good pic of a jet... but i could watch them all day! They are definitely a piece of my childhood :)

After finally finishing unpacking the obvious next step was to start practicing. Alison pulled her wand from her holster and took a step toward the trunk. Keeping her distance she pushed the trunk's lid open with the tip of her sneakers and quickly jumped back. A grin struck her face and she was ready!

Coast Guard personnel practice rope egress and entree from a hovering helicopter at the US Coast Guard facility on San Diego bay.

Just after cheer practice back in highschool.

What looks like the top of a sports practice cage as seen over the top of a backfence. Would it be for golf or cricket? Anyone?

Beryl is trying to recreate the portal she used to go back in the past.

 

She's a bit rusty but it looks like it's going well...

 

This picture is an introduction picture to my next BJD wich I will get from my boyfriend for Christmass... a new entity will enter the world through this portal... evil or good, we shall know soon

  

>.< I spent 2 hours to make this and it still doesn't look like I wanted it to look.. but at least it looks better then my previous 5 attempts xD

The real gales of November pack a larger punch than this, but the waves made for some nice shots today.

Because of their weight and size, most large waterfowl, such as geese and swans, need a long running start to get airborne.

This young Trumpeter Swan, along with its two siblings take practice runs to build up strength and speed in anticipation of their first flight which should be happening soon.

Have a great weekend!

 

Central Valley, CA

First time shooting studio shots of my Chico. As you can see, he's pretty relaxed.

Two weeks before they leave the nest, young ospreys start flapping their wings and trying to get airborne.

 

Müritz National Park, northern Germany.

 

Wenn die jungen Fischadler beginnen, mit den Flügeln zu schlagen,macht sich die Mutter langsam auf den Weg nach Afrika. Der Vater füttert noch zwei Wochen weiter, dann fliegt auch er los. Nun müssen die Jungen allein klarkommen, und die lange Reise ins Winterquartier überstehen. Faszinierend, dass alle getrennt fliegen. Das Elternpaar sieht sich auch in Afrika nicht, aber kehrt im Folgejahr im Abstand von nur 1-2 Tagen zum Mecklenburger Nest zurück.

Practicing with lights and depth of field. This is a lot to remember all at once. Also bought my first poses!

More portrait practice in pencil :) I drew it on A3 paper and used 2B pencil only.

Doing a few practice poses (more for my benefit than hers) after her class let out.
