Patrouille Suisse flying their routine at the RAF Cosford Airshow,to perfection, lucky to catch a good passing / crossover shot .. Great to see these Northrop F-5E Tiger II still flying. I believe they are in their last year 2023.
This young male juvenile had been actively flying around lakes but appeared unable or willing to fish but came across a Dragonfly nymph for split minute before flying off again.
A shot of a Great Blue Heron pulling a fish from the water at the fork of the Thames river here in London Ontario. I was surprised to see this fellow in such a busy place but he was intent on filling his stomach with fish and paid little attention to me or anyone else enjoying the park that day.
The unsung hero of the January 2026 Lerro charter of the PM #1225 was the PNLX #57. The unique GP40WH-2 features the cab from a Burlington Northern F45, radiators from an SD45, and a highly modified GP40 body. During both days, the #57 was on the opposite end of the train from the #1225/#2699, leading us north or south so that the train crew did not have to shove over long distances. Once we reached a run by location, #57 was uncoupled and moved farther down the line, so that the steam locomotive could perform with the train solo. During one of the final runbys of the weekend, the #57 was left on the train due to time constraints, and the big Berkshire did a couple of runbys pulling hard against the diesel's dynamics. One of these is seen here heading north for another pass, #57's gyralight swinging as its K5LA blares for the crossing.
It took the working team less than the one hour which I needed to take the sunset photo, to get the wings off the ground to fix it at the top.
That's precision!
It was very interesting to watch.
wild precision
I am a lot of both. I am easily distracted and I am mindful, I am spontaneous and I am careful, I am quick and I am measured.
Having some issues with the house style stuff, so I'm back to windows.
I treated this photo with these issues in mind...heavy contrast on the nasty asbestos siding but keeping the curtain pretty.
Things must stay pretty, you know.

I’m not sure what this lady was doing, but she was doing it very slowly and very precisely (at first I thought she was on her phone but when I zoomed in it appeared not).
Precision & Planning - A couple good friends and myself spotted this female Peregrine Falcon of a pair while hiking the Northern California Coast. Compared to the male, she has more distinctive rufous coloration and is significantly larger (as is this case in this species and many other falcons/raptors). After we determined that we weren't able to get portraits where she was sitting, we carefully curved around and waited at her predicted flight path - with the goal of capturing her flying towards us. She took off like a rocket towards us through the dunes and I was very happy to capture this shot which conveys a sense of habitat as well as speed. It certainly takes a lot of precision and planning to photograph such a precise and speedy bird in flight!

An Anna's Hummingbird feeding on a wild radish flower. If you look closely, you can see the pollen on the tip of its beak. It's easy to see how these little birds help pollinate plants. Check out its tiny little talons tucked away underneath too.
At some point probably in the 80s or 90s someone in Cheyenne County, Kansas put up maybe 100 or so signs of various landmarks, historical sites, and various other signs marking points of interest. They also created a driving tour route that takes you all over the county.
I did the tour a few years ago and have visited a number of times since. Each time I drop by a few sites, but this time I wanted to find not just the three-state markers (there's two - it's a long story, I guess) - I've been to that a couple times before.
But I always remember coming across a sign in Kansas that directs you to the "3 state marker". My memory of it was foggy, but I eventually found it.
I have a thing for hand-painted signs. All of these signs in Cheyenne County are hand-painted typically with just words. I'm glad I found it and glad I shot this one single photo of it. Not sure why I didn't take more, but that was apparently a thing I was doing this past summer.
