this building is silver grey, as you can see in the top part. Because of the shadow, it gets a blue hue that I have not corrected. However, I have corrected the verticals.
Balance and precision - Stonechat - female, Hampshire.
HFF everyone :)
Info from the RSPB
Conservation status: Green
Stonechats are robin sized birds. Males have striking black heads with white around the side of their neck, orange-red breasts and a mottled brown back. Females lack the male's black head, but have brown backs and an orange tinge to their chests. Birds are frequently seen flicking their wings while perched, often doing so on the tops of low bushes. As its name suggests, birds utter a sharp loud call that sound like two stones being tapped together. They breed in western and southern parts of the UK, but disperse more widely in winter.

One of my tries for MM 'intended contact' theme, which I realised would be good for 118 pictures 'precision' category.

I was impressed by my friend's software which predicted the moon would show up at the tip of the triangle building.

. . . For my first "photo walk"after having ankle replacement surgery 5 weeks ago, I choose to walk a whole 30 feet into the shade of the Holiday Inn in Traverse City, and watch the incredible Blue Angels do their stuff! Wow!
My kind of photo walk for now, hopefully off crutches in a few weeks! Not sure how I got burnt to a crisp sitting in the 96 degree shade, I blame the water reflection!
Have a great weekend and stay cool if you are at this show!

Heard about this 280 going through Hastings just as I was hitting the interstate from Madison to Wausau. After I got the gears turning and remembered that I haven't seen a CP 60M leading a road train for a long time, I decided to take the left turn at Portage and try my luck for this guy on the south end of the River Sub. Made it to Dakota with about 20 min to spare. One and done for me, but this is my first good wedge of a CP 60M since they came out.

A Brown-hooded Kingfisher (Halcyon albiventris) grips a freshly caught Striped Skink—a moment of instinct, agility, and survival. These kingfishers aren’t just about water; they’re woodland hunters, often found far from rivers, ambushing insects, small reptiles, and even amphibians.
I saw him working through the open door of his tiny space.
"May I make some photos?", I asked politely.
"Go ahead," he answered and went straight on back to his work. He didn't lift his head, not even when I walked out and thanked him kindly.

The U.S. Navy Flight Demonstration, the Blue Angels performed at the Defenders of Freedom Offutt Air Show this past weekend. The Blue Angels are scheduled to perform 68 demonstrations at 34 locations across the U.S. in 2014.
This was a backyard photo. What a thrill to see them right over your house. This was taken at 110mm which gives you an idea of just how close they were. The noise was unbelievable.

In architecture, the term precision, in the sense of “respect for order and exactness”, explains everything. No error is allowed!

Quonset State Airport Airshow and Open House 2015
The Blue Angles at the Rhode Island Airshow 2015. Traffic was horrendous getting to the show. Especially on Route 403. It took one hour to drive the last six miles to the airport. Even watched the Canadian Snowbirds performing while on the highway. Trekked a two mile round trip on foot with camera equipment and tripod, I didn't use due to the crowds. The icing on the cake was seeing this spectacular team perform at day's end. Beautiful weather and lots of great performers.
My appreciation and thanks to all of you that have commented awarded, and faved.
For all of you who have expressed their concern for our safety following Hurricane Sandy, I thank you all for your kindness and support. Our region has been knocked down but we will get back up and put things back together. We will RESTORE THE SHORE because we are JERSEY STRONG!
As some of you are aware many of my images have been taken at Cattus Island They are in dire need of some assistance due to the impact of Sandy. They have lost an incredible amount of equipment. For those who might like to help them out they have started a fund at Go Fund Me to offset some of the damage.
Thank you again to all of you for your support!
