These shots were difficult to get. Obviously the cheetah is running at a high rate of speed so that was one obstacle but the other big one is shooting this through a fence. Lucky I got these two. Seems like this run took about 2 seconds.
I don't know how much I'll be on Flickr today because my grandson is suppose to visit. He's leaving for Colorado on Sunday for an internship job. Exciting for him but I'll miss him terribly. Hope you all enjoy your day with the fact that Friday is right around the bend.
An owl can turn its head 270 degrees from the straight forward position allowing it to keep its eyes on its prey without having to turn its body.
me: walks into empty sushi restaurant
hostess: "you would like to sit down?"
me: "no, um...would it be ok if I took a picture of the cat?"
hostess: "pardon?"
me: (miming taking a picture) "can I take a picture of your cat?"
hostess: "..." (looking at me like she's wondering if she needs to call the cops to take away the crazy lady)..."o-keeeey?"
me: (turning bright red) "thank you!"
...but it it was worth it, yes? :-)
Star trails over some old ruins.
A single exposure of about 19 minutes.
I had this 20mm lens tilted up high to get more sky in.
This resulted in too much wasted sky when the perspective distortion, of the building, was corrected in post.
If I had used perspective control lens, just shifted the lens up , there would have been no distortion.

The Northern Harrier was active this morning hunting the wetlands in search of the next meal. Unfortunately while I was there she did not seem to have success but I am sure she will as the day goes on. Such a beautiful species and a thrill to watch.
Wishing you a beautiful day !!!
This was the spot at the Narrows that we had decided to turn around as our relatives were waiting for us at the visitor center. It was only about a little over a mile upstream in the Virgin River from Temple of Sinawava . We couldn't reach the Wall Street this time. Still it was fun hiking the Narrows. I think we have to start early in the morning next time without any non-hiker companion in order to go deeper.
I'm finally back from my exam journey through knowledge, sweat and excessive headache. I hope my uni plans will be fulfilled. Can't wait to unpack some LEGO gifts today and share more amazing creations very soon with you guys! :D
