Out and about today in Northumberland - hello, Spring - and saw an early rhododendron flowering. And then had some fun playing around with it. Thought this processing gave it a 'ghostly hand appearance' which I rather liked. I am very easily pleased.

It's only been about a couple of days
You must have gone and put a spell on me
I can't get you out from under my veins
Singing oh my Lord
She'll be the death of me
I'm not the one to normally play the fool
So tell me brother what's a man to do
Half mad, half mad
Going crazy over you
Singing oh my God
If you're the fire I'm the fuel
Well my mama, yeah she'd always say
It's stupid to get in between
A woman who knows what she wants
Well I guess I made that mistake
I'm young and foolish or brave
And she's made her way into my heart
I gotta get out
This is what you get when you fall in love
No one ever said how good it hurts
I tried once, but it's once too much
You end up getting burned
I'm like the gasoline you light the match
Ain't no one else who can burn me like that
So I cross my heart, kill my desire
This is what you get when you play with fire
Ooooh oooh
This is what you get when you play with fire
Ooooh oooh
This is what you get when you play with fire
I'm a pyromaniac it ain't safe
'Cause you've got troubles written over your face
You say lover gotta have a little faith
Thinking that I'd have mercy
But I know you ain't a saint

The Chase Is On - An adult male Golden Eagle pursues a California Ground Squirrel after missing his initial strike.
I was fortunate to witness an amazing moment of natural history when a Golden Eagle dropped down on this squirrel and actually chased his prey down on foot in an attempt to catch it.
This is the first image of the sequence that I captured of the eagle generating momentum with his wings and lunging at the squirrel. Typically, I see Golden Eagles moving rather awkwardly on land but this individual moved with agility and purpose.
I have been photographing Golden Eagles since 2013 and spent countless hours watching them soar, hunt and rest. At last I managed to document a hunting sequence in the wild last Christmas Eve.
Species: Golden Eagle (Aquila chrysaetos) + California Ground Squirrel (Otospermophilus beecheyi)
Location: San Benito County, CA, USA
Equipment: Nikon D850 + 200-500mm f5.6 ED VR, Handheld
Settings: 1/1600s, ISO: 360, f/5.6, +0.3 EV

I have always loved this sculpture and the view through its tweezer-like "pincers". I hadn't previously looked up the artist's description and rationale for the sculpture, however. I finally did so the other day...
“Dialogue” is a public art installation created by multidisciplinary artist Florent Cousineau, located on the upper plaza near the Alexandria Bridge in Ottawa.
“The tall, slender silhouette of the work’s two-part structure contrasts with the strong horizontality of its setting. While the pure lines of these sculptural forms create space for multiple interpretations, their arrangement also evokes an exchange between two monumental figures. Their curves entwine in a movement recalling a pair of witnesses, dancers or sentinels leaning on each other for support. Light sources emanating from within the two figures create a fluid, rhythmic dialogue, inviting us to linger.
Dialogue can be seen on the upper plaza near the Alexandra Bridge in Ottawa until 2021.”

Come with me
and climb the trees
we'll sit amoung the branches
hoping Sping will stay much longer
while we dream
we sit and ponder
watching petals floating down
knowing Spring
she wont last much longer....
Words fail. Cannot begin to describe how much we all will miss this amazing dog. So grateful to have had Jax in our lives for the last nearly 12 years. Echo will so miss her partner in crime so very much.
