When the Sun starts to go down, there is one thing in life that you can never lose beside yourself? - That the Sun will go down, and will always come back up again, for you to see on the other side again!
I took this cool capture of the Sun, starting going down behind the clouds, was over the Washlands of the River Trent, in Burton.

I did not take this capture of me, I gave my camera to my daughter Katy, and showed her what to do, and this is the result. Which I am very pleased to be holding my Grandson Alfie, and thanking my dear daughter, for not dropping my camera!
Now you can see me, in full-frame of what this Freaked Out photographer, looks like here, thanks to my daughter. I am now nearly 68 years old and well pleased for my daughter Katy and Michael (Son-in-Law soon to be) of their firstborn child, that weighed in at 8 lb 2 ozs at birth.
I did wear a face mask, when holding my Grandson. But my daughter, for this capture, told me, to take it off!
Now be looking forward in the next few months to come, of taking cool captures of Alfie, when he, his more active and moving about for them!
A baby is born with a need to be loved, and never, never outgrows it.

When I took this capture at an overlook that showed the Icefields Parkway there in Banff / Jasper ... I thought this would be a cool capture to apply a bit of tilt-shift effect to.
An amazing highway and drive, and one that I highly recommend if you have not done it.
Amazing statistic of the New York City is that in Manhattan alone there are an estimated 280,000 dogs residing on the island and double that quantity in the outer boros of Queens and Brooklyn. Being smitten by dog love myself the proud owner of the two sweet mixed breed pooches, I often find my ‘street’ photography is of lovable canines. In the largely concrete jungle that is Manhattan, it’s amazing to see dogs of all shapes, sizes and breeds being walked. In the few green spaces on the island, many include dog parks within their confines. I seen dogs in the dogs as early as 5 AM (I walk my guys that early if I have to go into the office early or drive my youngest daughter to the train station) and in Washington Square Park after mid-night. Manhattan in particular poses challenges because a larger portion of the population relies primarily on public transportation, unlike us NY suburbanites in northern Jersey, north New York counties (Rockland and Orange) and Long Island, many don’t own motor vehicles. Owning a canine is a wonderful rewarding experience, but also is a large responsibility that requires forethought . My kids and I having moved in the last year, number 1 on the list is, places that will accept pets, then the question is how big. Well Manhattan those queries resonate even more, even if you find a dog friendly building, the bathroom situation, how do you walk the dog? Full time job? Going to be difficult. That’s why budgeted into the care and upkeep of a pooch dog walkers are a must. Added cost is also a factor, the vets, the groomers, tend to charge a bit more. That why it’s important when considering a dog, that a lot of consideration is taken with all the factors that play into having a loyal four legged companion. This consideration and calculation does not happen some times and the city sponsored and private animal shelters in New York City are full of dogs who at first seemed like a good idea, but then reality set in and became sadly expendable. Dogs are loyal, full of love and always happy to see you, I’ve had my two for 8 and 7 years and adore them. They require attention and time, they are living creatures and if they don’t get a decent amount of attention, they will act up.
I love capturing dogs living and interacting in the city. This dog was a bit tired and was on the lap of his female caretaker happy as could be in Washington Square Park people watching; totally cool.
Captured on an Olympus E-5 with an Olympus Zuiko 70-300mm F4.0-5.6 zoom lens processed in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom.
The low fog is picking up light from the not too distant interstate 80 freeway here. Very cool capture.

Photographers are often asked if we have any good pictures from a day of shooting...and the response is usually...I will wait til I see what turns up on the computer! Kind of a cool capture of this heron's shadow on its wing...
While I'm waiting out this cold for enough energy to go out I decided to share this fun image. This was taken while looking for the Lapland Longspur at Hayward Shoreline Park last year...I looked up and spotted this Osprey carrying a fish when I snapped it a plane was flying by. Heavily cropped, but I thought this was a pretty 'cool capture'.

I'm talking about the one in the middle above the dock. Does it look like a giant white worm with a big brown head and a headlamp on it? Never mind...
The beautiful dock at Storm King Ranger Station, Lake Crescent. A bit of aurora glow from Vancouver Island direction with the north ends of the milky way. THAT white worm is some low clouds/fog with a big trailer as it's head. Pretty cool captured those light rays from the head lights! I was parked right beside the dock shooting time lapse til' next morning and fell asleep before sunrise... Lucky the people who unload their boat into the water was trying to be careful as my camera was right beside the car when they unloading it. Or didn't just took my camera...
Thank you for viewing! Any comments or sharing are greatly appreciated!!
Have a great day/night!!
Not 100% sure, but I think this cool capture is from a 1937 Chrysler Airflow. I love the patina effect with age it presents.
Sticking around for several hours and watching a lot of fishing and interaction all along the river ... when you get a situation where the action comes in close, the lighting is perfect ... and you can track and not lose focus ... all I can say is WOW ... what an experience. Making it all worth standing out in the cold down along the river on the rocks.
With the camera snapping away at 10 frames per second, I came away with a lot of cool captures of this close in action.
This is cropped only just by 5% to tighten the composition just a bit.

I spent some time below Kentucky Dam watching anywhere between 15 and 20 osprey catching a variety of live and dead fish. I'm pretty sure this one was a floater, but it's still a pretty cool capture. Both for me and for the fish.
My brother took me to this area which I had never been to before. Kittatinny Valley State Park is in Andover, NJ. I thought this was a cool capture with all the cattails.

This is an older photo from many years ago. My children, my father and I were spending a day at Indian Branch Park-Campground. This child was playing on the playground with my children. I took a picture of him coming down the slide, I thought it looked cool (captured his silhouette). I've always liked this photo!

I originally found this for the Snap Game, but oftentimes, by the time I search for the picture and get it posted, someone has already made a "snap". Oh well. Sooner or later this will be an appropriate snap. Meanwhile, not a bad sky through a window at a construction site. (066rot8cloudsthruwindowofconstructionadjcrp-CD8aprilfoolsday2004))
