Because birds fly seemingly effortlessly, something that we cannot do at all, we tend to think of them as nimble and flawless. Yet, just like us, they can fail and make mistakes, sometimes quite painful.

 

Here is a failed landing of a tree swallow, observed at the Heinz NWR.

I followed a Julieanne Kost tutorial the other day and somehow I must have missed a step because it wasn't supposed to be quite like this. One day I will start again but in the meantime I thought I'd keep this anyway, I quite liked it.

These are 10 images of mine, severely cropped after applying 2 blur filters.

Around this time of year the sun will rise between the bridge arches. However, despite trying for many years I have yet to get the shot I really want, with the sun just cresting the hill behind in the centre of the arch. I thought I’d cracked it this time, the conditions looked ideal prior to sunrise and then right at the critical moment a blob of cloud settled on the horizon 😖. Still there’s always next year and I still managed to get some reasonable shots😎.

 

I’d been using my EOS R plus Tilt Shift lens for most of the shoot and at the last minute I grabbed this shot by just resting my Olympus camera on the bridge decking in order to get the very low angle.

Just few dried leaves, seeds an a feather can't hide this painted turtle.

After having our first warm day of this spring, which short lived, a cold front came in with rain and freezing rain. I hope this yellow daffodils will survive.

You literally cannot fail to take a decent image here!

The other day I was intending to shoot some forest on one side of the road and it turned out the opposite side was was much better. I guess the moral to this story is ..... turn around and see what is behind you.

I usually setup 2 lights with shoot through umbrellas for our tight little interior shooting area. The lights are triggered with radios, specifically Pocket Wizards. But, let's say you occasionally run into a problem with one, or more, and they don't work, usually a fluke though. Pocket Wizard's are top of the line radio triggers, but even they can fail from time to time. In the above photo the main light on the left didn't fire. Usually, the image would be a "throw away." But, in this case, I kinda' liked the the result and decided to do the edit. It is proof that even one off camera light could yield some interesting results.

After flapping and running along the water for a bit and not getting airborne it gave up and dove under the surface. Must have been embarrassed with a boat load of people watching.

I had high hopes for this Monarch larva to make it to the next stage of metamorphosis, but alas, it ran out of gas I guess and failed to complete the pupa construction. It's a very sad image and I thought hard about posting it, but in the end I guess I wanted to show exactly how challenging, fragile and dear the full life cycle from egg to caterpillar to pupa to butterfly really is. If you need orientation, it's hanging by the butt end. There are still a number of larvae chomping away, and a few have headed up the garage wall to hang in the eves. Honestly, I'll be thrilled if my perfect pupa I posted yesterday makes it.

One wheel of the one lift that gives access to Grands Montets ski resort broke down yesterday.. A bunch of ski tourers (incl. me…) took advantage…
