I always try to track the birds with my lens and save a few images for the buffer even after they make their catch. They typically do something really cool, like look at their fish, eat it mid-air, or even drop it. It is very entertaining. www.troymarcyphotography.com
The goslings are really growing and every day they are loosing their cute fuzz and the tale tell signs of becoming an adult are becoming more apparent.

I want to thank you for taking the time to visit my little space here on Flickr.
One of my favourite things in life - Charity Shop and Boot Sale hunting. Thought I would show you some of my recent finds - hope you like!

The Pratt & Whitney J58 (company designation JT11D-20) was a jet engine that powered the Lockheed A-12, and subsequently the YF-12 and the SR-71 aircraft. Twin J58s pushed the SR-71 to a cruising speed of 2,211 MPH.
The J58 was a single-spool turbojet with an afterburner. It had a unique bleed from the compressor to the afterburner which gave increased thrust at high speeds.
This feature caused it to be referred to as a turboramjet in some writings.
It delivered 25,000 pound-force (110 kN) of thrust without afterburner (dry) and 34,000 (150 kN) with afterburner (wet).
General characteristics
Type: afterburning turbojet with compressor bleed bypass
Length: 180 in (4,600 mm) (an additional 6 in (150 mm) at max. temp.)
Diameter: 50 in (1,300 mm)
Dry weight: approx. 6,000 lb (2,700 kg)
Components
Compressor: 9-stage, axial flow
Combustors: Cannular 8 burner cans in an annular combustion casing
Turbine: two-stage axial flow
Fuel type: JP-7, JP-4 or JP-5 for emergency refuelling from any tanker (Mach 1.5 limit)
Oil system: Pressure spray return system with Fuel-cooled oil cooler
Performance
Maximum thrust: 34,000 pounds-force (151.24 kN)
wet, 25,000 pounds-force (111.21 kN) dry
Overall pressure ratio: 7.5 at take off
Bypass ratio: low bypass ratio to afterburner
Air mass flow: 300 lb/s (8,200 kg/min) at take-off power
Specific fuel consumption: 1.9 lb/lbf (190 kg/kN) per hour
Thrust-to-weight ratio: 5.23 lbf/lb (0.0513 kN/kg)
After arriving into Adelaide as NR53, NR84 & 8220, NR53 was turned and placed as second unit and 8220 was taken off.

He had a wander around in the garden for a while and then decided to take a closer look at me. He jumped up onto this little pine border edging and gazed at me fluttering his little wings expectantly, but to no avail as I had nothing on me to give him. He was about 4ft away from me at this point :)

Audrey is rising up--straight to the top: and it took her a while to get to the top of all those 12-inch stairs! Scrawny to Brawny all the way.
Real serious.
My first white lens. My first Minolta G lens. My first seriously $*@(*'ing awesome lens. Ever.

Ladies and gentlemen, say hi to my Minolta 80-200 f.28 HS APO! Woohoo!

...and this also brings f2.8 across my entire range from 17mm to 200mm. :D
For the big benefit we're having for moms cancer fundraiser tomorrow (Sunday). Mom says I gotta look my best and be a good boy. Of course I'm a good boy mom! We're so excited, this going to be a fun day.
After seeing a mention by Stephen Downes of a presentation he did for the 2023 Open Education Conference called Open Learning in the Fediverse which is now, thanks to Dr Tesla, the hot topic.
For some reason I felt an urge to remix the opening credits to a favorite show when I was a kid, Get Smart.
Okay, there is a low resolution image in Wikimedia Commons declared as fair use, for which my use here is likely not a qualifier. Hmmm, How about a case of parody? To the copyright holders, if anything, my use might offer more people to look up this classic show, watch, and appreciate what a treasure it was. My use is not o steal or take away from Get Smart but to honor it.
Who owns popular culture? The rules are not written into law, so my remix is likely the most legal. But I will roll the dice.
My source was a screen grab from the YouTube video www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJ6gdRfBW6c where I used Photoshop to copy brush out the SMART letters, and replicate with a font guess (Georgia) for the words "Federated".
Is this changed enough from the original? Leave it to the lawyers.

Today i'm feeling like a rolling stone!!!! LOL
Today I meet up with a person from Flickr who lives in New Zealand and we just happened to be at Surfers that same time. We have just had some lunch and now we are wanting to watch the feeding of the Pelicans here at back doors of the Charis Seafood shop. this all happen around 1.30pm except for Mondays.
The Pelicans start arriving hour or so before and wait around for their fed of fish. The fish carcass are tossed into the air, most get one fish and move off but some wait around for some more!.
Getting into it: time for the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Three packs of stinky, gooey concoctions of herbs and whatnot are applied to different areas of my two legs. They are left on for four hours. After they have been taken off, the pain in each area has increased dramatically. Understandably, I asked them not to do that again.

as i went further up, i met two other climbers who were coming down from the summit. by then the clouds were all around us and they told me "it's horrible up there!" and were worried that i attempted to go up alone. i knew they were right, because you need crampons and maybe ice axes for the last part (i didn't have those with me) and also the wind became really really strong and sight was getting worse. i told them i would only go as far as there is solid rock for me to stand on and that's what i did. everything further would have been stupid.
so that was it, my ~85% climb of mt. taranaki. it definitely was fun, although i never had areal chance to make it to the top. if i ever come back to new zealand, i will do the whole thing! :]
the moment i was back at north egmont, i decided to do one of the tramps around the mountain. i went for the three day pouakai circuit. there will be some more pictures from this trip which will be the absolutely last of my new zealand pictures.. D':
The Marg boys do a crafty sashay to get their work done quick in Camphora so they can get on home on this short turning day.

There is a quote which says: "You're born, you die, and in between you make a lot of mistakes".. This fish made a BIG mistake by swimming in front of a Heron!
