669/600SE
happy roid week ya'll!!!
rainer has been playing trumpet since september
he was inspired to do so
by listening to our
old jazz records
and by having the chance
to try it out in
beginning band
as a now 6th grader
his first few months
showed so much improvement
and love for the trumpet
that his grandma begged
to buy him his very own
lucky boy
lucky boy indeed!
we have been going to the library to borrow music
that features the trumpet
finding some amazing things
like the chet baker docu
LETS GET LOST

The new Get Smart movie is now being shown in theaters. This, of course, was based on the original TV series, Get Smart which aired from 1965 to 1970. One of my favorite all time sitcoms, it starred Don Adams as Maxwell Smart. Long before the modern day cell phone was invented, Smart used an analog rotary dial wireless telephone which he had neatly hidden in the soul of his shoe. I like to think of Maxwell Smart as the world's first person to use a cell phone, some 30 years before anyone else.
Don Adams (1923-2005) was an actor and stand-up comedian. His album, Don Adams, Live? was recorded live at the Sands in Las Vegas in 1967.

"For me writing has become prayers that say, `Great Spirit, return to us our freedom, our land, and our lives. We are thankful for the present from which to learn how to be Thankful for the past, and how to be hopeful for the future."--Barney Bush, SHAWNEE
We Native people have really been tested. This testing is having our land taken from us, our culture challenged, and our way of living altered. Gratefully, we have not lost our spirituality. our spirituality has been the key for our people making it through all of these tests. Our prayers are strong. Indian people have also been able to adjust to change and still keep their culture and spirituality. Today, we should be grateful to the Creator for the present, and for the lessons of the past. May our future be guided by the Great Spirit. Great Spirit, thank You for Mother Earth and Father Sky. Thank You for my life.
With Joshua still with us today there was plenty of opportunity to get a shot of one of his friends .... some of them just wouldn't sit still!

We stoppped by Tunkwa Lake today for a few minutes, hoping to see a few birds. And did! I noticed the loons hanging out at the south end (day-use area) of the Lake - where there were a number of people fishing.
Overhead a few ospreys went by. I kept watching the loons, and happened to look up after a time just as an osprey went in for a dive. It actually pulled up at the last minute and grabbed the fish off the top of the water.
As usual, the osprey took a bit of time to get moving, and out of nowhere the loon powered in from the right side of the picture - attempting to grab the fish. Evasive actions ensued and it missed - but I got a picture I don't think I'll forget!
Addendum note: I realized in retrospect that the Ospreys on this lake at least) which is full of fish (you should seen the number of fishers in boats!) must do their best to pick the fish off the top of the water, rather than submerge and meet up with the loons that loom in the depths and shallows!

Today's warmer weather and the melting snow created thick fog across the Boston area, especially in the higher elevations of Winchester and Wright-Locke Farm. Turbo and Slim (big white goats) can be seen in their enclosure, while black goat Will is poking his head out of the hut.
More and more people wonder who is actually running the American government, with justification. There seems to be a lack of interest in helping the people or doing any serious problem solving on the part of the chief executive.
The original photo was A.I. generated. Photoleap was used to create this version. I leave it to you to name the actual people that the two figures represent.
C: "I want to go explore while you tell the story Gretel... I'll be right here. Help me down please."
G: "Ok, Clarabelle, but stay close... Now, where was I Matilda?"
M: "Hansel left at trail."
G: "Oh yes! Thank you! "I've left a trail, like last time!" Hansel whispered to Gretel, consolingly. But when night fell, they saw to their horror, that all the crumbs had gone.
"I'm frightened!" wept Gretel bitterly. "I'm cold and hungry and I want to go home!"
"Don't be afraid. I'm here to look after you!" Hansel tried to encourage his sister, but he too shivered when he glimpsed frightening shadows and evil eyes around them in the darkness. All night the two children huddled together for warmth at the foot of a large tree."

The day was filled with getting use to a Pentax K5 and shooting from a blind. Found a lot of functions I had never used before. What a great day.
Few of us who are not working with an eagle center will ever have the privilege of getting within touching distance of an eagle. If we did, one of the marvelous aspects we would inspect is their four talons on each leg as seen extended in this photo I shot last week.
Most of us have observed an eagle either carrying a good sized fish or other prey that he is taking to a seat on the other side of the restaurant to eat in peace.
Though there are special circumstances when an eagle can carry heavier prey, most scientists estimate the physical make-up of an eagle makes anything over a half dozen pounds very difficult to lift.
Scientists measure grip strength using various terms such as pounds per square inch (PSI). One of the testing instruments they use is a dynamometer.
The average hand grip strength of an adult man is measured around 70 PSI, a woman typically measures in the mid-40s (unless they were raised on a farm and milked cows).
Researchers at HawkQuest in Colorado estimate an eagle’s grip strength is at least 10 times that of the human hand which enables them to pick up prey and lock their talons into it as they fly.

I am a colorful kind of a photographer painter ... but when I get brave and edit for B&W, I always love it! Don't know why I hesitate ... my world just needs all the bright and glorious color I can get me thinks!
Great Egret, second version. Beautiful old Live Oak trees and Spanish Moss hanging all around ... the beauty of Central Florida on display.
It's never good to be "too serious" or to frown too much. It's always good to look at the positive side of things.. The glass half full. No matter what.
This type of thinking ensures a happier life. A better mood. A great attitude. Less depression.
When I start to feel depression or anxiety creeping up, I do my best to push it aside.. and GET SILLY!
Anyone who knows me, knows that I've always been a bit silly once you get to know me. But it's always important to never be too serious.. too sad. Because Life is TOO SHORT.
Smile. Laugh. & GET SILLY!!
The thing that makes bird photography so attractive to me is that you are at the mercy of the animal. You can't catch a bird and pose it for a nice shot like you can do with reptiles and amphibians. To be able to get close for great images, you need to be able to understand bird behavior and not be afraid to get down and dirty. When I first spotted a large group of avocets feeding on a mudflat, they were about 100 yards away with nothing but water, mud, and a small stand of reeds between me and them. After about 20 minutes of crawling through the mud, stopping when the avocets went on alert, I had closed the distance to 15 yards. I was able to use the small stand of reeds as cover and watched them feed, sometimes getting so close that my lens couldn't focus (less than 13 feet). Although I was cold, wet, and covered in mud, I couldn't have been any happier.
