Don’t get me wrong, I love my job and I have a great team. But sometimes the clients really trying my patience. Today was one of those days, and it didn’t help that I had to start my day with a 6:45 AM meeting.
This guy is Wrath. He's hand sculpted from a local Colorado artist, and if you go back to January 4, you can see him on my wall, over my desk.😉
This was taken a couple years ago on a rainy day. I sure would love some rain right now.
It's supposed to be 102F here today, ugh!!!!

Because saguaros grow so slowly, it might take 50 to 75 years for them to grow their first arms. Arms are important to them because they store extra water. After 100 years, they usually have several arms. After 200 years they have many arms. Amazing the age of these beautiful plants. This large one is probably over 200 years old.
Arms are important to saguaros because they store extra water and increase the plant's reproductive capacity. The number of arms a saguaro grows depends on how much water it receives.
Note the bird nests in the large cactus on the left.
How silently they tumble down
And come to rest upon the ground
To lay a carpet, rich and rare,
Beneath the trees without a care,
Content to sleep, their work well done,
Colors gleaming in the sun.
At other times, they wildly fly
Until they nearly reach the sky.
Twisting, turning through the air
Till all the trees stand stark and bare.
Exhausted, drop to earth below
To wait, like children, for the snow.

Two pelicans just minding their own business floating on the water, in come two dolphins and just keep swimming underneath the pelicans, the pelicans move by flying to another part of the water and you have got it the dolphins follow, this went on for quite a while.
... ensure everything in your frame is acceptably sharp?
Do you focus to infinity? Do you focus on the bottom third of the frame? Or do you have a cheat-sheet with a list of hyperfocal distances based on the effective focal length and aperture?
Mind sharing with me?
Was out and about and as the sun set and a brilliant red overcame the Earth, I came across this amazing four-leaf clover! How lucky! Must be St. Pat's Week!
Looking back to the starting point of our walk. Hill is relative I suppose - a feature of that size would not be named elsewhere

That we are looking for knowledge about how the universe runs, almost the whole of our life. When we think we understand the universe, we die. The other moments we just enjoy this earth...

These twelve images, out of about 150 frame sequence I captured, shows the basics of a great grey owl as it eats a dietary staple, a vole.
1. This great grey owl has a vole trapped in its talons down in the grass and is now looking around for anything threatening.
2. Proof that it has indeed captured the vole.
3. Giving the rodent a little squeeze to damage it sufficiently so that it dies or becomes otherwise inert.
4. Next is to reposition the vole so it can be swallowed headfirst.
5. The first part of swallowing smaller prey whole is to lean over, quickly open the beak, and thrust the head down over it.
6. Typically, this motion is done two to three times.
7. Once about halfway in, the owl will typically tip its head back a bit, and open wide.
8. Between gravity and swallowing actions, the prey is pulled fully into the throat.
9. Well, except for the tail and possibly a leg, as in this case.
10. Job done! But what to do with that dried grass?
11. Open wide, give the head a shake and swallow a few more times to try to ingest or dislodge the grass.
12. Finally, give a satisfied smirk to the photographer. That last bit of grass can be dealt with later.
And that, my Flickr Friends, is how it is done. You are now fully versed in the process, so feel free to try this at your convenience at home.
