...Wisdom is Knowing When to Say It
It was a delight watching this fledgling Burrowing Owl as he climbed out of the underground burrow and investigated the surrounding area.
The Burrowing Owl is a small, long-legged owl found throughout open landscapes of North and South America.
Burrowing owls can be found in grasslands, rangelands, agricultural areas, deserts, or any other open dry area with low vegetation. They nest and roost in burrows, such as those excavated by prairie dogs.
They are small, sandy colored owls with bright-yellow eyes. They live underground in burrows they’ve dug themselves or taken over from a prairie dog, ground squirrel, or tortoise.
They live in grasslands, deserts, and other open habitats, where they hunt mainly insects and rodents.
Before laying eggs, Burrowing Owls carpet the entrances to their homes with animal dung, which attracts dung beetles and other insects that the owls then catch and eat. They may also collect bottle caps, metal foil, cigarette butts, paper scraps, and other bits of trash at the entrance, possibly signifying that the burrow is occupied.
Burrowing Owls have a higher tolerance for carbon dioxide than other birds—an adaptation found in other burrowing animals, which spend long periods underground, where the gas can accumulate to higher levels than found above ground.
Unlike most owls in which the female is larger than the male, the sexes of the Burrowing Owl are the same size.
Burrowing Owls often stow extra food to ensure an adequate supply during incubation and brooding. When food is plentiful, the birds' underground larders can reach prodigious sizes.
The oldest known Burrowing Owl was at least 9 years, 11 months old when it was sighted in California in 2014.
Not knowing what lies ahead is the worst part of this confinement; all I can do is trust in Providence and hope for the best. This photo is from my archive of travel photos, this time of Pacific Beach in Washington state.

♫♪ Music for the image: Knowing Me, Knowing You
Knowing Me, Knowing You
No more carefree laughter
Silence ever after
Walking through an empty house, tears in my eyes
Here is where the story ends, this is goodbye
Knowing me, knowing you (ah-ha)
There is nothing we can do
Knowing me, knowing you (ah-ha)
We just have to face it, this time
(This time, this time) we're through (we're through)
This time we're through, we're really through
Breaking up is never easy, I know, but I have (I have to go) to go
(This time I have to go, this time I know) knowing me, knowing you
It's the best I can do
Memories (memories)
Good days (good days)
Bad days (bad days)
They'll be (they'll be)
With me (with me)
Always (always)
In these old familiar rooms, children would play
Now there's only emptiness, nothing to say
Knowing me, knowing you (ah-ha)
There is nothing we can do
Knowing me, knowing you (ah-ha)
We just have to face it, this time
(This time, this time) we're through (we're through)
This time we're through, we're really through
Breaking up is never easy, I know, but I have (I have to go) to go
(This time I have to go, this time I know) knowing me, knowing you
It's the best I can do
Knowing me, knowing you (ah-ha)
There is nothing we can do
Knowing me, knowing you (ah-ha)
We just have to face it, this time
(This time, this time) we're through (we're through)
This time we're through, we're really through
Breaking up is never easy, I know, but I have (I have to go) to go
(This time I have to go, this time I know) knowing me, knowing you
It's the best I can do

Without knowing it, he had constructed a gigantic vertical zoo, its hundreds of cages stacked above each other. All the events of the past few months made sense if one realised that these brilliant and exotic creatures had learned to open the doors.

I went for a quick drive through downtown Vancouver the other day and made a couple of stops to photograph the architecture. This is West Pender Place.

You will be taught to fly.

Knowing that I was shipping my camera off today to be cleaned and calibrated, I had to get out yesterday.
Being "camera-less" for the next few weeks brings about an uneasy feeling of dread...or maybe it's just the holidays!
...without knowing it is not fish they are after.

Thoreau could have said the same about Photographers. A day out in Nature's Beauty is good for what ails you.

Mt. Whitney Fish Hatchery
Founded in 1917, Mt. Whitney Fish Hatchery provided fresh trout to the Sierra Nevada region for nearly a century.
As one of the first-ever fish hatcheries, Mt. Whitney is a representation of the region’s rich culture and history.
Though the hatchery is no longer used to hatch fish, the staff organize tours, fish feeding, and wildlife interpretation exhibits.
Inspired by the surrounding mountains, the hatchery was built to last. Construction started in late March of 1916 with the goal of completing the project in the spring of 1917. With the help of local builders, Mt. Whitney Fish Hatchery opened its doors in 1917.
From day one, the hatchery boasted unmatched quality and quantity. The first trout that were hatched were from eggs collected at Rae Lakes. After collection, these eggs were transported from the collecting station to the hatchery via mule train.
During the spawning season of 1918, the hatchery staff collected golden trout eggs from Cottonwood Lakes for the first time. As the official state fish of California, Golden Trout is an impressive but rare sight. The hatchery’s golden trout hatching program was the sole source of this fish throughout the Sierra Nevada.
One final piece of information: the Hatchery was named for Mount Whitney, which is located a few miles to the south. Mount Whitney is the highest mountain in the contiguous United States... with an elevation of 14,505 feet (4,421 m). Mount Whitney is only 84.6 miles (136.2 km) northwest of North America's lowest point, Badwater Basin in Death Valley National Park, at 282 ft. (86 m) below sea level.

Knowing a bit more about photography makes it easier to understand how and why some oil paintings, say the impressionist, abstract or even watercolour paintings, came into being.
"A beautiful closeup of delicate orchid blossoms and a kaleidoscope of background colors. Great depth and soft light."
A review by Flickr friend/Connoisseur Gertrud Klopp
Knowing this guy was coming so I busted out the door to get a nice picture of him in last golden hour light, the sun was in the perfect spot for this shot and I was getting excited then the sun started setting and this guy was still no where to be found.... Even tho he was close on ATCS as the sun was just about to dip behind the trees and disappear for the day he finally showed up and the last sliver of light made a somewhat moody shot as he makes his way north.

Note: Last January 2022, I asked for help and a Flickr support hero removed my account from the Explore algorithm. I feel more sincere and in the moment.

We met these two horses and we brought them some apples every day for one week. They wait for us at the sunsets when we got back from our visits to Maremma beauties. They were giant compare to us but they moved slowly and gently around my daughters and we left them with sorrow in the heart but happy to leave them knowing they were free in a huge area and not exploited for tourists.
Knowing a piece of this wonderful country...its historical heritage, its culture, cuisine and mix of many people...I thank Portugal for the reception (December 2019).
I loaded memory cards with about 700 photos, but I will try during this period to download the ones that I liked the most, I hope you enjoy them.

Not knowing when the next wave is going to hit you, perhaps is your best chance to stay positive. The only way to survive is battling back even if you are feeling down.
Shooting with a GoPro Hero is a totally strange experience for me. Being an optical view finder guy, I have never gotten used to compose a shot with electronic view finders on my mobile phone, or even my Powershot S100. Now, imagine shooting in front of your subjects without using your hand, and instead, strapping and composing the camera with your head. You only get to see the results after pulling still frames out of a long video recording. This is weird and totally out of my comfort zone, but at the same time I feel this as another challenge to get something unique and fun.
Knowing when to walk away is wisdom,
Being able to is courage,
Walking away with your head held high is dignity....
