Right after I got this shot, this Red-lined Leafhopper launched himself into space--- (the space between the branches.... :)

I usually try to avoid centering the subject of a photo, but I think it works on this one of Ripley taken at lunch today. : ) No way to avoid her at this speed, but I got lots of snowy, happy kisses once I was lying in the snow.
This board rider looked as though he was launching on to rocks but he had seen a wave coming that I couldn't see.
With the FFF+ at Torquay Surf Beach.
A great grey owl steps off a birch snag to check out some vole activity nearby. I always underestimate how long their wings are, I left room above the owl when framing in the camera, but as you can see, my mental calculation was off.
I really like the large number of large snowflakes coming down. And the bits of snow falling off its head as it launched.
The launching flurry of an Australian Pied Currawong (Strepera graculina) does little to distract attention from the intense golden yellow eye. Image captured in the Bunya Mountains Queensland.
Ospreys always seem highly motivated for the Christmas Bird Count on Armand Bayou. This one was ready to go right at sunrise.
This church (on the fortress island of Suomenlinna, near Helsinki) was originally Russian Orthodox, but at a later point it was converted to Lutherian and its onion domes were knocked down, leaving it looking a little bit odd. It reminded me of a rocket on a launch pad.
on the Kennet and Avon canal at Bathampton, Somerset.
The folks a board were wineing and dining.
The Kennet and Avon Canal is a waterway in southern England with an overall length of 87 miles (140 km),[1] made up of two lengths of navigable river linked by a canal. The name is commonly used to refer to the entire length of the navigation rather than solely to the central canal section. From Bristol to Bath the waterway follows the natural course of the River Avon before the canal links it to the River Kennet at Newbury, and from there to Reading on the River Thames. In all, the waterway incorporates 105 locks.
The two river stretches were made navigable in the early 18th century, and the 57-mile (92 km) canal section was constructed between 1794 and 1810. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the canal gradually fell into disuse after the opening of the Great Western Railway. In the latter half of the 20th century the canal was restored in stages, largely by volunteers. After decades of dereliction and much restoration work, it was fully reopened in 1990. The Kennet and Avon Canal has been developed as a popular heritage tourism destination for boating, canoeing, fishing, walking and cycling, and is also important for wildlife conservation.
The modern elevator in the Old Town Hall with Astronomical Clock in Prague. With it's modern architecture it is a strong contrast to the building. In the picture the elevator is moving.
This picture was shot without a tripod, just with the IBIS of my Canon R6, I was impressed.

Creating memorable moments is something we strive to do on our photo workshops. During an outing this spring, we were getting ready to wind up a fun Milky Way shoot deep in the Utah desert. A 5% moon was just starting to rise when all of the sudden we saw a line of lights traveling quickly in the sky overhead. These lights originated from a single point and proceeded to follow each other all the way to the horizon. We had never seen anything like it! The lights just kept coming and coming. Meanwhile, I decided I'd better take a photo to document it! After we got back, we learned this was a launch of some Starlink satellites by SpaceX. If you zoom in on the photo, you can see the little hooks in the light trails from where they were launched off the rocket. Moments like this will live in our memories forever!
