As promised! I used a tutorial by Cassandra Middles, and this is what I came up with!
My blog post can be seen here sohawtsl.wordpress.com/2019/02/26/some-things-you-cant-see/
And the link to her tutorial is in the description.
Let me know what you think.
On our way home from Bath we stopped to visit an Osprey nest. Two juveniles in the nest with mom 150ft away. Mom calling, presumably urging them to fly. Finally this young female moved towards the edge of the nest and took flight! Mom right behind her. She flew ~ 100 ft around the nest then back for a rest. Incredible:)
As you can see the juveniles have orange-red eyes which will change to yellow when they reach adulthood. They have white down like feathers fringing the edge of their wing feathers (primes etc). So glad Kipp was with me to settle the monopod.
------I have taken a major set back in recovering from a surgery I had last October. I am now on medical leave from work. I cannot pick up a camera and typing flares my symptoms. So catching up with your lovely work is unlikely. From here on, perhaps a few words. Will get back to Flickr slowly. I miss you all so much! And I especially miss my camera.
Be well, Flickr friends!
Today’s bear picture is of a youngster (probably a year or two old) sitting and watching in search of what it is doing wrong…with a spattering of pity party mingled in.
The ranger assigned there to keep stupid people from doing stupid things said that the larger, thriving bears adapt several ways of catching the salmon where the scrawny ones concentrate all their time and effort on only one way to fish.
Some people could learn a lot from watching the bears!

Polar bear cubs stay with their mothers for 2.5 to 3 years learning valuable survival lessons. Here, in a snowy landscape with willow bushes and stunted trees, the lesson seems to have something to do with the sense of smell. The 2nd cub is barely visible behind mom.

It's the heart afraid of breaking that never learns to dance.
It is the dream afraid of waking that never takes the chance.
It is the one who won't be taken who cannot seem to give.
And the soul afraid of dying that never learns to live.

Mist in Wolfscote Dale, with Moat Low, always identifiable on the southern horizon, in the distance.
I'm still getting to grips with the new camera, and managed to switch it into jpg save for a short while, thus making post processing difficult

This mama turkey has brought her little ones into the woods near my house three days in a row! I was very surprised to find them hiding under plants in a garden near the bird feeders on Sunday! I am hoping to get better shots in the near future, but am posting this now so you can get an idea how cute they are.
Here's a confession.
I'm an on the go type of guy.
I can't sit still.
I feel like I have to always be doing something.
Here's to learning to relax.
Key word, learning.

Spanish Imperial Eagle (Aquila adalberti) juvenile Spain_9176
A rare eagle breeding only in Spain and Portugal, with some immatures dispersing into North Africa.
Very similar to the closely-related Imperial Eagle, but is darker overall and adults have a distinctive white leading wing edge on the shoulders which can been seen from below when flying. Juveniles (as here) are rufous and largely un-streaked on the upper-wings, underwings, and the breast compared to the heavily streaked Imperial Eagles.
Mostly found in remote forested landscapes, especially those with a high density of rabbits.
Sydney's first ballet class. This was taken shortly before she left the class. She only made it 10 minutes into the 45 minute class before giving up. I think it was too overwhelming for her being in there with the big kids. It didn't help that Jessie kept giving her instruction...haha. I kept telling Jessie to let the instructor give her guidance, but Jessie being the teacher that she is, kept telling Sydney what to do.
Next week, we will make sure she is in an age appropriate class. :)
