A young juvenile Tri-colored Heron practices the proper moves and lines up the next target on Horsepen Bayou. Still in the juvenile plumage with the rust and gray colors making for a nice appearance in this state. He/she will eventually look a bit more like the adult that I posted recently.

Into the distance, a ribbon of black
stretched to the point of no turning back
a flight of fancy on a wind swept field
standing alone my sense reeled
a fatal attraction holding me fast, how
can I escape this irresistable grasp?
can't keep my eyes from the circling sky
tongue-tied & twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I
ice is forming on the tips of my wings
unheeded warnings, I tought I thought of everything
no navigator to guide my way home
unladened, empty and turned to stone
a soul in tension that's learning to fly
condition grounded but determined to try
can't keep my eyes from the -circling- skies
tongue-tied & twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I
above the planet on a wing and a prayer
my grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air
across the clouds I see my shadow fly
out of the corner of my watering eye
a dream unthreatened by the morning light
gould blow this soul right through the roof of the night
there's no sensation to compare with this
suspended animation, a state of bliss
can't keep my mind from the circling sky
tongue-tied & twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I
[Soundtrack: Pink Floyd - Learning to fly]
Like many families right now, we're doing 'remote learning', and today one of Frost Juniors school tasks was to "Make a Star Wars movie set" out of LEGO.
This is his photo. His idea was to make a cool photo showing his two favourite figures battling above lava. We set it up on our kitchen table using only basic household items.
Along the way, we talked about concepts such as framing, and lighting. What to put in the shot, and what to leave out. Where the focus of the shot should be, and how to best achieve it. About how we could separate Kylo from the background using effective lighting, and how those lighting effects could be achieved. And just generally had fun playing together.
How was your day? Are you remote learning too? Hows it going in your house?
This is totally inspired on this wonderful shot of Chuppy!
Even Lassie has found that book and wanted me to teach her something about photography!
“Lassie, look thru the hole in the camera!”
“What camera?...”
“Lassie! There’s a CAT!”
“OMG!!! Gimme the cat!”
You can see, she has those ears and eyes when it’s about cats!
The best way to wake up Lassie: say the magic word CAT!
Tomorrow I’ll show you her shot!
in the end even dogs can do photography! Proved!
Happy Beginning of the weekend!
PS
About the title: photography is like flying for me, because I can take everything and feel free like flying!

This weeks blog post features images and stories about my beloved burrowing owls ... that I miss dearly. While we have burrowing owls as well in western Colorado, they're not full-time residents and are not as social as what I'm used to in Florida... from what I'm told. Check out the blog if you like and feel free to let me know what you think. :-)
This particular young one is not flying yet, but it certainly has learned that it has wings ... as it runs about with them outstretched and beginning to learn how to navigate with them. These owls have a keen curiosity about their life as they grow up. So much so, I believe that you can see it in their eyes! An endless source of entertainment they provide, I can't wait to fly back "home" to spend some time with them.
Thanks for stopping by to view.

Can I do the charleston? Yes, I can, it's the cat's meow.
Can I do dance poses?
More or less.

"Learning to Fly"
This last month my wife and I just bought a home. It has been a very exciting time for us but also very challenging. I have learned so many things that I never had to do before; buy paint for a whole house, use joint compound to fix walls, change light fixtures, etc. I am very surprised at home much I have done and with very little help.
I am more aware of my need for God to be my compass in life. He has provided for all my needs and been faithful even though I haven't been in most things. Trusting God is like birds leaving the nest.
I have been pushed out into the world.. its time to learn to fly.

Still getting used to the Mamiya RB67. its weight, its pace, and the way it makes me approach a photograph.
These were made at Arthi, a factory I know well, on Fomapan 100. I’m still figuring out the visual language of the RB67, but I’m beginning to enjoy how much it forces me to slow down, observe, and accept a little uncertainty.

the fledgling red-bellied woodpeckers are learning to feed themselves now, which includes periodic visits to the suet feeder. It's always amazing to me to see how long a woodpecker's tongue is!

One from summer when I taught him how to row on the River Clyde, West Scotland.
Marmalade fly (hoverfly) Episyrphus balteatus taken in my garden in Wigan, Lancs. One of two photos taken from a burst of continuous shots taken in my garden in Wigan, Lancs just as it started to conduct, I mean clean itself!
A veces me reencuentro conmigo mismo y solo basta una imagen que me lo recuerde.
Caminé tantas veces por estos espacios abiertos, donde solo la brisa marina y mis pasos solían dar curso a mis pensamientos.
Ahora cuando miro me doy cuenta de cuanto me faltaba entonces y cuánto me falta ahora, logré tantas cosas que soñaba, sin embargo deje otras realizadas en el camino.
Observando a este padre, con su hijo en el muro de esta tan transitada vía, contemplando como la vida transcurre tranquila y sin prisas en medio de una tarde de Octubre, me siento con ganas nuevamente de tomar por asalto el mundo y mirar como este niño con ojos grandes las pasiones del futuro.
Sometimes I come back to myself and a picture it is enough to remind it.
I walked so many times by these open spaces, where only the sea breeze and my steps used to follow up my thoughts.
Now when I look I realize how much I was missing then and how much I need now, I got so many things I dreamed, however let others made along the way.
Watching this father with his son on the wall of this very busy road, watching as life goes quiet and unhurried in the middle of an October afternoon, I feel like again to take by assault the world and look like this child passions with big eyes the future
The Rolex Learning Centre ("EPFL Learning Centre") is the campus hub and library for the École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), in Lausanne, Switzerland. Designed by the winners of 2010 Pritzker Prize, Japanese-duo SANAA, it opened on 22 February 2010.
Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa, partners of the Tokyo-based design firm SANAA, were selected as the lead architects in EPFL's international competition of December 2004. The team was selected among famous architects and even some Pritzker Prize Laureates such as Zaha Hadid, Rem Koolhaas, Diller Scofidio + Renfro, Jean Nouvel, Herzog & de Meuron, Ábalos & Herreros and Xaveer De Geyter.
The construction took place between 2007 and 2009. It cost 110 million Swiss francs and was funded by the Swiss government as well as by private sponsors (Rolex, Logitech, Bouygues Construction, Crédit Suisse, Nestlé, Novartis and SICPA).
The building opened on 22 February 2010 and was inaugurated on 27 May 2010. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolex_Learning_Center
I like scenes like this . . . the parents or elders teaching and passing down the cultural traditions. We need more of that.

This is an "Afterglow"- it's the light even after the sunset, but it mostly appears at the other side of sunset

Into the distance a ribbon of black
Stretched to the point of no turning back
A flight of fancy on a windswept field
Standing alone my senses reeled
A fatal attraction is holding me fast how
How can I escape this irresistible grasp?
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue tied and twisted just an earth bound misfit, I
Ice is forming on the tips of my wings
Unheeded warnings I thought I thought of everything
No navigator to find my way home
Unladened, empty and turned to stone
A soul in tension that's learning to fly
Condition grounded but determined to try
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I
Friction lock, set
Mixtures, rich
Propellers, fully forward
Flaps, set, ten degrees
Engine gauges and suction, check
Mixture set to maximum percent, recheck
Flight instruments
Altimeters, check both
(Garbled word) - on
Navigation lights, on
Strobes, on
Confirm three-eight-echo ready for departure
Hello again, this is now 129.4
129.4, it's to go
You may commence your takeoff, winds over ten knots
Three-ieght-echo
Easy on the brakes, take it easy, its gonna roll this time
Just hand the power gradually, and it
Above the planet on a wing and a prayer,
My grubby halo, a vapor trail in the empty air,
Across the clouds I see my shadow fly
Out of the corner of my watering eye
A dream unthreatened by the morning light
Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night
There's no sensation to compare with this
Suspended animation, a state of bliss
Can't keep my mind from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I

they actually chase each other away but as long as they can't see each other they are fine. just like people.
I love learning Japanese! It's so fun. I use this book (pictured) and other various methods like speaking out loud, flash cards, online resources (such as memorise and YouTube) and apps. :)
Learning To Fly
Tom Petty
Well I started out down a dirty road
Started out all alone
And the sun went down as I crossed the hill
And the town lit up, the world got still
I'm learning to fly, but I ain't got wings
Coming down is the hardest thing
Myself and my mate Ian have been waiting for fog for some time now at Chipping Norton. Missed it yesterday because it wasn't forecast, but nabbed it this morning! YAY!!! This is a 7 shot Panoramic.More shots to come from this morning later. Hope you like "Learning To Fly". Mike
