This is an after work photo made from SW Martinazzi Ave in Tualatin, Oregon, minutes before Christmas Eve.
The food cart is at the bus stop. I didn't spot the vendor.He could get a ticket for parking cart there.
The Oudeland van Strijen is a meadow bird area. In the spring it is teeming with godwits, redshanks and lapwings and in winter with barnacle and white-fronted geese. There is also a bird observation hut and a pumping station.
The Oudeland van Strijen nature reserve, 500 hectares in size, is a popular area for many winter visitors such as the pygmy goose and meadow birds such as the godwit and lapwing. The land consolidation and desiccation due to drainage had a negative effect on surrounding plots and on the Oudeland van Strijen. At the moment, the low water level in the ditches in winter and spring in particular imposes restrictions on the successful raising of meadow birds.
A cockatoo taking off on a light pole at the University oval.
I have seen them land on these light poles before and thought "I really should get a shot of that".
So when I heard them squarking outside yesterday I grabbed the camera, quickly snapped on the 300mm, fiddled with the camera settings and leaped outside.
Right at the moment I pointed the camera at the bird and got it to focus off the closer foliage, it flew off. Just caught it! I only took the one shot.
So the title of this image is inspired by Icehouse's 'Street Cafe' - "If there was just one more chance, I'd take it again".
Those idle phone kiosks are probably like "Don't come running to us when you lose your cellphone"
In case you were wondering,that is the Empire State Building back there.

Twilight at Pier One.
The Walsh Bay Wharf Precinct.
Dawes Point, Sydney.
Photographed from Hickson Road looking north to the harbour, on one of my epic after-work walks around the harbour.
Across the harbour are the tall buildings of North Sydney (right) and the silhouette of the ubiquitous Blues Point Tower (left).
To accompany my twilight capture here is something out of the vault from the 1970s. It is the very cool Michael Franks with his slinky song 'B’wana He No Home'. Perfect for a chilled twilight here in Sydney town, or anywhere, lol.

And here is the more famous version of 'B’wana She No Home' by The Carpenters. I LOVE both versions.

The Brazos River flows through the heart of Texas. A focal point for early settlers in the new Republic after 1836, the river runs north to south through central Texas. Today three dams create reservoirs on the Brazos in order to control floods and generate power on the river. Pictured is the middle of these reservoirs which bears the name of the biggest town on the lake, Granbury. Even though it is the smallest of the Brazos’ reservoirs, it measures over 33 miles long and has a 102 miles of shoreline.
Another bird from the hotel grounds was this Roadside Hawk, Medellin, Colombia

I had a lot of fun, photographing the Cormorants at Northport. As a result I have a number of photos of these birds to share. They were quite comical trying to land on the lightpoles. Some would slip and others pushed of the pole. All in all, they made for interesting photos.
