This American kestrel was enjoying its breakfast on a post near the road when a car came rushing by, causing this bird of prey to take flight.
Suzanne's Round 24 for Paparazzi. Did it in quite a rush, so I'm a bit uncertain about it. :-/ Ah, well.
This eagle made so many low passes over my head that I finally began to think it was showing off its spectacular plumage design. The encounter took place on a private estancia in Chilean Patagonia.
A more 'recent time' posting from me tonight, I was on my way to a beer festival so didn't have my regular camea so the phone had to stand in.
Target Travel ex Ensign and Stagecoach Trident in the latter days before their licence was revoked.
Actually looks quite smart but as we gathered from the commissions' report it was what you couldn't see that raised concerns!
Anyway this was a regular working for dropping off kids at the Plymouth Life Centre (swimming pool), actually quite liked the chequered paved floor so aimed to get a lot of this in!

Cats have some sort of a gyroscope in their brain - we know that works when they fall from high buildings and survive. Perhaps they also have some sort of compass, too, as they tend to arrange themselves ornamentally in the geographic center of rugs or other flat forms. I once had a cat that particularly liked to be in the center of a carpet, the center of a throw rug on the carpet, and, ideally, in the middle of a piece of paper set in the center of that rug. In this case, Oliver is a bit off...
Summer Saturday and a pair of 20's head for Skegness holiday makers beware the first coach.. On the 22nd August 1981 it was 20087 & 20070 that provided the power for the 09.22 Derby to Skegness train, it was recorded belting through Beeston. Those enthusiasts in the first coach would probably never see the sea at Skeggie, they would lurk within the station or the more adventurous might make it to the nearest chippie. The bucket 'n' spade brigade would stay well clear of the alien species that "Need the SOUND and the FUMES" in coach one.
20070 and 20087 were both products of Robert Stephenson & Hawthorn limited being D8070 and D8087. 20070 was built 30/06/1961, withdrawn 11/04/1991 and cut at M.C. Metals 07/12/1992 20087 was built 26/09/1961 it spent time with RFS as thier 29 during the Channel Tunnel building, back in England it is now preserved on the ELR.

A very quick snap when I saw the reflections of my grandson (middle) and friends walking away.

I've been off Flickr for a long time; longer than the last time. I will be slowly catching up with the photo streams of friends and contacts who I have had the pleasure of meeting online and offline. It got to the point where I had to make a choice between shooting, processing photos or doing Flickr. I've also been spending a lot more time looking at photo books and individual photography (and photographer) websites. My new tactic is to set a time limit on how long I'm on Flickr, that probably won't work but it's worth a shot (no pun intended).
That said, I think posting more frequently will help. So at least for the rest of the year I will try to post at least one photo daily. Time will tell if this succeeds.

Off To Work.
Many of us do it,
everyday pulling ourselves out of our beds.
Sometimes feeling is it worth it?
The daily grind to earn our daily bread.
Then I remember those that are looking for work,
but cant find it,
Then I feel fortunate to even have a place to work my fingers to the bone.
Wish I could say more,
but I'm out of time,
time to go
(Off To Work).

I haven't been out shooting much at all lately. So, the other evening, I set aside some time to specifically get out there. But sunset just wasn't happening, so I started driving around downtown, looking for some interesting verticals. I finally stopped at the Columbia Tower, the tallest building in Seattle. I had shot here previously, so this time I walked around it a bit looking for a new perspective, and found this one, which I liked with the corner and the light.
Unfortunately, this area had a sign up that said "Patio Closed". I figured I'd be in and out quickly so no big deal. Well, right after I took this, a security guard comes running around the corner, yelling at me about trespassing. "Closed means closed!!". I apologized and said I was just trying to photograph his pretty building, but he wasn't having any of it, and rudely escorted me out...not just out of the closed patio, but off the property entirely.
I then thanked him for keeping the building safe from dangerous criminals like me....and I may have made the universal hand signal of friendship at the security camera after he was back at his desk too, just for good measure. So, I'm pretty sure I'm not welcome in that building anymore....
Not bad for my first photo outing in over a month, huh?
