This was taken on a recent day out to Kimmeridge with my son votive.
This one was impossible to compose properly because they all took off together - I just had to grab what I could!

Day 29 of 366
My wife, son and I went to our local high school basketball game tonight so I knew what I was going to shoot. Of the 80 or 90 photos I shot I liked this one of the opening tip off the best. Oh, and the final score: Hastings 54 Middleville 46. Woo-hoo go Saxons!!!

This Osprey (White LN) dived for a fish in the Eden Estuary at Guardbridge, but failed to get airborne straight away. Another couple of attempts were made before a take-off run was successfully attempted and the bird got airborne with a rather large Sea Trout hanging from its talons, though as it carried it off, one of the talons lost its grip. These are the edited highlights from the full sequence.
A battle on the field, friendship off it
The Keelhaulers of the California Maritime Academy gave it their best shot. Again and again.
But in the end the Fighting Billy Goats of Victoria University just had too much fire power. It was a crunching game with hit after hit making some in the crowd wince, but it was a fair game and one contested with great mutual respect. The 34-3 scoreline sounds worse than it was. The Keelhaulers left the game with their heads held high.
After the game – fought so fiercely that you were sure animus was involved – the two teams ate, drank and sang together like old friends. And that is the beauty of sport at its best. It forges an instant bond. You can skip the “how-do-you-dos?” and get on with the important stuff.
The game, played at the wonderful Basin Reserve in Wellington, New Zealand – which has been hosting first class cricket games since 1886 – was attended by a couple hundred vocal – very vocal – spectators who basked in the cold, but sunny conditions.
Keelhaulers Coach Steve Hiaat said he was proud of the team, but that in the end just too many of his players were too new to the game and simply didn’t have the Rugby instincts that the Vic players had. He recently lost about half of his team to graduation and for a few of the Keelhaulers this was their first ever competitive game.

This little girl kept running back and forth into the Crown Fountain at Millennium Park. Then she did this, and I couldn't resist taking her picture.

Countdown #10
Keeping to wildlife within Denali National Park, a favorite destination for us when visiting Alaska, today's post it of a very social caribou that we met along the way.
Last year, we visited Denali NP much earlier for us (i.e. mid-July) instead of during the moose rut period. Our sightings of moose, especially bulls, suffered, but for everything you give up at a certain time of year, there's usually something that pays off instead. In 2010, it was the year of the caribou for us. We were treated to numerous very up close and almost personal sightings of them and they were not shy creatures.
Caribou, aka Rangifer tarandus, are members of the deer family, but unlike their skittish cousins - the deer - they are quite social. Both the males and the females grow antlers, which can reach up to 4 feet! They feed on primarily moss and lichen, which contribute to the reason that they're always on the move. They travel in herds as a rule. They are prone to pesky flies, which actually lay eggs in their back... yuck!
During this encounter, I was able to get out and stand my ground on the gravel road with them. As I mentioned they are quite unafraid and this one approached at a distance that I found myself being a bit curious as to what it was going to do. At this point, it just stood there, as if to figure out who was going to move first. As you can see, it was still shedding it's winter coat.
We are returning to Denali NP even earlier, so who knows what wildlife will dominate this year. That's what makes it all so exciting.... you never know what's around the corner..... but please, let it be my lynx again!!! LOL
Thanks for visiting and I hope that you're enjoying the Countdown.... for tomorrow it goes into single digits!
Happy Hump Day!

My Belfast, April-May 2017 set in my European Union collection.
The Polaroid tear-off calendar is already set to appear for the fifth time and will delight us again every day in 2016 with an instant photo and its own little story. 366 times, the calendar shows the almost intimate snapshots of well-known photographers and newcomers, professionals and individuals.
On the front of each calendar page there is a Polaroid in original size, on the back a little text to the emergence of a picture and information about the photographer and the film used.
Therefore the POLADARIUM is a treasure and an eyecatcher for desk, window sill, cake buffet, parcel shelf, shop windows, bed stand …
The photographs have been selected by a renowned jury: Armin Morbach (www.studiomorbach.com), Gerd Mittmann (www.shutterstock.com), Andreas Müller-Pohle (www.muellerpohle.net), Jeremy Leslie (www.magCulture.com).

This is something I have wanted to make for a long time. I remember I was blown away by the Face/Off-poster when I first saw it. The idea was awesome, and the poster pretty much made the movie for me.

Both the shots are taken with my Nikkor 50 mm 1,8, which is by far my favourite lens. They are taken with one single studio light coming in from the left/right and then I stitched together the shots in Photoshop CS5.
