Southport Chronic Cavers Grotto and a few friends at the 'Porters Vertical Practice Day, permission to visit the property obtained by Paul Snook. April 6, 2008
I'm caught up and occupied with planning my summer trip (as always, should it happen). It will be my 9th year in a row where I have organized my life in such a way that allows me to get away for most of the month of July.
By this point in my planning, I have most of the roads and cemeteries plotted out. Like 7 out of the past 8 years, I'm hitting Oglala National Grassland in Nebraska. Each time I explore it, I find something new and something different.
But my time is limited and I don't want to be rushed. I have more (and more) new places to find and roads to travel. Nothing is set in stone until it actually happens, but I want to explore a bit of Michigan and Wisconsin, Ohio and Indiana. But we'll see.
This is a photo I took in July of 2023 in Oglala National Grassland. I don't remember the exact location, but that's okay.

This old truck has served its later years as a target for bored local residents.About 50 feet to the left of the truck,there was a pile of 12 gauge shells.From the size of the pile,they AREN'T very good marksman...well it is a 12 gauge after all...
Happy truck/target practice Thursday everyone!
Two young Fallow Deer Bucks sparring during the Rut at Bradgate Park in Leicestershire, no quarter was given, they gave everything chasing each other over a wide area and totally ignoring the general public.

I watched this Guy with this little limb for 20 minutes picking it up and putting it down. There was no other nesting material in the tree. I think he was practicing for next year.

The Blue Angles are stationed in Pensacola, Florida where i live. And the Navy Base is about 2 miles from my house. This morning I walked out into the yard and they were practicing for the 2009 season. This one flew right over the house... They are practicing again tomorrow so hopefully i can get some better details. It's really hard to get a good pic of a jet... but i could watch them all day! They are definitely a piece of my childhood :)

A filterless shot of the area where we practiced to check out equipment before going out on the course in competition.
Fighter jets sometimes use Rainbow Canyon to practice low flying maneuvers. It was amazing to watch them even though we only got to see a couple of flights. The Rainbow Canyon is next to Father Crowleys Overlook on the western side of Death Valley National Park. The canyon is also known as the "Star Wars Canyon".
Coast Guard personnel practice rope egress and entree from a hovering helicopter at the US Coast Guard facility on San Diego bay.
Two weeks before they leave the nest, young ospreys start flapping their wings and trying to get airborne.

Wenn die jungen Fischadler beginnen, mit den Flügeln zu schlagen,macht sich die Mutter langsam auf den Weg nach Afrika. Der Vater füttert noch zwei Wochen weiter, dann fliegt auch er los. Nun müssen die Jungen allein klarkommen, und die lange Reise ins Winterquartier überstehen. Faszinierend, dass alle getrennt fliegen. Das Elternpaar sieht sich auch in Afrika nicht, aber kehrt im Folgejahr im Abstand von nur 1-2 Tagen zum Mecklenburger Nest zurück.
Still trying to figure out how to capture the Milky Way. This is just another shot of the same thing in the same place. But, with conditions having been good for shooting this location, I did one more early morning shoot, again just before 1:am this morning. I still don't really know what I am doing, but this time I tried bumping the ISO way up and actually reducing the shutter speed a bit to try to gather more light. I think it helped a little, but it really amplified the vignetting of the lens. Anyway, I am done with this ridiculous 1:am stuff! At least for now.
