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.
Müritz National Park, northern Germany.
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.
The real gales of November pack a larger punch than this, but the waves made for some nice shots today.
the young girls practice dancing looking at the mirror which is in the opposite wall.

thanks for every one for views, faves, comments.
Because of their weight and size, most large waterfowl, such as geese and swans, need a long running start to get airborne.
This young Trumpeter Swan, along with its two siblings take practice runs to build up strength and speed in anticipation of their first flight which should be happening soon.
I listen to her heartbeat he said..."until her flesh becomes the music...and it plays my favorite song"

Practicing with lights and depth of field. This is a lot to remember all at once. Also bought my first poses!

My word for 2025 was create. I created many things and learned some new skills. For 2026 I've settled on the word PRACTICE. I'm hoping to take some of the skills I used to create last year, practice and make them perf---ok, maybe not perfect, but better at least!. Today I practiced a bit of embroidery.

Serene photos to relax you as you go through this global pandemic. Stay safe and healthy, my friends.
Diárioooooooo!!!!
Estou tãooo feliz com o violino. Ele é maaaaais bonito que o cello. Mas o maaaais importante é que foi presente do Solle. É como se ele tivesse me dado uma partezinha dele pra que eu cuidasse. Eu vou cuidar disso aqui como se fosse um bebê! Vou andar pra todo o lado com ele, e cuidar dele, e dormir com ele. Bem... se eu dormisse eu bem que poderia dormir com ele. É... eu não consigo dormir direito. Eu só consigo tirar cochilos curtos cheios de sonhos e pesadelos. Só durmo de verdade quando o Solle está por perto, mas se eu durmo ele não dorme. Todas as vezes que fui pro quarto dele dormir ele não dormiu. Ficou acordado a noite toda. Eu sei disso porque uma dessas noites eu fiquei acordada sem que ele soubesse e vi que ele nem cochilou. Parecia preocupado. Ele sempre parece preocupado.... E ele nunca sorri... Queria que ele risse e fosse feliz. Talvez se eu aprender a tocar o violino direitinho ele fique contente. Quem sabe eu não ganho um abraço também?! Hihihihihi! *///////* Então preciso treinar, treinar e treinar bastante!
Tchau, Diário!

Week No. 11: Portraits of Emotion
PS: disclaimer; this is archery practice with adult supervision
some website about crows and ravens, which I shall not name here, has taken many of my shots and posted a link to my whole crow set without any permission. I have emailed them to take them off ASAP, but so far no answer and the images are still posted.
Since my privacy settings prohibit any downloading or printing, I am somewhat puzzled how they got them in the first place. Does anybody know?
I don't like wildlife shots with a huge name printed right on the image, but I can understan why.
Evilyn's daily practice with her telekinesis powers is really paying off... from levitating her sister Ivy, she's now moved on to levitating me!

I'm hoping that daily practice might help me improve my photography, so i started a non-dolly flickr on 2nd January. I'm not calling it a 365 project because i doubt i'll get that far! but i'm doing as much as i can.
This was my first attempt at this kind of self portrait, and it wasn't mega successful. I had some technical issues that meant it couldn't come out quite how i wanted it to, but i decided not to re-shoot it, so i'm putting it on here as it's technically a dolly photo :)
Edit: In case you're wondering, there is very little editing in this scene, the in-camera photo is not very different at all - my dress covered almost all of the stool i was leaning back on so there wasn't much to edit out ;)
He actually had a guy come up and tell him to play him a tune. The guy was more impressed that he could play "Californication" pretty well.

******************************************************************************
The Roseate Spoonbill is a wading bird of the ibis and spoonbill family. This species feeds in shallow fresh or coastal waters by swinging its bill from side to side as it steadily walks through the water, often in groups. The spoon-shaped bill allows it to sift easily through mud. It feeds on crustaceans, aquatic insects, frogs, newts and very small fish ignored by larger waders. The Roseate Spoonbill nests in shrubs or trees, often mangroves, laying 2 to 5 eggs, which are whitish with brown markings. Immature birds have white, feathered heads, and the pink of the plumage is paler. They are extremely agile high in the treetops. (They are often confused with the flamingo.)
