Juvenile little owl practice its flight over the roof before trying longer flights away from the nest building.
Practice Makes Perfect - A couple weeks ago, I observed a cooperative immature Red-tailed Hawk on a family hike. I didn't get the shots I wanted that day, but figured I'd try again.
My buddy and I were treated to almost an hour of great passes by this hawk during a windy morning as it practiced hunting and chased a group of Turkey Vultures around. Was a great opportunity to practice bird in flight (BIF) techniques!

As soon as I got the trip photos on the computer, I knew I had to paiant one of these right away. This is a practice painting; hopefully I will do some more.

Thanks Jake for being a great model for me :D
Going to practice more so I can do photographs for people~
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 :)
After finally finishing unpacking the obvious next step was to start practicing. Alison pulled her wand from her holster and took a step toward the trunk. Keeping her distance she pushed the trunk's lid open with the tip of her sneakers and quickly jumped back. A grin struck her face and she was ready!

What looks like the top of a sports practice cage as seen over the top of a backfence. Would it be for golf or cricket? Anyone?
Beryl is trying to recreate the portal she used to go back in the past.
She's a bit rusty but it looks like it's going well...
This picture is an introduction picture to my next BJD wich I will get from my boyfriend for Christmass... a new entity will enter the world through this portal... evil or good, we shall know soon
>.< I spent 2 hours to make this and it still doesn't look like I wanted it to look.. but at least it looks better then my previous 5 attempts xD
The real gales of November pack a larger punch than this, but the waves made for some nice shots today.
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.
Snooker practice
Stage II
Pot all reds, each followed by a colour.
Reset everytime you miss or hit a ball other than the one you're attempting to pot.
(I think this night my best run was 7 reds and 7 colours. A far cry from my best run of 11 reds and 10 colours.)
With a total of 36 pots required to clear the table, my 'average best run' is weak at about 14 and my all-time best run of 21 is so close, yet so far. I've read that to be taken seriously as a snooker player, one should be able to clear this practice without too much difficulty. AND, once you've cleared it, you're supposed to reset it and keep going until you miss. I dunno. Maybe I could get there one day if I didn't drink while practicing, but then where would the fun be in that?
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.

This was mostly to practice on painting skin. So its kinda why his horns have no detail and everything else is meh. Plus I have not been able to sit down and draw for 2 months.
I drew Haruyoshi, figured need Dais-0 here as well. Sense they seem to be my main avis.
Every Sunday evening is duelling practice time on Barracuda Bay! So Lady Anchor and Robin Loot square off and prepare to contest their skill. On frequent occasion, after the count of ten paces, Robin has be known to swig her liquor instead of shooting.
Practicing with lights and depth of field. This is a lot to remember all at once. Also bought my first poses!
