The real gales of November pack a larger punch than this, but the waves made for some nice shots today.
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.

Week No. 11: Portraits of Emotion
PS: disclaimer; this is archery practice with adult supervision
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!

Serene photos to relax you as you go through this global pandemic. Stay safe and healthy, my friends.
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.

I saw some snapshots of Kanye West x Adidas fashion show, and I really love their tone of colors. So I decided to use it for reference. I need to practice more on different kinds of skin tones.

Saturday soccer practice in Newhall Community Park in Concord, California. Mt Diablo is in the background.
Interesting aside: The red team is all wearing masks. The white team is all (or almost all) maskless. It reflects the very mixed responses to Covid in our society.
