Reflections from the 2016 Snowmass balloon festival.
I'm starting another big project so I apologize in advance for not keeping up with my contacts....I really do appreciate all the comments/invites and support!
These men are some of the finest pilots in the world. However, there are always extreme risks with anything that requires such precision and accuracy and where milliseconds matter.
Sadly, Capt Jeff Koss the pilot of #6 died in a tragic training accident Jun 2, 2016 in Nashville, TN less than 2 months after we witnessed this show. Our prayers are with the families of all who are affected by the loss of this fine and courageous pilot.
There is now a memorial in Syrna, TN in the honor of Captain Jeff Koss

Great Blue Heron
From Audubon : Widespread and familiar (though often called "crane"), the largest heron in North America. Often seen standing silently along inland rivers or lakeshores, or flying high overhead, with slow wingbeats, its head hunched back onto its shoulders. Highly adaptable, it thrives around all kinds of waters from subtropical mangrove swamps to desert rivers to the coastline of southern Alaska. With its variable diet it is able to spend the winter farther north than most herons, even in areas where most waters freeze. A form in southern Florida (called "Great White Heron") is slightly larger and entirely white.
Explore Dec 7/ 07 Mute Swans, landing, early morning light. They actually run across the water as they land which differs from most that ski across the water until they stop. Larger is better www.pbase.com/woody/image/89992210/original.jpg IMG_2186
Although the last weeks offered quite poor conditions for hiking and photography at least one day of the weekends provided a little bit of sunshine. Costedt, Ostwestfalen, Germany
A Northern Gannet just landing in the breeding colony. He has to be very careful not to land too close to the other gannets. Otherwhile he will get some trouble. I always wonder how they could find their chicks or partners in the crowd..

This Grey Butcherbird prepared the dead branch by stripping off its bark to reveal nutritious morsels.

I purposely left the gannets in the right hand corner in the photo. Every inch of space is at a premium at this nesting site. It takes much precision to find a small space in which to land.

A patient ambush predator, the ‘auku’u, or black-crowned night heron, motionlessly anticipates the perfect moment for a precision strike then catches a fresh cichlid. The nictitating membrane that protects the eye during the strike and prey handling is still retracting as the bird swallows the fish head first. The ‘auku’u is a well-adapted to a variety of aquatic habitats, from protected upland watersheds to urban drainage channels to ocean side tide pools. This indigenous sub-species of night heron is generally diurnal in Hawaii. The red eyes are stunningly captivating!

Those impressive talons are on display as the owl lands on the next perch to be used to resume hunting after it came up empty on the last attempt.
Ever since Niqui's glasses broke while away travelling, I always carry this small handy pen-like precision screwdriver set, with various heads for various tasks.
I'm not always a fan of air shows, but this one I liked. A talented group of pilots...
Seen in Virginia Beach, Sunday June 1st.
C505, 442s2 and BRM001 depart Maldon with the return trip from yesterdays train, this time heading off to Yanco as train 2343.
I left home (30 minutes away) and rushed down here to see it leaving the mill, only to get around to the curve and put the drone up for it to straight away come into the shot. Precision gunzelling at it's best.
