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

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

La garcilla bueyera es una garza robusta con una envergadura de 88–96 cm (35–38 in); mide 46–56 cm (18–22 in) de largo y pesa 270–512 g (9.5–18.1 oz). Tiene un cuello grueso relativamente corto, un pico robusto y una postura encorvada. El adulto no reproductor tiene principalmente plumaje blanco, pico amarillo y patas de color amarillo grisáceo. Durante la temporada de reproducción, los adultos de la subespecie occidental nominada desarrollan penachos de color naranja brillante en la espalda, el pecho y la corona, y el pico, las patas y los iris se vuelven de color rojo brillante durante un breve perÃodo antes del emparejamiento. Los sexos son similares, pero el macho es marginalmente más grande y tiene plumas de crÃa ligeramente más largas que la hembra; Las aves juveniles carecen de plumas de color y tienen un pico negro. La posición de los ojos de la garceta permite la visión binocular durante la alimentación, y los estudios fisiológicos sugieren que la especie puede ser capaz de actividad crepuscular o nocturna. Adaptados a la búsqueda de alimento en tierra, han perdido la capacidad que poseen sus parientes de humedales para corregir con precisión la refracción de la luz por el agua. Esta especie da una llamada silenciosa y gutural a la colonia de crÃa, pero por lo demás es en gran parte silenciosa.

This is my 1960 Fender Precision Bass. It was originally a sunburst finish, but was already pretty beat up when I got it in 1968. So I decided to refinish it...I was 14 at the time. As I look on it now, I'm amazed that I was so bold as to completely dissemble, strip down, and refinish my my most prized possession at the time. But with my father's help, everything turned out fine. Today it serves as a reminder of intrepid youth, a father's love, the thrill of performance, and of days gone by.
Press L to dig the bass....
Fortunately before moving away, I was able to shoot trio's of BLE tunnel motors. Not only that, I will play the old man card and say I also shot them before they got all ratty looking with the funky AC units on the front. However I never got them in fall colors like this. With only a few hours available on a trip home, the trio wasn't due to go down the hill until much later in the day. It was disappointing but what can you do. Much to my surprise a good friend tipped me off that some home cooking was in order and to get in position! While most of the twenty or so people I had seen were headed north for an all rail, myself and a few others scrambled down to get this wall hanger of a fall colors shot with the trio. Peak color no less!

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