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!
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
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....

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.

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.
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.

Un buen lugar para compartir con amigos donde hay mesas para jugar al ajedrez, de Pool y de de Ping Ping. También Metegol.
Lo que probé fueron las papás fritas con queso cheedar que me encantaron. Un ambiente bohemio y pintoresco
This is literally in my back yard. I have to admit, it looks a tad bit more wild and untamed than it does in real life :)

This snap was taken a few days ago when the Red Arrows were performing over the Solent, just before the start of an America’s Cup World Series practice day.
I had cycled the last few miles down to the coast in an effort to beat the traffic and was therefore a bit restricted in carrying capacity and weight. Unfortunately, before departing, when I grabbed my camera I didn’t think to change my usual wide angle lens for something a little more appropriate for a distant air display! As a consequence, this snap has been cropped down by a huge amount.
Well that’s my excuse anyway!
Some interesting facts about the Roseate Spoonbills...
The Roseate Spoonbill is one of the newest birds to join the Birdorable family. Here are some fun facts about this unique species.
1. The collective noun for spoonbills is bowl. Have you ever seen a bowl of Roseate Spoonbills?
2. Roseate Spoonbills get their pink color from their food! They feed on crustaceans who in turn have fed on algae.
3. In parts of their range, especially in Florida, Roseate Spoonbills are sometimes confused with another large pink wading bird: the flamingo.
4. There are six species of spoonbill in the world; the Roseate Spoonbill is the only one with pink plumage. Roseate Spoonbill
5. The Roseate Spoonbill is also the only spoonbill species found in the Americas.
6. The beaks of chick spoonbills are straight; the spoon-shape grows as the chick develops.
7. Spoonbills use their specialized bills to feed. They sweep their open bills through the water, and when a prey item like a fish or insect comes between the mandibles, the bill snaps shut.
8. The oldest wild Roseate Spoonbill was discovered in the Florida Keys in 2006. The bird had been banded in 1990, and was an amazing 16 years old. The previous known longevity record for the species was seven years.
9. Roseate Spoonbills are highly social. They feed with each other and with other wading birds. They also nest in colonies and fly in flocks.
