Female ruby-throated hummingbird refueling at bee balm in my garden. It is fascinating to watch these little birds as they hover and dart in any direction as they get lined up with the nectar source. The speed and precision in which they accomplish this feat is truly amazing. Backyard bird.
Andersonville, GA...Mac Hodges Airfield
Last weekend, we had a contest "Precision Aerobatics" at Mac Hodges airfield near Andersonville, GA. I didn't win, place or show....but had a great time.

I'll be headed to another contest this weekend at Harvest, AL...near Huntsville, AL.

Precision & Planning - A couple good friends and myself spotted this female Peregrine Falcon of a pair while hiking the Northern California Coast. Compared to the male, she has more distinctive rufous coloration and is significantly larger (as is this case in this species and many other falcons/raptors). After we determined that we weren't able to get portraits where she was sitting, we carefully curved around and waited at her predicted flight path - with the goal of capturing her flying towards us. She took off like a rocket towards us through the dunes and I was very happy to capture this shot which conveys a sense of habitat as well as speed. It certainly takes a lot of precision and planning to photograph such a precise and speedy bird in flight!

A shot of a Great Blue Heron pulling a fish from the water at the fork of the Thames river here in London Ontario. I was surprised to see this fellow in such a busy place but he was intent on filling his stomach with fish and paid little attention to me or anyone else enjoying the park that day.
It took the working team less than the one hour which I needed to take the sunset photo, to get the wings off the ground to fix it at the top.
That's precision!
It was very interesting to watch.
We miss a lot with the naked eye when wildlife does even routine things. I love the grace and elegance of this goose making a tip-toe landing in the golden tones of an early morning sun.
I’m not sure what this lady was doing, but she was doing it very slowly and very precisely (at first I thought she was on her phone but when I zoomed in it appeared not).

L’origine della morra risale all’antica Roma. Si chiamava micatio o digitis micare (il verbo mico in latino significa guizzare, balenare, in riferimento al veloce movimento delle dita). Era così diffuso che, per definire un uomo onesto, si usava dire: “una persona con cui si potrebbe giocare a morra al buio”. I due giocatori abbassano contemporaneamente il pugno destro, distendendo rapidamente una o più dita e gridando un numero tra 2 e 10. Se il numero indicato corrisponde alla somma delle dita distese si segna un punto a favore di chi ha indovinato. Se la somma è indovinata da entrambi, il colpo è nullo. È considerata un gioco d’azzardo, perché, a ogni lancio, possono essere puntate delle somme di denaro. In quanto tale è proibita dalla legge, per la precisione dagli articoli dal 718 al 722 del Codice penale. (da un articolo di Focus)
Small, Green Violetear Hummingbird prepares to connect with this rather large trumpet-shaped flower. A fraction of a second later, it had its head and bill totally within the tube of the bloom.

Precision Scheduled Railroading is in full effect throughout the Roseville Service Unit. In order to better the company's operating ratio, Union Pacific elected to run fewer & longer trains. This business model cuts down on costs associated with rail transport, such as crew salary and fuel consumption.
After departing Roseville at over 10,000' in length, the MWCEU of September 6th was making good time up the (flat) Valley Subdivision to Redding. At Redding, 22 cars would be set out, causing a nearly hour delay. By the time the train was headed north again, the late summer evening was drawing to a close.
In this shot, the sound of a gentle summer breeze is broken by the echoing rumble of a freight train working northbound through the Sacramento River Canyon. UP 1983, the Western Pacific Heritage Unit, catches the last little bit of daylight as it leads a 111-car manifest through Vollmer's Delta.

IL CORAGGIO DI VIVERE
Foto 59: matrimonio di Simone e Delia, taglio della torta nunziale,

IL MATRIMONIO
_______________________________________________
I preparativi per il matrimonio dei ragazzi furono,
a dir poco coinvolgenti.
Le nostre famiglie si unirono in una comunione d'intenti di rara sinergia.
Ad ognuno un compito specifico per arrivare a confezionare una festa da sogno.
Per mio conto mi detti da fare come non mai.
Realizzando pannelli con foto degli sposi fin da bambini.
Fu emozionante cercare le immagini migliori.
Inoltre, in gran segreto,
preparai un FOTO-LIBRO che consegnai loro il venerdì prima della cerimonia.
Fu una notte insonne,
nella quale i ragazzi si resero conto di quanto amore li circondava.
Fu l'anno più difficile e bello della mia vita.
Presto capirete perché.
Ero come rinato e benedicevo il Signore di avermi dato l'opportunità di vivere.
Mio figlio si sposa ed io son qua, come promesso.
Il luogo prescelto si trova nella campagna intorno a Pisa,
con precisione nel comune di Terricciola.
Dopo varie opzioni la scelta ricadde sulla Badia di Morrona con un grande parco adiacente di grande bellezza.
Un luogo perfetto per simili eventi.
Inutile descriverlo,
chi fosse interessato può cercarlo sulla rete,
ne rimarrà incantato.
Un mix di storia quasi millenaria,
fa da corona all'accoglienza e alla buona cucina,
diventando il fiore all'occhiello che ci riconoscono in molti.
Per nostro conto curammo l'allestimento nei minimi particolari,
ed ancor oggi a distanza di 9 anni, ne riecheggiano i ricordi tra i presenti.
La cena fu servita all'aperto con continui colpi ad effetto.
Ogni portata uno spettacolo degli occhi e del palato.
Non è stato UN matrimonio ma... IL MATRIMONIO.
Fantastico vivere.

Either this tern is a very great hunter or this marsh is full of fish. I watched this guy hunting over the water for only about ten minutes. He dove twice, both times catching a fish. They'll glide high over the water before catching a glimpse of something. They're hover for a second and then dive head first into the water making quite a noisy splash!
