A picture of my dog running after her favorite tennis ball. I used the curves function to bring out the contrast between the stump and the grass. I also sharpened her body just a little bit to get rid of some of the blur that was on her fur.

My daughter used her position as Assistant Stage Manager to shoot our ballet performance. Here are a few of her shots.
One of Joseph Gutierrez's pieces, Predator Too is very dark and threatening, and there is a huge amount of action onstage. I'm amazed that there are never any collisions!

State Listed as Endangered in Maine; Special Concern in Rhode Island
Being an ambush predator, the black-crowned night heron stands extremely still waiting for small fish, mammals, crustaceans, or even other birds to come into reach. Then without warning, the heron scoops up its unsuspecting prey. These heron will often lure their prey in with appetizing food or floating objects. This is a rare tactic for an animal to use and it has proven to be very efficient and cunning. Atypical for herons, the black-crowned night heron are relatively stocky with shorter bills, legs, and necks. Typically, the night heron hunts during the dusk and is more active at night, possibly due to being outcompeted by other herons and egrets during the day.
Most night heron populations are stable because they are so widely distributed, but some populations have been listed as special concern due to climate change and habitat loss. Climate change is a growing concern for this species, as it is causing a rise in sea-levels and temperatures, causing a reduction of the marsh lands and foraging areas for the heron. With ever growing human populations, habitat loss is becoming a frequent dilemma when it comes to conserving species. Establishing protected water ways through public land investments, zoning or land trust will help this species.

Gallery 224 at the Ceramics Program, Office for the Arts at Harvard is pleased to present an exhibition of work from Montana-based potter Julia Galloway's most recent body of work, The Endangered Species Project: New England. Galloway works from each state's official list of species identified as endangered, threatened or extinct. She has created a series of covered jars, one urn for each species, illustrating the smallest Agassiz Clam Shrimp to the largest Eastern Elk.

Predator Elder from the end of Predator 2. Absolutely awesome figure, can't wait to do some cool shots of him with a better background.
I'm pretending that I'm applying for a job as a toy product photographer. :)
My fee? I get to keep the toy I'm shooting plus one that's still mint on card (MOC).
I'm only half-joking. He he he. I hope a toy manufacturer takes the bait.

History of the MQ-1B "Predator"
The MQ-1 "Predator" is a medium-altitude, long-endurance unmanned aerial system (UAS) that was employed primarily to collect intelligence and secondarily to engage enemy targets. Beginning its service with the Army in 1995 and later used by the U.S. Air Force, the MQ-1 was deployed in every major U.S. conflict during this period until its retirement in 2018. The MQ-1's capabilities made it uniquely qualified to conduct irregular warfare operations.
The Predator was part of a remotely piloted aircraft system. A fully operational system consisted of four aircraft, ground control station, Predator Primary Satellite Link, and spare equipment, along with operations and maintenance crews for deployed 24-hour missions. A Predator crew consisted of a pilot to control the aircraft and command the mission, an aircrew member to operate sensors and weapons, and a mission coordinator, when required.
The Predator and Hill Air Force Base
In 2004, the U.S. Air Force used the Utah Test and Training Range (UTTR) to assess the Predator's ability to strike a moving target with munitions. Crew members guided the drone remotely from Indian Springs, Nevada, and struck two moving tanks with Hellfire missiles. Because of this testing, the Predator was later used in combat to engage enemy targets. The Ogden Air Logistics Complex at Hill also provided software development and sustainment in support of the MQ-1 when in active service. Extensive UAS activities continue today on the UTTR with several different services and platforms.
The MQ-18 on display first flew on 31 January 2005, and was later assigned to Indian Springs Auxiliary Field, Nevada. During its service life, this Predator took part in combat sorties in Iraq, Kuwait, and Afghanistan. After flying 28,069 hours and over 1,600 combat sorties, it retired from service in 2017 and was delivered to the Hill Aerospace Museum for display in 2020.

When I took this behind the lens I received this stare....looking at this now he looks the way our cat looks at a bird. Quite scary
This might have been a tad sharper in good conditions, or if, perhaps, I had had a drink! On the other hand given there was glass and distance between us I will take the drop in quality....

Walking with the wolves at Predator Experience in Cumbria is simply extraordinary. Set against the stunning backdrop of the Lake District, this is not just a walk — it’s a rare and profound chance to step into the world of these incredible animals.
From the very start, Dee and Daniel’s outstanding knowledge and passion shone through. Their deep understanding of wolf behaviour, evolution, physiology and conservation brought every moment to life. It’s not just about being close to wolves — it’s about understanding them, their natural instincts, their communication, and their role in the natural world.
The wolves themselves are nothing short of mesmerising. Cheveyo, meaning "spirit warrior," Chalok, meaning "of the earth," and Chitali, meaning "shooting star," each carry their own story and spirit. At the beginning of the walk, Noah, the fourth wolf, chose not to come out — a perfect reminder that these are not pets or performers, but proud, independent animals with minds of their own. However, at the end of our walk, we had the opportunity to meet Noah — a special moment that felt like an extra gift, adding to the authenticity of the experience.
Walking through the countryside with these stunning creatures was unforgettable. To be accepted into their space, even briefly, was deeply humbling. Dee and Daniel guided us with such care and respect for the wolves, making sure everything was on their terms. Their commitment to the welfare of the animals was clear at every step.
This experience isn’t just brilliant — it is unforgettable, emotional, and genuinely life-enhancing.
