This capture struck my funny bone... He's got some food and she's got some nesting material...
A day late, but Happy Caturday! I don’t know what it is about boxes, but Josie and Sebastian like them a lot. You should have been here to watch Sebastian take 10 minutes (at least) to squeeze himself into this one. ;) *Beth’s photo.

And I'll find my way 'cause
'Cause it's love, real simple and that's how it works
Oh, ooh
So won't you just give it up 'cause you don't understand
Big it up but you don't understand
And it's really nice, but you don't understand
So big it up, 'cause you don't understand
'Cause you don't understand, baby
I feel it's fallin' down, I know I'll catch it
You crazy world, crazy world, yeah

Taking a leap of faith with Base Jumper Nicole at the Black Dragon formation in Utah. During my last trip my friend Scott managed to arrange shooting some base jumping fanatics at an area near Moab. I was to shoot from above and Scott was going to be shooting from across the canyon for a side view. I have rarely needed to photograph in shutter priority mode and this was a chance to learn something new about my camera. It was such a rush to stand at the top and photograph the falling jumpers, so much so that I was having trouble holding the camera still without shaking, my nerves were on edge and since this was the first time witnessing somebody jumping off of a 500ft cliff was an adrenaline rush even without having a chute on my back. As she stepped off of the brink I could hear her speaking to god. 🙏
If you have any questions about this photo or about photography in general, I will do my best to help, just post a comment or send me a Flickr mail and I will respond as quickly as possible.
Thanks for taking the time to take a look at my photos, and as always, your views, comments, faves, and support are greatly appreciated!! Have a great week my friends!! :)

Found some time, after taking down the Holiday Lights and Christmas Decorations, to scoot over to a local wildlife sanctuary; the trip paid off ;-)
Cooper’s Hawk:
Among the bird world’s most skillful fliers, Cooper’s Hawks are common woodland hawks that tear through cluttered tree canopies in high-speed pursuit of other birds.
Dashing through vegetation to catch birds is a dangerous lifestyle. In a study of more than 300 Cooper’s Hawk skeletons, 23 percent showed old, healed-over fractures in the bones of the chest, especially of the furcula, or wishbone.
A Cooper's Hawk captures a bird with its feet and kills it by repeated squeezing. Falcons tend to kill their prey by biting it, but Cooper’s Hawks hold their catch away from the body until it dies. They’ve even been known to drown their prey, holding a bird underwater until it stopped moving.
Once thought averse to towns and cities, Cooper’s Hawks are now fairly common urban and suburban birds. Some studies show their numbers are actually higher in towns than in their natural habitat, forests. Cities provide plenty of Rock Pigeon and Mourning Dove prey.

If you have never been to Dyker Heights during the holiday season and you live in New York City or in New Jersey, you will be amazed at the spectacular Christmas decorations that the mainly residential neighborhood in the southwest corner of Brooklyn do every year. There are actually paid tours that take tourist to see the light in Dyker Heights every year! Still time to see it you are close and haven’t but I hear a nasty cold storm is going to hit my family and friends up in the northeast for Christmas so the priority is to stay safe and warm this Christmas weekend! - [ ] #developportdev @gothamtomato @developphotonewsletter @omsystem.cameras #excellent_america #omsystem @bheventspace @bhphoto @adorama @tamracphoto @tiffencompany #usaprimeshot #tamractales @kehcamera @nycurbanism @nycprimeshot @nybucketlist @dykerheightschristmaslights #christmas
… and getting my attention. She doesn't quite accept my work on the keyboard when she wants attention (snuggling on my shoulder while I type is only good for a brief time.) She is more than happy to block keyboard access and ability to see display both. Tikki also gets attention by opera arias, moving pictures hanging from walls and sinking claws delicately into my leg but let’s stick with this. Happy Caturday 5 June 2021 “Getting Attention.”
The CHCPTL got first dibs for working Midway on this morning and they are stretched out all the way down to the Commercial Lead at St. Anthony. The Portland Z is waiting back at Van Buren while the South Seattle Z is pulled up here at EBCS Midway anticipating a tailend setout. East Hump kept main 1 open for other moves, and following a CPKC train was TCW's St. Paul Turn.
Its April 2003 with the construction of the Santa Fe's Transcontinental to relive congestion on the Transcon line many high priority intermodal trains were detoured on the Santa Fe's Raton pass line sometimes as many as four westbound a day and two east bounds .Were at Colmor N.M with the sun going down with westbound passing through the semaphores
To draw the monkey's attention, I snap fingers, gesture, whistle...., but the distraction proves too great to ignore.

Health and happiness (these are my priorities) and I wish that for you too guys.
Merry Christmas and a better 2022.
Greetings from Honduras!!
Three day lillies in the garden this morning! They bloom and fade in a flash, so ...work will just have to wait.
Our first surprise : the gentoo penguins are waterbirds but their nest is far from the sea, sometimes on hills.
For us, as short time visitors, the rules are simple :
Clean your clothes and bags before landing, never put anything on the ground, never sit down, never get on your knees, never approach less than 5 meters from animals, give them a total priority, move back if they come to you.
And enjoy, it's magic !!!
Falkland islands.
You are so dandy, you're sweet as candy....🍥
I experimented with different lighting, sunlight, lamplight, I also experimented with the aperture setting. I found F5 worked very well in this ight. I was able to zero in on the green candy

Richmond Park is London's largest Royal Park, covering an area of 2,500 acres. It is a National Nature Reserve and a Site of Special Scientific Interest, of both national and international importance for wildlife conservation.
Richmond Park was established in its present form by King Charles I, who in 1637 turned the area on the hill above Richmond into a hunting park for red and fallow deer. He enclosed the Park with high walls, an action that was not popular with the local residents, although he did allow pedestrians to exercise historic rights of way across it. To this day most of the wall remains, although some sections have been removed over the centuries and the remainder has been rebuilt and reinforced.
Legal action in 1758 by John Lewis, a public-spirited brewer of Richmond, confirmed the right of access for pedestrians at all times and frustrated attempts by the Royal Ranger to prevent such access.
The Park has changed little over the centuries and, although it is surrounded by human habitation, the varied landscape of hills, woodland gardens and grasslands set among ancient trees abounds in wildlife. This incredible environment has been created by centuries of grazing by herds of red and fallow deer.
Some features have been added to the Park. The Isabella Plantation is a stunning woodland garden, which was created after World War II from an existing woodland, and is organically run, resulting in a rich flora and fauna.
Richmond Park is a site of both national and international importance for wildlife conservation. It is London's largest Site of Special Scientific Interest, a National Nature Reserve and a Special Area of Conservation. The Park also incorporates the most important area of lowland acid grassland in the Greater London region. Lowland acid grassland is a priority habitat in the Government's Biodiversity Action Plan.
The Park is a top UK site for ancient trees, particularly oaks, which have great historic and wildlife importance. The trees and associated decaying wood support nationally endangered species of fungi, as well as a remarkable range of nationally scarce invertebrates such as the cardinal click beetle and the stag beetle. Over one thousand species of beetle (more than one quarter of the British list) have been recorded in the Park.

Union Pacific SD60 No. 6004 leads the ZDVRO 22 with 10 priority UPS trailers at Gilluly, Utah the afternoon of June 22, 2001.
After running all the way to the Mexican border at Laredo for a company town hall, the Royal Canadian Pacific (CPKC 41B-25) is eastbound on UP rails through Houston, deadheading back to Calgary. The train splits Winter Street along UP’s Houston Sub Main 1, making a daytime appearance through the city after a ridiculous sequence of delays encountered the previous day & overnight.
With CP 1401 having led the way south, FP9 #4107 was poised to lead back north- a fairly rare occurrence. As the train made its way along the Laredo Sub, 4107’s horn lever broke off. Running restricted speed for a bit, they stopped at an industry wye in Alice, TX to spin the power, and continued with 1401 now in the lead again- so much for shooting 4107.
The train made it to the Rosenberg Sub just after sunset, following right behind the MMX-181 priority stack train. Just after I had flashed both trains at the SP depot in Wharton a bit before 10:30pm, both trains stopped on the main at Wharton siding to allow a southbound into the hole that had barely departed the yard at Kendleton just ahead.
The southbound was KCS 4805 (the first KCS unit to receive the CPKC paint scheme), suffering from a shifted load in its train and major electrical issues which had clogged up Kendleton for several hours. Once 4805 pulled into Wharton siding, 181 proceeded north to start its work in Kendleton, but the dispatcher instructed 41B’s crew to assist the stricken 4805; 4805’s crew had begun to cycle the unit’s lights at random intervals. I jumped ahead to flash 41B again, setting up at a bridge just south of Kendleton… and a 2+ hour wait ensued while 4805’s issues were attempted to be resolved.
41B eventually pulled, arriving in Kendleton just after 1am. A new crew had been called at 11pm, and was on board by 1:30 for the run over UP rails through Houston. 181 had just completed its work around the same time, and had been lined out from Kendleton up to the turnout onto the UP in Rosenberg. 41B would continue to follow 181, and both trains were lined up to McHattie siding, immediately south of the UP turnout at the Tower 17 interlocking.
I jumped ahead to Richmond for a 3rd & final flash attempt, but despite both trains being ready to go, it soon became apparent that UP’s TD2 dispatcher wasn’t ready to bring 181 (and by extension 41B) onto his main at Rosenberg. Once a UP eastbound was lined through Tower 17, I called it a night and made it home a bit after 3am, assuming 41B would be long gone by sunrise.
Well, after the eastbound UP ZLBHO came through, despite no other opposing trains between Rosenberg and Houston, 181 and 41B kept sitting at McHattie… for over 4 hours.
By sunrise, 181 had bumped up to Richmond siding, just on the opposite end of Tower 17 from McHattie. Judging from this, it appeared that the pair of trains would finally get moving… but only now, UP decided to run a fleet of FIVE westbounds out of Houston toward Rosenberg.
Delays for CPKC traffic over the UP in Texas aren’t anything new, and it wasn’t unforeseen with 41B being a deadhead move, but why the business train along with their highest priority stack train were held up for this long is anyone’s guess. A working theory is that UP had some issue in the Houston terminal to where they didn’t want any inbound traffic, but I guess the world outside the Spring Dispatch Center may never know.
Once this westbound fleet ran through, 181 got on the move east, and after waiting for over six hours, 41B finally swung onto the UP at Rosenberg, heading into Houston in prime morning sunlight. Smooth sailing now… right?
Well by this time, the 2300 crew on board was getting close to running on their HOS; making the next crew change point in Beaumont had long gone out the window. After running no more than 35 miles from Kendleton, 41B stopped once again in west Houston for a crew swap, which was done in around half an hour.
I had woken up a little after the train pulled from Rosenberg, and after getting ready for a later start at work that day, I found I could swing one more shot of 41B making its way through the terminal. I pulled into the pseudo-street running along Winter Street as the tail end of the 181 was passing, and a short wait later, I had bagged 41B again after flashing it just 14 hours earlier, merely 40 miles down the line. We chased the train up to Belt Junction, where we got cloud-banged.

Union Pacific DDA40X No. 6917 leads a priority piggyback train out of North Yard in Salt Lake City, Utah on July 15, 1978.
The wind was a tad bit cool yesterday thus Mr. Chickadee's feathers may have been ruffled up a bit more than usual.
I may not always have time to thank you all for your visits and comments but rest assured, that I do read them and am very appreciative that you took the time to pop by and see what I see here "North of 7" in Rural Eastern Ontario (North Frontenac Township) or, where ever else I might be with my camera now that I am retired and loving it.
