After uhm... just about 3 hours preening, stretching, looking around and plain doing nothing this osprey is finally ready to take off :-)
Fishing boats ready to launch in the small coastal village of Sheringham North Norfolk uk.
An overcast and cold day.

A highly skilled crew all set to sail again, everyone in their position. The two grinders on the left are the power members of the team. Their job is to control the movement of the mainsail by winding the grinders that are atttached to the sheets (ropes). I can vouch for the physical prowess required by this role, as I once did a lot of race sailing in Port Phillip Bay.
The grinder nearest to the camera is not hiding his identity. He is merely protecting himself from the UV rays. Remember, that on the water the UV levels are doubled. There's the UV directly from the sun, and then the UV reflected off the water. You can be burned to a crisp out there.
Even if there are many toothbrushes today, here is my specimen. First, the teeth are cleaned. Lastly, there is still a little scent. Ready to go, the day can start ;-)
Ingredients: toothbrush, perfume bottle, LED light.

I have a tough time getting a decent capture of these guys. They visit my feeder pretty regularly these days it seems, but like the chickadee they are all business with no time to lollygag. They cruise in, land on the perch, immediately jump up to the feeder, grab a sunflower seed and are off, with all taking place in only a couple of seconds.
I find them to be quite skittish, at least out in the open like this, and if they manage to spot me through the window they will without even landing simply make a quick U-turn and fly away, not to be seen again for some time.
It is funny, that when I find them in my spruce tree they don't even seem to be aware of you. I definitely prefer a capture of them in the spruce, and I can often hear them, but rarely can I spot them, and when I do they are way up there. I suppose the challenges they pose makes it sweeter when I can get a decent shot of them. As far as this shot goes, I do like it, but am certainly not crazy over it's hurried looking pose. You can just tell that it is ready to spring up to the feeder.

Do you remember those people who you always wanted to talk to, but never did, but always hoped that he/she would begin the conversation, first?
Well, after a while I realised nothing would happen in such a scenario.
We were both too alike. Too much like the mild summer drizzle against the scorching glass of the car window.
Too afraid, too passive, too quiet.
We needed a flame, a sudden spark that would shine and burn and make us feel bold enough to approach the other; but ironically we both lacked the courage to ignite this spark.
Days, then weeks, then months.
The same faint recognition, the same exchanging of glances, the same expressions, the same uncertainty, over and over again. The same silence, the same crushed hopes, the same waiting..
Then life continues on, like it always does. Everything ends, months become a year, but we have not changed unlike our surroundings; shadows closer to each other than we ever will be in person. New people arrive in our lives with a quiet introduction, and slowly we forget. You and I will just look at each other in the hallways and remember the other as 'the person I wanted to talk to, but never plucked up the courage to began'. One of the 'what if's' of our lives that emerge in our dreams, making us wonder and regret. Another person that we both lost, yet never had from the beginning.
