This chair was set out in the hallway of my building. Someone didn’t want it. I’d see it disappear and then reappear a few days later. Guess people were taking it in, then changing their mind; it never seemed to be accepted anywhere for long. Maybe the chair was rude.
These four contestants didn't make the final of "Dancing with the Birds".
A Peacock, Grey Heron and two Muscovy Ducks looking rather dejected! Better luck next year guys!
Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment or fav my images.
captured in the abandoned Cavern of Lost Souls. (UK, 2015)
On my last photo trip I visited a lot of beautiful places in the United Kingdom but the Cavern of Lost Souls was the by far most intense and awesome place to see.
Used as a dumpster for unused vehicle for many years, this cavern became the most impressive lost place I have seen by now. Finally standing there and enjoying this one of a kind location made all the efforts for planning, the costs to get there and the high risk by navigating through the tunnel system and free climbing a 30 meters drop down in the pitch black totally worth. A view never to forget and an exploration I loved very much.

Though I do have technologically advanced cameras, I tend to prefer older cameras (all these are second-hand cameras with a 16MP sensor) and use them manually. I am not rejecting technological excellence and sophisticated algorithms. All I am saying is that I have more joy when working manually and that Fuji's old 16MP sensor is really good enough for my purposes. This shot was done with my new (ten year old) Fuji X-Pro1.
I was recently blessed to spend an hour or so watching a pair of ospreys working feverously on their nest high up in a Ft. Pickens Florida pine tree. I was impressed by how the female would maliciously weave the pine branches while the male gathered. On at least two occasions, the males’ selections were rejected for quality control issues. The disappointment could be clearly seen in his eyes…it was the same look I give the Mrs. when I return to the grocery cart with bananas that are in the “wrong stage of ripeness” and are rejected by the female. The nest was in its earlier stages, not any wider that the female’s length.
At one point, I noticed the male returning empty taloned. The female immediately ducked her head, bracing for impact as instead of landing on an adjacent branch as he had so many times before, this time was it was the middle of her back. She knew his intensions while he was pretty far back…I’m guessing this is not part of the mating process as she should be well underway with egg development (normally 13.4 weeks from mating to first egg), so hopefully it is normal osprey behavior and not retaliation for stick rejection! Maybe it was to better compact the base construction of the nest…I truly have no idea.
He walked around on her back with talon tips beneath her feathers, wings fully retracted and seemingly proud…as if participating in some type of sick Edward Scissorhands exfoliating pregnancy back rub. I suppose it could be the equivalent to our hug…
I truly love the “why” aspect of nature.
It is 3am and I need some sleep. I hope your weekend is blessed!

This eagle tried 3-4 times to swallow this skeletal portion of the head but couldn't get it to go down and finally spit it out. You might be able to see the eyeballs still attached to the carcass. It did eat the rest of this kokanee.
It isn't often that a catch gets a reprieve so late in the game but the gulf menhaden seen beneath the Brown Pelican's left wing will have quite a story to tell when it gets back to its school on Armand Bayou.

There are a lot of photos from my California trip last month that are in rejected folder for various reasons. This is one of them that went through heavily postprocess just for my amusement :)

Thank you everyone for your visit, favorites and comments.
Lately I became so critical of my own work, nearly nothing made it to Flickr anymore. It all had to fit together, be perfectly artful and artfully imperfect, have mystique and pose questions, break the boundaries of photography, express more than what was visible, all of that. I was so hung up on making "art" that I finally forgot to just enjoy myself. A picture like the one above didn't make it anymore. What a shame, because I think it's beautiful in its own right.
AKA: My first reject!
I liked the idea behind this a lot, but I couldn't seem to get it to work the way I wanted it to. The angle wasn't terribly flattering, and I kept getting head rushes from setting the camera, then standing up too fast and running up the stairs.
It's also obviously altered, as to maintain my modesty.
You know I love taking photos in my car. The lighting is great. Inmycar+50mm? =yeah baby!!!
I still liked the one in the basement better (I used it as the official shot), but hey.
I have also decided that I like my hair less puffy. Like...I like the back all spiky, but I prefer the front either sleeker or tucked behind my ears. This was kinda the way my stylist did it, more "bigger" and still smooth but to the side and I mean it looks great, but it feels a little fancy for me. That day I WAS a bit more dressed up than usual for work so it looked good, but not something I think I want for everyday wear.
I am probably going to be posting a LOT of photos today. I am sick in bed :-( Not the flu, more like a stomach bug. Ugh. Dave is gone for a bit and I am tired of sleeping so I am going to try to catch up on some editing - extras and such I wanted to look at, and still TONS MORE Vegas photos!
