This Sharp-shinned Hawk bolted from our backyard brush pile when I came out to fill the feeders. Fortunately, it landed on a fence on the other side of the neighbor's yard so I could get these photos. Leavenworth, Kansas, USA, December 15, 2025.

The sharpest curve that I've ever seen...

 

More than 180 deg. sharp turn...

 

Seen on our way going to Canla-on, Negros Oriental.

The small group of four of us, who drove around all day in the south west quadrant of Nanton and the surrounding areas for the annual Audubon Christmas Bird Count, were very lucky to see a total of 70 of these fascinating Sharp-tailed Grouse (split up in several different locations). Their numbers seem to vary greatly from year to year. We pulled over to take a good look at this one high up in a tree, and my friends were very patient, giving me the chance to photograph it. This angle is a little "different", but at least there are no small twigs across its face and body, LOL, unlike the other shots I got : ) Aren't they just beautiful birds? Love those gorgeous feather patterns. And yes, you do have to smile at those wonderful, feathery legs. A very heavily cropped photo, by the way, but even so, this was the closest and best view I'd ever had of one before.

 

The helpful lady from the Coroner's Office in England called a short while ago and left a message with the results of my brother's autopsy - natural causes, Ischaemic Heart Disease. I was up to about 5:00 a.m. this morning, I think, trying to find a few songs/music that felt right for John's funeral. I went to YouTube to listen to various ideas, but I'm still not sure how I can get some of these choices from "here" to "there" (Birmingham) : ) I wasn't thinking very clearly and just saved the songs from YouTube - which I read later doesn't work (for obvious copyright reasons, I guess). I think my friend in England said that the funeral place has a list of music to choose from, but of course there are so many versions of, say, Amazing Grace, that I'm not sure how I know what version would be played. Any help/suggestions from anyone who has had to do this, would be much appreciated. Now that the autopsy results are known, I know that time for getting things done is running out rapidly.

 

And HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my good friend, George (George Dixon) today!

  

Sharpes, Florida. A co-worker had told me that a woman and her daughter were murdered here, but I have no way of knowing. I would hope not.

Anyone can see it's a keyboard...

I never asked, nor wanted more than I needed: A kind word,

a soft touch, a true feeling, warmth, understanding...

Couldn’t she see?

Sharpness, I got;

Cold, I got;

Lifeless, I got;

Tired, I got;

Challenges, I got;

Contests, shouting, elbow and back, all these I got!

Warmth, I wanted; Not much, I wanted; touch me, I wanted;

softness, I wanted; A smile, I needed; love, I craved!

I quickly turn away and where I look I see shadows.

Must I chase shadows for the rest of my life?

If you are looking for an island with great white sand beaches, clear water swimming and a little adventure, Sharp island is for you. Just a short trip from Sai Kung pier, this is a great getaway both for sun seekers and hikers – even better if you want both.

For all the years I've injected insulin I had no idea pharmacies will give you a Sharps Collector and take in back when it's full. I asked about this service and got mine today.

This is a crop of a test shot of my bookshelf I did to see how sharp an image I could achieve with my D300 and Nikon 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G lens. I shot at f/8 with an SB600 flash at max output, using a remote trigger and mirror up mode. It turned out really well - even at 300% edges are sharp and fine detail is visible. This is also a Lightroom test to see if its 90% JPEG setting yields visible artifacts in images with fine detail.

I dragged this out in the snow because the details do not show up well in the summer.

Sharp-shinned Hawk (Accipiter striatus). Bay Beach Wildlife Sanctuary, Brown Co., WI. 19 March 2014.

The mating routine of sharp-tailed grouse involves males displaying communally at a traditional site (one used year after year). This site is known as a “lek.” Males compete for mates by performing a ritualized dance in conjunction with calling (often a booming sound) and inflating purplish air sacs along their necks. Females approach the edge of the lek, observe and eventually select a dance participant to mate with.

I love the Nightmare Before Christmas mural painted on the Bound by Design/Voodoo Doughnuts building in Denver.

Up at the cottage, as great big snowflakes drifted slowly down I took several hundred shots trying to catch one in sharp focus with everything else motion blurred.
