When we grew up, images were telling stories and showing them. Now they’re all into selling. They’ve changed under our very eyes. They don’t even know how to do it anymore. They’ve plain forgotten. Images are selling out the world. And at a big discount :-)

The oldest recorded Evening Grosbeak was a male, and at least 16 years, 3 months old when he was found in New Brunswick in 1974.

When the ice recedes just a few meters from the shoreline of the lake here at my favorite local park lake, the male Common Goldeneyes come in from the nearby Saskatchewan River to claim their bit of open water to attract the females and fight off rivals.
This male was swimming close to a female, and went to this typical courtship pose when another male flew in nearby. The brown mass under his foot are the rump and tail feathers he twisted around while doing this.
I hope to get shots of the often spectacular battles between the males before things get sorted out.

When printing was as much an art form as a technology.
Or, the day the people at the Print Shop at History San José set me and my camera loose in their type storage cabinets.
Having had some experience with off-set printing in the past, it was interesting to see how they used to do it.

When I was a child... I played countless hours with this train.
It was December 1979. I was 5 years old. We traveled to Germany to visit family. Every single morning, my uncle left a small toy car (Matchbox or Majorette) next to my bed, so I would have a present from him when I woke up. Every single morning! Well, with two exceptions: the first morning I found an amazing toy Caterpillar hydraulic shovel, and on Christmas I got from him this electric train.
Back in Buenos Aires I would spend full afternoons playing with the train and the cars, building cities around with Lego.
Almost 37 years later, this train is the only toy I brought to New York with me (just the locomotive, the rest of the cars and the tracks are still in Buenos Aires). I did bring back last Summer some Matchbox cars that a childhood friend found in his home and returned to me. Pictures of two of those are in my photostream a month or two back.
Needless to say this is one of the most fond memories I keep from that age. It was really nice to take the locomotive out of the box and play with it once more (yes, finding the right angle for the shot now qualifies as playing with the toy! In fact, the angle I chose is one my eyes would see often while playing).
HMM to all!
William Street bridge is always a chance for an artistic photo. Providing there is no traffic. You just have to time it right.
Happy Hump Day
When you are in a plane and have no access to a camera, you make the best use of your phone. That is exactly what happened here. Looking out the airplane window, I saw this cloud and the sun. I took few photos with my iPhone out of the plane windows so I can stitch them into a panorama.

When they talk about pearls, I guess these aren't the ones ladies have in mind... but they sure would want them as reflective eh?
When I was taking pictures of the chest with shadow, I found this shadow of maple leaves and thought interesting.
When standing on Johnston's Ridge it's sometimes tough to take your eyes off of the maw that is the North face of Mount Saint Helens, I mean you are really looking down its throat from there, what David was thinking I'll never know. However, if you can tear your eyes away and look to the West the view is spectacular as well, especially just before sunrise with the pink super moon looking, well, pink. :)
On FB my nephew wrote on this and said that I take phenomenal photo's to which I replied that a better photographer would have raised the ISO and got a faster shutter speed to get details in the moon, I didn't even think of it at the time.... :) oh well, next time.

When I spotted this Egret, I immediately thought of bad boy Silvio Dante (Steven Van Zandt) on the TV Series “The Sopranos” and that somehow brought to mind Jim Croce's 1972 recording, "You Don't Mess Around with Jim"
You don't tug on Superman's cape
You don't spit into the wind
You don't pull the mask off that old lone ranger
And you don't mess around with Jim…
Thanks for the Music, Jim Croce

The Snowy Egret:
A beautiful, graceful small egret, very active in its feeding behavior in shallow waters. Known by its contrasting yellow feet, could be said to dance in the shallows on golden slippers. The species was slaughtered for its plumes in the 19th century, but protection brought a rapid recovery of numbers, and the Snowy Egret is now more widespread and common than ever. Its delicate appearance is belied by its harsh and raucous calls around its nesting colonies.
Adult Snowy Egrets are all white with a black bill, black legs, and yellow feet. They have a patch of yellow skin at the base of the bill. Immature Snowy Egrets have duller, greenish legs.
Snowy Egrets wade in shallow water to spear fish and other small aquatic animals. While they may employ a sit-and-wait technique to capture their food, sometimes they are much more animated, running back and forth through the water with their wings spread, chasing their prey.
Snowy Egrets nest colonially, usually on protected islands, and often with other small herons. They concentrate on mudflats, beaches, and wetlands, but also forage in wet agricultural fields and along the edges of rivers and lakes.

When so many blooms are all together, these bright pink peonies put on quite the show. These were captured at a local park's garden. Happy Monday!
Thank you for stopping by and for leaving me a comment, so appreciated. Have a great day and new week!
When I took this shot of a Short Eared Owl I didn't see the photographer in the back ground DSC_5645-HDR-2-1-CR
When I photographed this event three years ago, this shot was overlooked because the background was so busy with boat shed, docks and boat that the action was not well seen. Now, with extra time on my hands and better processing skills to clear the distracting background, the action is clear. That was one lucky trout and an unlucky Osprey.
When I saw this hair and cap from Wasabi in the Weekend Sale, I had to have it. It reminded me of times when a bunch of us would get together and play softball at the local sandlot. Then we had to grow up :(
This hair and cap is available at the Wasabi Store. You might still catch it on sale if you hurry.

When I'm out setting up the LED lights for the Owls, this robin has decided it would be a good chance to get a last minute snack. I was most surprised to see it, whilst so dark. Of course I gave it some food.
This is just lit from the overspill from the owl light setup.
When you go here on a beautiful day you are left thinking about how gorgeous the place is but go here when the weather is more grumpy and it takes on a whole different perspective.
When it is snow and minus 12 degrees Celsius outside I like to look at some old pictures in warm colors from the autumn
When traveling around Arizona nearing the end of the pandemic, much of Navajo Land was still forbidden to enter. In order to see Monument Valley we had to stay at The View. This was taken from our balcony. Best view we could have had.

I wish you all well, and may the winter soon turn to spring. Thanks for your precious words and support, the journey has been wonderful with you ---
With much peace and goodwill
