By Amaya Gayle Gregory Absolute surrender, standing by as the glitch in the human mainframe blows itself up. You know the one, the idea that you can control the outcome, can improve your health, your finances, your relationships, that you can invoke or affirm, can listen within and shift reality, can pray something into or out of existence. Yeah, that one. My life keeps upping the ante, resurrecting those little bits of fragility I thought I’d dealt with. When I try something new, a super supplement, a shift in diet, drops of CBD, it works … for a while ……

… the first couple of hours on the lake this morning were beautiful and nearly bird free … seems our friends in nature do not like cold mornings anymore than we do and wait for a little warming before venturing out into life and begin another day. About 11:30A things began to happen … Jim spotted an eagle flying overhead and heading SSE, so I followed it and eventually it hooked up with another eagle and then another pair. One pair headed south out of sight and the other ducked over a ridge on the island and appeared headed in…

… mostly today was about getting caught up with processing photo shoots I have done recently; these photos are from a shoot with Michele and Devin last month. Devin brought four of her birds down from her home base in Colorado and flew them in a field way out Bill Gray Road and what a joy it was to capture these birds doing what they do best … fly and hunt. The shot above is of her Harris’s Hawk cranking and banking against a background of the red rocks of Sedona and the shot below of the same Harris’s Hawk…

By Amaya Gayle Gregory Eleven years ago, I fell from the top of the orchard ladder while picking cherries. It was quite a screw-up. I’ve been known to do that more than a few times this lifetime, ???? screw-up that is. The strap holding a plastic bucket was around my neck, so as you can imagine, it could have been much worse. After all, I am here to tell the tale rather than hanging from a limb in a cherry tree. As I was falling — it seemed a slow mo go — I had a vision of an ant…
… spent some time at Eric’s this morning with another friend from out of town and there is no place where there is more wildlife activity than Eric’s back yard. I decided to shoot with my 800mm F/11 Canon lens as it would really force me to work getting shots where the subject pretty much fills the frame. The field of view of an 800mm lens is only 2.6 degrees and that is not much; a 50mm lens which is considered the nearest equivalent to the human eye and has a field of view of 39.6 degrees. Anyhow, next time…
