    … technically it should be empty talons as this Osprey rises from the water having missed the fish he dived in to get. I have some shots with him below the water except for the wing tips still above water but they are not as crisp as I would like and for that matter neither is this one. I used the 1D-X with the new 100/400 to get the shot. The Osprey was more than a hundred yards from me so actually I am pleased to get anything that is kinda good … and the lighting was flat … and I had a terrific time.

    Spent most of the weekend in the house taking courses in Adobe Camera Raw and about 3PM decided to bolt and get out. I had no idea where I was going, but took two cameras with me and first to the gas station then down SR 179 towards I-17 … still no clue where I was headed. As I approached I-17 the Verde Valley looked like it was getting pounded by a storm so I decided to head north and eventually ended up at Ashurst Lake where I took this series of shots. It was beautiful up there … first time on the ground there and thoroughly enjoyed it. My shin splints are doing a lot better too so it was nice to be able to do some hiking up there. I have a tendency to push hard and in June began bumping speeds and inclines much more than I should have on the treadmill … choices and consequences … so I have backed way off, cut down times and walking and they are coming back quite well … of course they did that last week too and I pushed hard again … big mistake :+)

    Monday and the new week are underway … have a terrific day and start it with a smile … easy for me as when I determine I am still here, first thought is of a triple espresso :+)

    Enjoy the day … it is your life we are talking about so do what is necessary to enjoy it.

    Cheers

    If I Were Curtis Sliwa
    By Tommy Acosta

    One of my guilty little pleasures is imagining what I would do if I was in someone else’s shoes, especially politicians. In this essay I would love to jump into the shoes of Curtis Sliwa, a former New York City vigilante who founded the Guardian Angels and is now running as a Republican for mayor of his city.
