    Today’s Photo From Ted Grussing Photography: Enedina the Saker Falcon

    … Enedina has arrived and this weekend I got to help Michele out at The Hummingbird festival and held Enedina and helped introduce her to the attendees of the festival. She is only three months old and tomorrow she begins her training so that she can join the flying team of International Raptor and Falconry Center.

    We can call the photo of Enedina above her arrival, landing on Michelle’s gloved hand … truth is that she was simply flexing her wings.

    I’m looking forward to shooting her in free flight and it will be a challenge as she can cover the ground at more than 120′ per second and in a dive more than 220′ per second. By comparison the Osprey in a dive will only move at about 110′ per second and I am scrambling to get good shots of them … new challenges and I’m looking forward to doing it.

    The photo below is one of Michele holding Enedina … methinks she is a very happy person with the arrival of Enedina … Saker Falcons are a real challenge to train and if anyone has those skills, Michele has them. She has been in Falconry for about 25 years now and holds a PhD for her studies in habitat characteristics and nesting ecology of Golden Eagles in Arizona. She has the education and practical experience, studying and working in some of the top raptor centers in the world.

    A nice week coming up and hope it is for you too … as always, it is your choice. Keep breathing, smile and be kind.

    Cheers,

    Ted

    After the day’s struggle, there is no freedom like unfettered thoughts, no sound like the music of silence. And though behind you lies a road of dust and heat, and before you the fear of untried paths, in this brief hour you are master of all highways, and the universe nestles in your soul. Therefore, in the night, sit still a while and dream awake, ere you lie down to sleep.

    War
    War
    By Tommy Acosta
    War…What is it good for? Obviously, it is good for those who profit from destruction and the taking of human life. And what is the common denominator, the impetus for war throughout the centuries? It’s about the acquisition of land, by force, deceit or any other means possible. During the holidays I went to a party where this retired couple were recounting a land dispute they were having with their neighbor. It seems their neighbor was claiming an extra six feet on their property line and the animosity had grown so strong that they were now in court trying to settle whose six feet of land it was. Prior to the dispute they had been friendly but now they had become arch enemies, all for a tiny piece of land. Read more→
