    … however much I enjoy shooting all creatures and especially those with wings I keep returning to raptors … birds of prey. These are a couple of shots I recently took of Leroy a Harris’s Hawk which is among the birds that Michele of International Raptors and Falconry flies.

    The top photograph was taken as Leroy was leaving his perch in a juniper tree and entering flight … the photo below is Leroy in action, flying low over the prairie in search of prey and rabbits are a favorite.

    It was a beautiful day in Flagstaff today, snow on the ground and temperatures in the low 30’s where I was. Down to the lake in the morning and hoping to do better with the Bald Eagles than I did on Monday … about 60 in flight shots and all ended up in the bit bucket! I installed a new firmware update for the Canon R5 yesterday, so maybe that will do the trick … or perhaps I will do a better job getting the initial focus and keeping the subject in frame.

    This is it for the week and the plan as always is to be back Monday morning … choose to have a beautiful rest of the week and weekend … smile and share the joy in your life with someone.

    Keep breathing too …

    Cheers,

    Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
     
    Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.
     
    You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars;
    you have a right to be here.
     
    And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

    A Bad Moon Rising

    By Tommy Acosta
    What the hell is going on? Is the fabric of society in the U.S. tearing apart at the seams? Watching those videos of teens gone wild, smashing windows, stealing from shopping centers, laughing while running over bicyclists — an omen of things to come? What can be done? Catch them? Incarcerate them. Put them in jails until they learn enough about crime to come out as skilled criminals? These kids, these young men and women of color, are growing wild in the streets. From fatherless homes, unable to properly read or write, a dismal and destitute future ahead of them. What is going to happen when they reach adulthood? The cops can’t stop them. There are simply too many. They can flash mob a phalanx of cops and just run berserk around them. What are the police to do? Shoot them? Read more→
