    Today’s Photo from Ted Grussing Photography: Spreading ’em … Tucking ’em

    … 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 I’ll fall back to my 70-200 or 100-500 lens. Much easier to keep a moving bird in the frame.

    The shot above is of a Woodhouse’s Scrub Jay tucking his wings after a short flight from a nearby tree to a bird feeder to get a peanut … and the shot below is of one dropping off the tree and gliding into the bird feeder. The light was good and the company better.

    Rounded out the day with a trip to my favorite dentist, Dr. Austin Babcock at Sedona Dental Arts … my frequent trips are due not only to the fact it is good to visit with competent and nice people, but a life spent enjoying milk chocolate and other fine health foods … maybe a kind of payback, but oh so worth it!

    Found an old soaring video that I have enjoyed seeing over and over … pretty cool stuff!

    Have a beautiful day and enjoy the day to the fullest! And keep breathing and smiling!

    Ted

    Give me a few friends who will
    love me for what I am; and keep
    ever burning before my vagrant
    steps the kindly light of hope. And
    though age and infirmity overtake me,
    and I come not within sight of the
    castle of my dreams, teach me still to
    be thankful for life, and for time’s olden
    memories that are sweet and good and
    sweet; and may the evening’s twilight
    find me gentle still.

    The Sad Lesson of Tyre Nichols
    By Tommy Acosta
    Having grown up in the mean streets of the Bronx there is one lesson we learn early on, and that’s don’t mess with the cops when they got you down, and outnumbered. The beating of Tyre Nichols at the hands of the police preceding his death at the hospital could have been avoided if only he had the sense to not resist them. People fail to understand that on the streets, cops are basically “God.” You can’t fight them. If it takes one, two, five, ten or twenty officers they will eventually put you down and hurt you if they have to in the process of detaining or arresting you. In the Bronx we would fight amongst ourselves but when the cops came it was “Yes, officer. No, officer,” and do our best to look as innocent as possible. People need to understand that cops on the street represent the full power of the state and government. Read more→
