Yep. It's a sugar maple, big enough to tap next March.

Tepelus, I love the hair colour.
SK, I think we need some video of you taking these photos. Perhaps with the Mission Impossible music playing in the background. |

Thank you. I'm always surprised, always, when action shots turn out well. I usually expect the worst, with good reason, so it's nice to see that once in a while, the effort pays off.

I've thought of doing so as a gift to family members. But I'd drive myself mad trying to select the dozen shots it would take to make up a calendar. I can't even make up my mind most of the time which pics to post here...

Heck, you've probably got enough for one of those 'photo a day' calendar blocks. ![]() If the safari hat doesn't work out for you, try to get your hands on a construction safety helmet, or a bike helmet. Nice and solid, you could drill into it and bolt the fish-holder mount right to the top. If the mount was bolted securely, and connected to the fish-holder by something fairly delicate, like a stick of pine or balsa, the osprey could easily snap it and fly away. And, you could get another stick, re-attach the fish-holder and a new fish, and be ready for the osprey's next pass. |

So a week or so ago we went to an art fair. There's a guy who does photography, both above and below water. He's amazing. We bought a canvass print of a turtle he says is a regular friend of his (below--it's not great quality, shot with an iPhone, but the canvass itself is breathtaking).
But SK, your stuff seriously is up there with his--and he's a pro with many years of experience. I was thinking you could totally have a booth next to him and blow him away. ![]() (picture removed) ETA: Hm. Very grainy. Ah well. It's a gorgeous picture. ETA 2: Mm. Maybe not such a good idea to post someone else's work without their permission. Last edited by heyjude; 06-22-2012 at 12:56 AM. |

I read a news story recently about a
Too bad the animal lost its life due to the encounter. As for the other victim, he still has one more chance to make the same mistake again. |
