Here's a few more from our recent trip. Saw lots of eagles but not much else unfortunately. Even did a 3 hour kayak trip and didn't see any whales, orcas or even dolphins. Others did, just not me. First an American Bush Tit. Boring little bird with a funny name but one of the few in North American that build a hanging nest. Then another Bald Eagle shot and a long exposure seascape.

Thanks Bob. Just started playing with my ND filters and it was a 50 sec. exposure. Probably only needed 20 sec. or so for the same effect. I like the results as well. More experimenting to do.
Been a while, back to the top with this post. Not the bet focus camera is on sport mode, it looses a few pixels but movement is stopped. Did a whole sequence of the bird diving in and out and shaking off the water. Amazing the control of their feathers birds have that is never seen. I will post some more when i edit them. Well more copyright and crop and maybe sharpen a little. That i all i have done here. This is probably the mot striking of them all.
The Canadian wildfire smoke is still present in the air and the time of day I was there (430ish) wasn't much of a help but I spent some free time at the viewing area before picking up my sister-in-law from the Cincinnati airport
What I believe is a Boeing 737-900ER though I should have looked at the flight tracker a little harder while I was there to be sure

After doing the marble pic I posted a while back, my mind was filled with ideas on variations on the theme. It mostly just ended up as a frustrating chasing of marbles around the bench in the garage. This is probably the last one I'll do for a while.

I missed a chance to ride in a tri-motor many years ago, and still regret it.

I go down this old hwy when I have to travel northeast Missouri for work, which is a lot lately.
I take different route just for change of scenery, but the quickest most sensible route takes me by this big house thats been for sale for seven -eight months?
About a month ago looks like somebody moved in, the 5th of july noticed some new lawn art...LOL
Or one of the fireworks didn't go off?

interesting image. A lot to look at for being a few marbles. After enjoying it for a while and then trying to figure out what/how, about all I conclude is something (bubble wrap maybe) making a pattern in the light… then go back to just enjoying the image and being amused at your imagination and inventiveness, and chuckle thinking of the marbles rolling away.
Thanks Dave. It’s not bubble wrap. Many moons ago I found and old forgotten theater spotlight lens in the attic of an old school I was working in. It has “Frensenlite” cast into the glass. I’m assuming the name is is a nod to the old Frensel lens design. It’s such an interesting piece of glass. In this pic I placed a piece of white sketch pad paper on the glass to reduce and diffuse the light. The bubble wrap looking effect is from dimples on the surface of the glass. I like how the grayscale and shapes of the bottom transition into the marbles.
IMG_6700 by Scott Marvin, on FlickrSeveral years ago a pair of rare and protected Ospreys built a nest on top of a power transmission pole. TVA put up a new pole and let them have this one. They have been returning and raising chicks there for years now.
Interesting pic Mr Marvin. A couple of weeks ago we watched an osprey dive from 75’ or so, hit the water feet first, momentarily submerge completely and then flap laboriously to a nearby poplar tree with an 16” fish. Impressive birds.
The squawking crow on the wire is a bonus.
