Distracted while waiting for Food! by Daniel Love Via Flickr: A new Robin family down the block has afforded a lot of potential shots. While trying to peek through the foilage to get a clear shot has been one of my bigest obstacles. Being in the "Right Place at the Right Time" is a huge challenge.

A Most Unusual Display!—Explored by Daniel Love Via Flickr: Sparrows will nest in some of the strangest places. I guess this is as good a place as any to raise the brood. At first I saw the female bring some nesting material, then I noticed the Male sitting on the ledge above (cropped out here). Next thing I saw a flutter of wings and held the shutter button down, being at the end of my zoom I hoped for the best. I didn't notice that both male (right) and female have their tail feathers faced out untill I pixel peeped on my computer when I got home. I wonder if this is some sort of mating display. Taken Sunday morning at the HAVARD YARD where I saw no one PARK their CAR!

Phu Loi Panorama 1969 by Daniel Love Via Flickr: Taken in 1969 from a guard tower on the perimiter of a USA Military Base in Southeast Asia. I haven't the slightest notion as to why I took these two photos with enough overlapping image to make a panorama 45 years later. My question now is why did I stop with two shots. To the far left was the Guard Tower next to the main gate a twin of the one I spent a month of time in. I don't recall what time the shift started but it ended at breakfast time.

Up and Down, Side to Side! by Daniel Love Via Flickr: 8th Day at sea of a Carribean Cruise on the Norwegian Gem. 12 foot seas and I was headed to the Dramamine Bottle. We had a balcony Stateroom a bit too forward for my taste.

Must Be Good! by Daniel Love Via Flickr: Otherwise about a dozen or so Robins wouldn't have stripped this tree of all the ripe fruit.

2016 "The Blizzard Apocalypse" by Daniel Love Via Flickr: I thought I might have a chance to take a time lapse of the storm as it rolled in. I set my GoPro Hero3+ at one shot every 60 seconds. I attached the suction mount to the outside of a third floor window. Unfortunately the window must have been dirty because less than 2 hours the set-up fell to the sidewalk below. When I checked on it and found it wasn't recording but lying in the snow next to my steps I realized that its battery wasn't big enough to deal with more than two hours of the cold and wind. So I had to charge the battery and figure out another solution. Using a hefty battery charger I use while traveling I hooked the GoPro up to the inside of the window and recorded the rest of the event. The video switches at the 3 second mark from outside to inside. The energy saving windows really plays havoc with the color.
