Cold October Morning
This little sparrow was caught trying to warm himself up on my balcony this morning.
He looked lonely.

Alabama ANG F-16s in Amarillo
I haven't see any Vipers in Amarillo in along time. They stopped here for a gas and go - and then on to Nellis.
I'm guesing they were enroute to participate in Red Flag.
Thank's to Tac-Air for the access!

The Canadians are here!
It was just yesterday afternoon (when I was taking my daily walk in Medi-Park) I noticed that there didn't seem to be any of the usually hundreds of Canadian geese that winter here each year.
Then that evening, while I was taking a photo of the great western horizon, I noticed a large flock of Canadians off on the distant horizon.
Wouldn't it be lovely (I thought) if they would turn this way and grace my sunset with a fly-over?
Much to my surprise they turned and did just that. They not only flew right overhead (very noisy I might add) they did it twice as if they wanted everyone in town to know they had arrived. Not to mention it enabled me to get the shot here.
Thank you Canadians!

If you don't like the weather ...
.. wait a few minutes.
All these photos were taken within a five hour period today.

So you think you had a bad day!
I saved this poor rabbit today by taking his photo. This Northern Harrier was harassing this poor jack rabbit, trying to get him to bolt so he could pounce on him - but then the raptor saw me and gave up his attack.
As soon as the Harrier gave him some space, the rabbit ran like rabbits can run and I'm sure he probably still is running.
Its' kind of cool to think that the rabbit had no comprehension of how close he was to becoming a meal and how his bacon was saved by me, a photographer who happened to be traveling down a remote dirt road at the exact moment he needed something to come by and save his life.
Serendipity or divine intervention?
I got a pretty cool photo and in return the rabbit got to live another day.
