I kept trying for grab shots out the window because every time I stopped the hawks would fly. Most of the shots didn't work at all. I liked this one because there was enough detail in the moving bird to identify it.

The bare branches are a nice contrast to the hawk, and I like the fact that the focus is on the branches. Sometimes I think the "essence of bird" can be captured just as well when their movement is emphasized, rather than their physical details. I really, really like this one.

Hawks are everywhere. They are on the power lines along almost every road in my area. I was sitting on the back porch the other day and one swooped down along the ground out back...He sent all of the birds on the ground fleeing. Robins in the hundreds, doves by the dozens, blackbirds of untold numbers, all flying for the trees. It looked like schools of fish in the ocean as they flew off. And the hawk just settled down on the top of a tree and kreeed a laugh. That is one of the things I love about our area in winter. Hawks are everywhere.

I don't see so many redtails, but there are osprey aplenty. I often see them hovering over the flats when I cross the Kemah-Seabrook bridge. They can hang for minutes - just so elegant, and deadly to whichever fish they have their eye on! Beautiful! I don’t see so many redtails, but there are osprey aplenty.

We had spent the day before driving up the Shenandoah Valley. On the day this was shot we were heading south to Floyd, Virginia. Thanks Lou.

We had planned a summer vacation with all of our kids. Instead, I spent the summer in radiation therapy for a spot on my vocal chords. By the time I was cleared the kids had all gone on with their lives, so it was me and Sherry. We did all of the things along the Blue Ridge that she had always wanted to do...Biltmore, Monticello, Mabry Mill. Coming south along the Blue Ridge Parkway after leaving Monticello we hit an early snow on the ridges from the night before. This photo is one of the first I took that day. The cabin is part of the Mountain Farm Museum at Humpback Rocks. Since we were traveling in November, all of the facilities were closed and locked so we couldn't do the touristy thing and wander through the exhibits...Or the restrooms at most.

Were you traveling? Was this really in the Blue Ridge Mountains? Is that a little hole in the wall of the cabin? Was it for poking a rifle through? Or is it around here? I think it must be a historical spot because no one would leave their woodpile like that - but that does look like a garden. Inquiring minds want to know! And happy New Year to you and yours!

That was probably what I was trying to catch in the photo. Thanks for the comment. The thing I always loved about this apple tree was the moss growing on the trunk and limbs.
