Neat!
(I'm surprised that the wind hasn't knocked it over, as there doesn't seem to be much support for the size (mass))
Just boated by "The Hat" yesterday... light wasn't as nice as in OP photos, but always a beautiful formation! The Hat structure is way more sturdy than some viewing angles would suggest.
Hola Mark! i also played a Conn Cornet in middle school and led my high school trumpet section... when i got to NAS Memphis for Aviation ASW (Antisubmarine Warefare) electronics training, the Company 7 band leader told me he had professional trumpeters in first and second chairs, but he had a baritone slot open... fortunately treble clef, since i didn't know bass clef!
That was my perfect instrument and i played all over that baritone as we marched throughout the near South playing Navy music for county fairs... almost got to go to Mardi Gras, but edged out somehow, so we missed that show. Some of our numbers started traditionally, but then our jazz trumpeters would just go nuts with improvs, and then we would all come back together and finish the piece.
Sadly in those days i only played written music, envying the freedom of the jazz players... but when i got my first of many Native American Flutes, they taught me to play the musical energies that had waited so long to come through me... still playing for meditations and Grand Canyon Youth river trips at 77... thanks for sharing your gifted selections and for the relaxation, memories, and inspirations they generate!
Civilian assault RIB - shark feeding expedition!
Lovely images and agree with previous compliments!
i was captured by the mystery in the agaves! i wondered if the dagger points were obscured with a busy background... that was spectacular light!
Also wondered if you have visited Shaman's Cave (Robber's Roost on some maps)? If not, maybe add it to your list... USFS roads and a short hike to a sweet site (recommend high clearance vehicle and dry roads)!
Hi Brenda, i agree with your choice for the D500. For an everyday lens, i chose the Nikon 18-300 for its durability and serviceability AND not having to change lenses in outdoor conditions until i go to a long telephoto. i know Tamron makes good lenses, but a service experience i had with them some time ago brought me back to Nikon... i shoot in dusty and sometimes wet outdoor conditions and my Nikons have stood the test of time and expedition use. Good luck and great light as you continue!
Some falconer is looking for their hunter!
Great nontypical buck in velvet! Hope you can keep in touch with him and record his antlers after rubbing! Good Luck!
Have you thought about the Nikon 18-300? This is my everyday lens in dusty desert environments and river trips...
i want to buy, what is the filthy comment, a little dust? No Problemo for me, i am a working river guide and need an upgrade! Walt Carr 6024322993 i can do paypal, venmo, orrrr?
The lack of a fluid pump is what restricted their body size in equatorial prehistoric times... glad we don't have to protect our babies from them and their equally successful hunting cousin, the damsel fly, today!
Gorgeous work! The energy of being that close to the Wapiti pack must have been palpable!
Not sure if time would have allowed with running wolves, but i am wondering if a zoom back for images 5 and 6 would show the carcass and ravens that the wolves are running towards for some added perspective and even more BIF?
Shape of tree makes me think it is a Palo Verde that has expired... punky brittle wood, poor burning... (Mesquite and ironwood ar preferred for cooking, smoking, and heating)
