Rare ski ww Posted December 13, 2016 #4 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Love those pictures. I've been out two days in a row with the snow blower about 6 inches each day. Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As great as your photos make the snow look, I've lived in Florida too long to be able to handle cold weather. But you are welcome to come visit anytime.

Oakman58 Posted December 17, 2016 #10 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Our flight from Orlando has been delayed so I thought I'd post this photo I took as we were returning to Port Canaveral this morning.

Victress2007 Posted December 18, 2016 #12 Share Posted December 18, 2016 We don't usually get much snow in the NW but this week we did. I tried to get the laser lights reflecting on the snow as it was falling. I must admit, I didn't stay outside very long to try! As they don't plow or even sand the side streets here we spent a lot of time at home since Weds afternoon! Vic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare pierces Posted December 20, 2016 Author #14 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Great backstory from Santa's Village Employee: "With all the new toys out there, Santa tried upgrading to his new Dump Truck. Turned out it was just too much for the eight tiny reindeer...and the first house he landed on." Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zackiedawg Posted December 20, 2016 #15 Share Posted December 20, 2016 I had to throw in one more, just because it was a cool scene and very rare for my area. Some of you are lucky enough to live in places where bald eagles are commonly sighted - not down here in South Florida. They are few and far between - just one or two might come down this way and good luck figuring out where they are...so in all my years of bird photography, I've gotten 3 photos of a bald eagle, all taken from distances of up to a mile away, where they look like dust specs on my photo. Saturday, I was out shooting the birds and wildlife, and heard one of our common fishing birds calling out bloody murder in the sky - an osprey sounded like he was in a total panic. So I looked up to find out what was going on, and noticed a much larger raptor-like bird hot on his tail and chasing him. I rattled off a few shots, and realized as I was snapping them that the pursuing bird was a bald eagle. Only once I got home and checked out the photos blown up a bit more did I see why the eagle was chasing the osprey - the osprey was clutching a half-eaten fish and the eagle apparently wanted to steal it: This was a cool and rare thing for me, and finally I was able to see and photograph an eagle that could actually be identified in the photo as more than a dust speck. Here's a closer look at the eagle: Both shots taken with my Sony A6300 and FE70-300mm lens, and cropped quite a bit. Still, it's the closest I've ever gotten to an eagle down here in Florida.

Oakman58 Posted December 21, 2016 #16 Share Posted December 21, 2016 I thought I'd post a couple of photos from our shore excursion at Great Stirrup Cay. I really enjoyed Stingray City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zackiedawg Posted December 21, 2016 #19 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Thanks Dave - you know, that quote really matches the scene well - given the much larger and heavier eagle following behind the smaller and more nimble osprey, yet managing to keep up with him. It does make you think of the big F14 Tomcat tailing those smaller A4 Skyhawks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oakman58 Posted December 22, 2016 #21 Share Posted December 22, 2016 (edited) Great shots of the rays.Allan Thank you. I used a cheap Nikon S33 which takes adequate pictures but the view screen is terrible underwater in daylight. Half the time I was just pointing the camera in the direction of the rays and hoped for the best. A number of my pictures turned out like this one. :D Edited December 22, 2016 by Oakman58 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare TracieABD Posted December 25, 2016 #24 Share Posted December 25, 2016 (edited) Please forgive me... I am going to try to add narrative to a couple of photos. This was the icon for the a major sporting event. This is part of a model of the vast city of Shanghai. This is a funny little dog. We loved this puppy so much, we got one just like him when we returned home from China! Edited December 25, 2016 by TracieABD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
