My Photos of Birds # 29

Album

NOTE:

Imagine this: I had an appointment with my new primary MD for semestral check-up and then when I returned, these tthree Sandhill Cranes where on my front lawn. I was real elated to see this! Of course, I grabbed my camera before they flew away. I went outside and started to shoot my camera. In my mind I had the idea to lure them to stay longer. I asked my son Tyler to bring some seeds for birds. on the driveway of my garages. Just walk casually and don’t look at their eyes, but make sure that they see you place the seeds, then retreat back. They made sure we were at a safe distance, and one by one decided to venture…They loved the seeds! Next refills, we approached closer, they didn’t mind at all. These “three musketeers” stayed for over two hours! You have to chance to see me on the last photo, fully retired and a bit overweight, I’m sporting a full beard too. – H.J.

Special Places # 111

Panoramic Photos

1 – On the way to Wyoming, the ominous approach of a storm is about to strike.

2 – Just before sunset, the seaplane is about to touch down on the Bay of Sarasota, Florida.

3 – Located in Huaraz, capital of Ancash in Peru. The mountain has two distinct summits, the higher being the south one (Huascarán Sur) with an elevation of 6,768 metres (22,205 ft). The north summit (Huascarán Norte) has an elevation of 6,654 meters (21,831 ft). The two summits are separated by a saddle (called ‘Garganta’). The core of Huascarán, like much of the Cordillera Blanca, consists of Cenozoic granite. On 31 May 1970, the Ancash earthquake caused a substantial part of the north side of the mountain to collapse in an avalanche with an estimated 80 million cubic metres (2.8 billion cubic feet) of ice, mud and rock, measured about 0.8 by 1.6 kilometres (0.5 mi × 1 mi). It advanced about 18 km (11 mi) at an average speed of 280 to 335 km/h (175 to 210 mph), burying the towns of Yungay and Ranrahirca under ice and rock, killing more than 20,000 people.

4 – This is the Resort – Beach of Santa Maria, South of Lima, Peru. A delightful cove.
