I'm an artist and see abstracts and negative images.

WOW, you have some imagination.

I see that this thread is on the verge of 4000 posts(is this the one?). Would that not make it the longest thread in forum history?

Anyway, thanks to all for their wonderful contributions; very enjoyable.

Regards,
Andy

Oh yeah, I forgot about that one. It was easy for me to do, since I never opened it. Wasn't it locked eventually?

The face of fishing joy.
My friend's daughter went fishing with her dad and his retired military friends, in the NC mountains. She landed the group's biggest fish, that took a tiring 15 minutes to reel in.

A view I've read about in books but luckily never experienced, an inbound surface-to-air missile.
This is the view from over a French Belharra-class frigate as it launches two ASTER SAM missiles from the vertical-launch cells.

All I have to contribute is a couple f pictures and short videos from grooming snowmobile trails Monday.

I call police dispatch on the radio when I head out, tell them where I'm going and when I should be done.

If I tell them I should be done by lets say 2:00 AM and they don't hear from my by 2:15-2:30 then they try to reach me.

If I don't reply by within 15-30 minute they notify Search & Rescue and they head out to find me.

S&R was notified once a few years ago because we had no contact. I was soo grateful and impressed
with how quickly they were on their snowmobiles and heading out to find me.

I finally made radio contact and it was called off. No one was upset at the "false alarm" just grateful I was OK.
I am very grateful for their service.

First I want to thank every first responder for everything they do for soo many people. Thank you.

The above picture is from Feb 8th 2019. The Sheriff requested that we haul food and supplies for a Search & Rescue for an avalanche rescue.

Several of those S&R people drove over 200 miles to be at the Sheriff's Office in Junction, UT by 7:00 AM the following morning
after the late afternoon avalanche.

No questions asked they just do it. Total selflessness.

The world is full of amazing people.

They recovered one victim and brought the other two down to safety.

Here's some of my work on a proof sheet I put together.
These are all drawn in Illustrator, I'm a Graphic Designer by trade.
Drawing the Ferrari horse logo was probably the most fun as it's a compilation of reflections, sorta like drawing/painting class.
Funny thing, the red motorcycle on the proof sheet was a Swift that belonged to a dude I once knew, but every bike he bought he totaled or layed it down, obviously not a very good rider? Last I heard he quit riding, he wasn't very bright. lol

Very impressive! Back in the day I used to fiddle with AI's competitor, Freehand (which tells you HOW far back in the day that was) but it was mosty for basic graphic layouts for a choir I used to sing with. A couple of years ago an affordable competitor emerged, Affinity Studio (they also have equivs. to Photoshop and InDesign) and I got it "just because" but it's been so long since I've done anything that I didn't have the patience to learn how it worked. Despite their low price (something like $60 or so) they are fully-featured, professional programs and don't require an annual subscription.

Thank you,
Fortunately, I have all those programs at work.
Some job, huh? I really love InDesign!

What's really scary is he also has firearms, I'm pretty sure he's probably shot himself by now?

I don't have a drop of Irish blood in me, but, as an old friend used to say about certain things that he was attracted to, "It's talkin' to me."

This is a bittersweet photo I took of a grave in Bisbee, Arizona's old Evergreen Cemetery. It's the grave of an unknown U.S. soldier. The grave marker is from the era of the Spanish-American war. Although he is unknown, his sacrifice continues to be honored by the floral tributes.

"Where have all the flowers gone" - the song comes to mind.

John

Another neighborhood visitor. This one in a tree about 75yd from our front yard. ETA: It is a Coopers hawk, probably female judging by her size and the sounds she was making.

As someone said in a previous post about a sandhill crane, "Large and in charge."

Heck, I do not even remember saying that myself. I just ran for my pics to add a sandhill crane to the discussion.

I spotted these Baobab trees on a visit to a Sugar Platation in Tanzania some time in mid 1980s. In the background you will see the "Snows of Kilimajaro".

An old African ledgend is that the Baobab tree long ago displeased one of the Gods, the God ripped it out of the ground and shoved the top down into the hole leaving the roots exposed, and they have grown that way ever since.

Where’s Everybody Going?
I finally gave in and bought a longer lens.
Sigma 150-600.
I used to say that I was too cheap to buy one and too lazy to carry it around.
Have gotten some good shots of things standing still, have a ways to go with fast movers.

I love all the bird photos!

Here's one I took a while back. I posted it in the lounge and asked for captions, this was my favorite (sadly, I can't remember who came up with it):

And here's an eagle enjoying his lunch while on the back of the Loch Ness monster:

I forgot to mention that a few seconds after I took this one, the fish that the eagle was eating slipped into the water, and apparently sank, because the eagle just stood there, looking into the water, and looking very disappointed!

I rolled my ATV over backwards yesterday.










I managed to only fracture my left scapula and a friend rode it back to his place for me.

At least you're not seriously injured, that's bad enough!
Quick recoveries Rubi!

Glad you're doing well. An ATV wreck in the back country is never a small thing.
